BigWillieStyle 662 Report post Posted May 2, 2019 So, is Veleno in the same situation as Rasmussen was last year? Either the big club, or Juniors? I'm kind of thinking that he would be better off with a little bit of time in GR this year. Just look at what happened to Rasmussen last year. Too big of a jump into the deep end of the pool, without having any swimming lessons. Just hope that Veleno is a little bit better equipped to handle playing in The NHL.

It will be GR or the Red Wings. Wouldn’t worry about his ability to swim, Veleno has a higher projection than Rasmussen but I agree that he would benefit from a year in GR.

Is it something to do with his "exceptional" status, and his extra year of Juniors? Or am I just confused on how all this s*** works? It could easily be "yes" to both of those questions.

Yes, that's exactly it. A junior player is eligible to play in the AHL if they will be 20 years old by December 31st of that season OR has already played 4 seasons in the CHL. Because Veleno was granted exceptional status, he's already played his 4 years of junior and can play in Grand Rapids next season. I think he has a real shot to make the Red Wings roster out of camp next season, but wouldn't be surprised to see him start with in GR. I think he'll get a good look in Detroit at some point next season though. 1 3 BringBack19, derblaueClaus, BigWillieStyle and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rags gotta pay Buchnevich, DeAngelo, Pionk, Fox, and Lemeiux yet If they wanna pursue big names they're gonna have to trade our buyout some bigger contracts.

Do they get cap relief if they waive Smith again?? I assume if Gorton feels like he has a legit shot at landing Panarin and/or Karlsson, he'll make some moves. Dunno if Smith would be one of those moves, not sure what his contract situation is. Karlsson probably isn't happening, but I could definitely see Panarin smoochin' Kate Beckinsale and doing lines at the Kompromat Klub Disco. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
