ely s 457 Report post Posted September 3, 2019 I was hoping for Albin Grewe to come over again. I watched videos of him and he might be another Bert. This kid looks real good. A you sure about the europeans? Lean Bergmann, another Mannheim player, is coming over to SJ TC, so I was hoping a few europeans would be in the tournament. Kivenmaki and Berggren would have been worth another look. Kivenmaki left a good impression in development camp. With the ´might be´ roster I´m quite optimistic going to Traverse City. Thanks for your effort, big thumbs up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for your effort, big thumbs up No, I'm not 100% sure, but I know a lot of the European leagues have already started, or will be starting very soon. I would assume if their club has already started league games, they wouldn't likely come over for what is a pretty meaningless tournament. In year's past I don't recall any European's coming over for the Prospects Tournament, unless they're already slated to play in North America. A player that may be on the cusp of making the Red Wings would play in the tournament, but a player like Grewe, who is likely at least a couple years away, I would think would be better served playing meaningful games with Djurgardens. I don't know anything about Bergmann, but he is an older player (21 next month), so maybe they think he has a shot to make the Sharks or Barracuda. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bergmann stayed in Germany taking part in Mannheims preseason, as Seider did. Seider opted to go over early and get accustomed to time change, new surroundings and new teammates, whereas Bergmann had the complete preseason and 2 Games for Mannheim in the CHL (2g1a) and heads to SJ today I think. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So pumped to see Seider. You're from Germany aren't you? I assume you've probably seen more of him than most of us here. Where would you like to see him play this season (selfish reasons aside)?

ely s 457 Report post Posted September 4, 2019 Yes, I´m from Germany. Without his injury(23 games) he might have been on the second pairing for half of the season plus playoffs in Mannheim. He started right where he left before the injury and his game picked up the more important the games became and was almost mistake free in the playoffs and the WC. He had his 18th birthday the day before game 3 of the semifinals in the DEL. He is praised by his teammates for his work ethic and positiv attitude. Although I´m a bit biased I truly believe he could play a third line role in Detroit, but I don´t think that it would be good for his development. He needs to play in all situations, logging heavy minutes, so I see him at least on the second pairing in GR. I´ve seen a lot of d-men playing for Detroit over the last 25 years, but only a few had that implicitness/naturalness ( I´m looking for the right word...) in their game as he has. With his smooth skating and his awareness what´s going on around him, he looks more than ready for men´s hockey. My prediction/hope is he is playing on the first unit in GR at midseason the latest and will have a chance to get the first taste of NHL hockey after the TDL. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted September 5, 2019 My list was somewhat accurate, but I was off on a few players. I thought they might want to have a longer look at Svechnikov, Rasmussen and / or Cholowski, but I guess they're going to wait until training camp / pre-season to evaluate them. I'm surprised Cooper Moore and Carter Gylander were left off the roster though. A few players I purposely overlooked were Troy Loggins, Jarid Lukosevicius and Alec McCrea, only because I thought they were a little old (24) to be included in a "prospect" tournament... I've never heard of Sean Romeo or Anthony Popovich, but I guess we needed another goalie with Gylander not attending. Kind of surprised to see Soderblom and Berglund on the roster, but it will be good to get another look at a couple late rounders from this past draft.

As for Gylander, with goalies they take time and we have him, it looks like they want an extented look at Fulcher and Larson + 2 probable additions to our goalie pool. Soderblom left a good impression at the DC, but I didn´t really took notice of Berglund. I think Grewe is already playing in the first team, whereas the other two seem to be still in juniors. That´s why they might be available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, apparently Soderblom and Berglund were granted permission to play because their season in Frolunda doesn't start until September 11th (the day after the tournament ends). They will likely fly back to Sweden right after the tournament finishes up, next Tuesday... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
