Dress the best lineup every night, regardless of how long a player has been with the team or how much money they're making... I'm sure Ericsson will see plenty of games this season anyway, with Green and Daley still on the roster, awaiting injuries... My ideal defense for this season would be... DeKeyser - Green Nemeth - Hronek Cholowski - Bowey Ericsson Daley traded I'm okay with Cholowski getting big minutes in Grand Rapids, but would still prefer him in Detroit this season. Agreed. But want to see Seider for 9 games. Yah? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If not, I'm more than okay with him spending a full season in Grand Rapids (hopefully) or Mannheim... I'm not too concerned about the 9 games though. If a player is ready, I'm fine with burning a year off the ELC. The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of having a top pair of Cholowski - Seider in GR for a season though...

Even Lidstrom went back to Europe for two seasons after being drafted. Cholowski - Seider Hicketts - McIlrath Lashoff - Lindstrom Saarijarvi That would be a pretty fun AHL lineup to watch this year. Is Lindstrom coming over this season? Can't remember, or maybe it hasn't been announced... Then Ericsson and Daley - and possibly even Green - retire or move on after this season and we promote Cholowski and Seider to play the 2nd/3rd pair. 2020/21 Dekeyser - Hronek Nemeth - Bowey Cholowski - Seider Kaski?

As amazing as Lidstrom was though, he was still a 3rd round pick, so that was understand at the time. Yzerman was drafted 4th overall and made the Wings in his draft year. Different position, I know, but similar draft positions... Yeah, that's what I'd like to see as well, but I think Kaski will at least start in Grand Rapids, unless he has an unreal camp, or we have a ton of injuries on the back end again. Yeah, Lindstrom will be playing in Grand Rapids this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In it he stated that he will miss his parents, but they are only one flight over the Atlantic away. Guess where his parents live: Mannheim, Germany. So if he doesn't stay in NA, he will stay in Mexico our South America.

I totally loved the parents can fly over comment and just did a flight lookup on Delta. From DTW to Frankfurt the closest airport to Mannheim(45 min) first class is like 5K per person dependent on times. From GR prices go all the way up to ~8k per person. So I would assume Moritz is picking up the tab so better for him to make the Wings roster so save some dollars when parents visit...LOL Is there a subtitled version of the interview cause this Michigan boy that coverted to a redneck don't speak that there funny language.

Well Mo just made $92.5K when he signed his contract a month and a half ago. He'll also make $925,000 annually this year if he makes the Wings and $832,500 annually if he goes back to Mannheim. If he goes to GR or OHL though he only gets 70K!!! Gotta think my boy wants to play in Detroit or Germany, but if he's willing to stick it out in GR and be ready for call-ups and pay raises that would be much appreciated Mo.

derblaueClaus 1,668 Report post Posted September 8, 2019 (edited) Here are the more or less interesting takes form the video: - he is proud wearing the Winged Wheel - he wants to compete with the "big guys", wants to be with the Red Wings - His role model is Scott Niedermayer, but he also loves the play of Roman Josi and Zack Werenski - he was raised in Erfurt and was then invited by Mannheim at the age of 14. His parents gave up their Jobs and moved with him. - the moment Yzerman took the stage his mom padded his knee and said "Now it's your turn." - he usually takes his time with things, doesn't feel any pressure. He is usually calm on the ice. - says it's an honor to represent Germany in the NHL - huge amount of talented prospects in Detroit - learned a lot during the prospect camp - he says he didn't saw a lot of the City of Detroit, but that you're near to Toronto and Chicago, that Lake Michigan isn't so far away and that there are areas around Detroit that are beautiful for sure. () - he still needs to get used being more in the center of media attention. - he is a little afraid, but also very excited coming to North America - is excited for the camps, they will decide what comes next after it - he doesn't rule out coming back to Mannheim, but it's only the third option after the Red Wings and the Griffins Edited September 8, 2019 by derblaueClaus 5 ChristopherReevesLegs, Wheelchairsuperhero, ely s and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
