Everybody knows I love Rasmussen, so take this with a grain of salt, but I don't think that pick was a reach. If you look back at the first round Rasmussen is roughly the 8-12 best player and we took him with the 9th pick. Hischier, Heiskanen, Makar, Pettersson, Necas, Suzuki, and Robert Thomas are all definitely better  Oettinger, Mittelstadt, Tippet, Vilardi are all roughly as good, so it's a pick your poison type situation when Detroit gets to the podium.

Obviously in real life Necas was still available, but there were questions about Necas on draft day or he wouldn't have fallen to 12th OA. In a redraft he probably goes fifth. But I don't think Ras is a "miss". He's probably the 9th or 10th best player and we got him with the 9th pick. People are obviously welcome to prefer different players, but he was selected basically where he should have been.

Kind of what I’m thinking; if we picked Suzuki at 9, I doubt Ras would have fallen back where Suzuki was picked.

Ras was picked right in the range scouts had him.  He just was picked for different reasons than his current value.

No argument from me there. I agree with you.

Is Kasper leveling up?  Did Yzerman hit another homerun?

I think he’s going to be really good, he’s still so young tho.

I'd love to watch more Griffins games, coverage but it's hard to find so far out of market.

AHL tv online is the way to do it. You can buy single day passes for 8 bucks.

 

Edvinsson is a beast.

Lol…Kasper just tried the Michigan. GR announcers straight up said “I don’t like that”.  They both said “it’s wrong” and “not a hockey play”

You like Edvinsson now, Kip?  Cool.  He's a really good skater.

[kipwinger 8,771]

Aaaaaand Edvinsson goes it alone and wins the game for GR in overtime. Hell of a solo effort to win the goalie duel. Wallstedt looked good and was the only reason that game was close.

Eddog's the man.

I actually kinda wish they'd trade him. Tnias Mathurin is clearly AHL ready and Edvinsson is blocking him. If Shawn Horcroff isn't careful AHL ready guys like Mathurin, Jack Phelan, and Larry Keenan will get sick of being held back and start requesting trades.

Hey hey ho ho Simon Edvinsson's got to go!!!! Hey hey ho ho Simon Edvinsson's got to go!!!!

B*tch I don't project anything. I'm not poor. I have a 65 inch LG Signature OLED M4. It's the Rolls Royce of TVs.

Enjoy your Vizio, loser.

Apparently if you wanna beat the unbeatable Wallstedt your best bet is to shoot the puck sorta hard in his direction. I'll never forgive Yzerman for taking Cossa instead.

Sony was soooo bland 80s/90s...Gotta get geekie tech like Yamaha, Onkyo, Nakamichi, Denon, and Mitsubishi.

Scott Wheeler of The Athletic has been working his way through ranking the prospect pools from each NHL team. Today the Red Wings landed at #2.

1. Edvinsson

2. ASP

3. Kasper

4. Danielson

5. Cossa

6. Augustine

7. Mazur

8. Wallinder

9. Buchelnikov

10. Sodorblom

11. Buium

12. Gibson

13. Dower Nilsson

14. Lombardi

15. Anton Johansson

Couple of things to note. Two of our best prospects (Berggren and Albert Johansson) aged out of his rankings, so we're actually in a better position even than his rankings would suggest. Also, Wheeler is famous for not liking Red Wings drafts. He always thinks we should take some tiny winger (Perfetti, Savoie, Benson) and we never do. So then he ranks our draft badly because we didn't. He's on record as really really not liking our picks. So for him to rank us this high is an acknowledgment of how good we really are, and also an indication that other evaluators may even be higher on our prospects than he is.
