Barring an offensive explosion you're probably right.I'm not sure it matters that he cleared. I expect that he will not be tendered in the offseason.
Hilarious

Pronman had Svechnikov ranked 9th.

Elite skater who can really pick his spots when releasing the puck. Doesn't need much room to execute and has great quickness in his hands

Svechnikov is the most classic Red Wings pick ever. High-end skill. Definitely not 18 players better than him in terms of pure talent.
His combination of size and elite offensive skills should have teams drooling, so I'll be surprised if he does slide into the mid-teens.
Seems like nothing is claimed on waivers this year. Teams are tight on cap space and roster space.It actually shows how much our "assets" are perceived in the open market.
A few players have been claimed, I posted a link on the previous page.Seems like nothing is claimed on waivers this year. Teams are tight on cap space and roster space.
I believe this also. I think another team could take a chance on him but winds up having a meagre NHL career. Honestly the wings have done a great job and not giving up on guys that went on and had any impact in the league which sadly makes me feel goodI'm not sure it matters that he cleared. I expect that he will not be tendered in the offseason.
He won't have an NHL career because of his skating, but I think he gets a QO to play in GR. Chances are good that he'll go to Europe or KHL instead of signing.I believe this also.

I know enough to be able to judge skating ability. Every GM in the league appears to agree with my assessment.Theres no point , nostradamus predicted abdelkader would get bought out who oh who could have forseen such a tale . He knows all

Yup he cleared, So hopefully he's in todays lineup against Tampa.
I don’t think Svech is a world beater by any means, and I’m not sure what his long term potential is, but cmon, he deserves a real crack. Especially over some of the washed up, non producers we regularly roll out with. A bit strange really.
Totally agree. It's like people here don't have jobs. How often do you talk to your boss? Even working from home, I talk to him at least 3 times a week. Unfortunately for me, my new boss is also firends on FB (he got promoted), so he hits me up on FB once a week too, lol.
Makes you wonder what people do for a living around these parts. Maybe we're talking to a bunch of unemployed folks, who knows?Same.....I'm the GM of the company I work for, and I'm in contact with my boss probably around the same amount. I do have freedom with a lot of my decisions, but alot of thing do directly come from the owner, it is what it is. I do think some people who dont have experience working directly with a boss are just ignorant to the way businesses operate.
It will be interesting to dig in through this thread.Man, a lot of people in here now sound like morons lol
I don't like it when we act like we're smarter than everyone else. Craig Button had him ranked as a #1 scoring winger and a comparable to Max Pacioretty. We can certainly use an elite scoring winger, particularly one with size. My concern is we bury him in Cape Breton and Grand Rapids trying to turn him into a two-way center.
We have a ton of two-way centers with questionable offensive skill.
I did not follow him from the beginning. I usually never try to follow the prospects before they come to the team and NHL
So what went wrong with this kid? 2 injures?
Nobody did.Great, who cares about him playing in Grand Rapids. What rebuilding team waives a young, cheap player who's shown some nice flashes of offense. The first time they waived him teams were probably still weary, now I wouldn't be surprised at all if someone took a flyer on him
Agree. Someone would take him and have a look.Regardless of the logic or reason, we'll see if Svech is really an NHLer. If he is, he'll get claimed. Any team can make salary cap space for him by waiving any player since Svech makes less than $1.075M.
I would assume Stevie made calls to see if anyone was interested in a trade before making the move, but you never know.
I knew Svech's days were numbered here last year when he led the team in scoring in the pre-season... looked good in a callup, but Blash benched him anyway.
Blash is f***ing over another one.
He's f***ing buffoon.
I'm not some Stecher slappy, but he's clearly better than Merril and Djoos and Dekeyser. It's not even arguable, in my eyes.
But Stecher sits for some reason.
Svech's production has been fine. (2nd best Goals/60, 3rd best points/60).
His CF has been OK, considering this team. It's not a joke's like Zadina's or Rasmussen's, anyway.
His GF% isn't good, but it's far from the bottom.

But, let's get more Sam Gagner.
Let's build for the future with Bobby Ryan and Sam Gagner.

Come on, anybody with any sort of hockey knowledge can tell they were both completely useless last season, especially Perlini. You really think Blash is a complete imbecile, don't you?
