2024 47th Overall Max Plante

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

I was at the WJSS finale between the U.S. and Canada. The A-list guys for USA (Leonard, Buium, Augustine, etc.) weren't playing so it seemed like a final audition for the players.

Plante figured prominently in the game; assisted on the 1st goal, had some shifts in OT...made two sick passes that really should have been buried, was picked in the shootout, even played on the PK tonight!

He had a real solid week and I would be shocked if he wasn't picked for the WJC team. I'm really liking what I have seen from him so far. He can connect on borderline impossible passes. As a nice bonus, he's willing to take a hit to make a play in the defensive zone. He was getting beat down today.

He is a superb passer, as advertised. He's pretty much scanning the ice as soon as he gets the puck on his stick.

What I liked is he made smart passes and didn't force them.

Sounds really nice... :)

Eli playmakers usually live very well with all the other weaknesses on their play.

The big talent Plante play in Detroit this year because of his previous form curve in his previous team.

Coming from his biggest fan; Max would get killed in the NHL. He needs to physically mature, work on making better decisions in his own zone and his skating could improve.

He has savant level playmaking while on the rush but he leaves himself open to being hit and giving up pucks in the defensive zone. A couple years of weight training and playing at Duluth will sort him out

We should come back to this conversation in 3 years.
For next 2 seasons I could see Kasper, Danielson, Mazur, Buchelnikov, Becher, ASP, Soderblom, MBN jump in NHL and we have Berggren and Johansson who will play this season in NHL, but it is 10 guys and I have no idea how Yzerman could manage that.
Expect trades, expect some of our young guys be gone via trade and some of those trades will not be good

I think it is 13 Veteran contracts (3 Goalies, 6 D-men and 4 Forwards) expire over the next two seasons...so there is room for them if they are ready.
 
I was hoping we get Stiga with that second round, I was wrong. Plante could be the best Yzerman choice in Detroit in the second round
