I fully expect to move future 1sts as well over the next 5 or 6 years (and perhaps beyond).
2025 DRAFT Discussion
- Thread starter OgeeOgelthorpe
- Start date
Sure if we’re in a cup window I don’t mind doing that. Think I’d also like to add in a mix of dealing 1sts for younger players who are on the outs with teams that can help rather than simply only ufa’s So we don’t have to do another 10 yr rebuild
Still seeing guys like Eklund, Bear, and Aitcheson mocked to Detroit. All would be welcome additions IMO.
If Eklund or Ryabkin aren't there at 13, we should trade back. I may be talked into Aitcheson if he's still there.
2OV Misa or Schaefer, this year's first, next years and I'd even part with Danielson to get it done.

It’s ok. Very good for a giraffe. I have problem with the ‘skates well for his size’ comment. Like I said last page, it’s another way of saying he’s just average as a skater.

Using a 13th overall pick on a 3rd pair D makes me want to vomit.
agreed. And we have a decent amount of solid 3rd pairing candidates already in the system.
LD who can slot in the top 4 or a potential top 6 forward IMO.

Because Martin is very likely gone and teams in the top 10 will lean heavily into centers I think Detroit’s best most likely options are…
Eklund - I expect a Benson-like slide due to size. He’s legit though. Notice Frondell couldn’t get shit done at the U18s without him? And Benson is the guy I think I’d compare him to most. He’s got solid game management and puck protection skills and a real knack for being in the right place at the right time.
Bear - the Achilles injury will scare many but this kid is a pitbull with skill. I think he’s a Cole Sillinger at worst. At best a Seth Jarvis? We could all be happy with that.
Aitcheson - I’m still hoping he’s available and ready to cause carnage from our blue line. The offense won’t be there at the next level to the same degree as it is in junior. He’s got the makings of a nasty 3/4/5 defender. I can see him moonlight at forward a bit like Byfuglien because of his crash and bang style. A lot of people see Trouba in his game.
Carbonneau - I think there’s good but not great skill here. Good but not great compete. Lots of junior level tendencies and lots of future growing pains. He could become a good 25-25-50 winger.

Trade the pick to the flyers for both later picks in the first . Use one and trade for romanov in a deal.
Use the other pick on nesbitt/murtagh/gastrin

The skill and shot with Carbonneau are better than most in this draft… IMO.

I’m not really a conspiracy guy but holy hell utah had a 94.8% of picking 14th so naturally jumps up to 4th??
RedHawkDown
still trying to trust the yzerplan
no shot SJ does this lol
they have no need for extra picks. they have 2 top 6 Cs already in Smith and Celebrini, and Misa is more likely to be a successful C at the NHL level than Danielson is. Another top scorer like Misa is exactly what they need.
Smith-Celebrini-Chernysov
Musty-Misa-Eklund
Great top 6.

I think with his solid skating for his size and reach he could become tough to play against.
I just was expecting to see something be more dynamic between the: puck skills, shot, skating.

Stay at home guy that will be too high on my board for most by the end of this, Blake Fiddler. I have the Wallinder, Guhle, Carlo feelings when I watch him play.
I don’t think he is realistic at our pick but he looks like a project D with a ton of tools and upside. Even if he won’t be an offensive stud, pretty big fan of what I have seen.

Could be a guy the Wings are higher on than we expect.
Haven’t made any attempts to watch him. I know he’s very young for this draft but he has the size and pedigree the Wings like.
How is his skating?

I think his shot is his best tool but I also think Carbonneau gets tunnel vision from the stuff I’ve seen. That might hold him back.

Yeah. Good skill, not the best IQ. Tries to do a lot by himself. I think that might get better as he plays with better players, but a very fair knock.

I like it in terms of my viewing, I think he is a strong skater and is getting better at it. Skating is usually a pretty big one for me. He needs to improve his first step, but I don't see anything mechanically that is an issue and I think he will be a good player. Good second pairing RD, so like we have been saying with Mrtka maybe not what we are going for.
