24/25 Waivers/Rumors/TDL Thread.

[LongTimeDRWF]

Guys, I just don't see how there's a future for all of our prospects with the Wings.

I'm all 100% certain that Wings won't have a defense with mostly rookies and u25 defensemen.

Wallinder,Buium and ASP are all like within a year or two years from making the club. Are there really enough spots for them?

Should be, Petry is done the end of this season, Gus, Holl and Chiarot the end of next season, so lots of spots if SY is brave enough to fill them with the kids (I am pretty sure he will if they are good enough).

So if we assume Al-J, Mo and Ed are fixtures, then there is room for a combination of 4 more kids if that is what the wings want to do...if they keep Ed and Al-Jo together, I am not sure if any of the LHD (Wally and Bruium) will be ready/capable of playing with Mo, and there are 2 RHD in ASP and Tuo.

So to me, in the long term, they will try Al-Jo with Mo and ASP with Ed for the top 4, but more likely they will trade for or sign a LHD to play next to Mo.

The real dude I am waiting for is Brady Cleveland

Maybe AlJo likes, or doesn't mind playing on RD?

My pick-up hockey and beer league days being a righty on D - I preferred the left side

He once said in an interview that he preferred the right side

Erik Karlsson hasn't seen NHL playoffs for the last 6 season. I think he is part of the problem on his teams.

From last 6 seasons he is -91 at NHL.

Think he has fallen to those Gostisbehere-level guys, who should earn 3M. If some teams could double-retent his salary to those levels, then maybe.

When I first read this I was going to comment: this is a little harsh -- to Gostisbehere.

Then I looked up Ghosty-bear's stats and yikes, that plus/minus -- yep, this comparison is apt. I should have known not to question you, Henkka, you tend to be right about just about everything.

It's always possible, but i kind of doubt that we'll see such a defense.

In a more realisitc scenario, only one of ASP, Buium and Wallinder actually become NHL defenders and there's never a problem.

I suppose that's an argument for keeping all 3 since you don't know for sure wo will make it. Another way to look it is that you may aswell use them as trade bait before they fail. A combination with lack of space, as i see it atleast, and the high likelyhood that they don't become NHL defenders, make me more inclined to deal a guy like Wallinder for help on defense today.

We might have to dump a few guys at the deadline if we can to prepare for next season

Looks like danielson might turn Into kasper and turn things around in the 2nd half g.r Like Marco did

Pts in 6 last 7 ... 3g 3a

Lombardi since he's returned

Pts in 4 of 5 ... 3 g 2 a

Mazur pts in 7 of last 9

5 g 3 a

Yzermans got some work to do these months cause the kids are coming

Until the Edvinsson-AlJo pairing needs to be broken up I see no reason to make long term plans based on that.

LD1 - Seider
Edvinsson - AlJo
LD3-ASP

PP1: ASP & Seider
PP2: Edvinsson & 4th F

PK1: LD1 & Seider
PK2: Edvinsson & AlJo

Mins:

Seider - 24
Edvinsson - 24
LD1 - 20
AlJo - 18
ASP - 18
LD3 - 15
