If Nate and Kasper do well, with what we already have in Ed and Seider, and Cossa keeps it up...that's looking like a pretty good foundation for a team.
It's alright, Comparing the kids young is a little wild sure but Kaspers looking a lot like Greg Johnson(RIP) imo, and I've always compared Danielson's game to Vincent Trocheck. That's not bad middle guys, If Larkin can play at a high-level till, he's 38, I think you do have something working.

Like, it's still not real comparable to the Lighting with all they had, but it's for sure something to work with. Lighting were weird in that they hit on guys, but it wasn't always in the first round even.

I think it works as a reasonable core, but we will still be a work in progress. We will need to add more high-end skill on the wings for sure. I don't consider this bad because it is easier to find skilled wingers than skilled centers, but we do need to improve the overall skill level of the forward group.

FWIW I don't see the Trocheck comparison with Danielson. You are understating the impact of the size difference.

I can't wait until this kid knocks someone off the Wings roster. Total lack of effort by the vets. Copp/Compher/Joey/Fish/Tank.... I don't even care which one.

I'm at the point where I hope it happens this season, kids that score 1 point per game in the AHL usually get called up, and Nate has 5 in last 6. (Last game wasn't very good.)

DRW got a lot of centers, if danielson makes team next yr would like to see

DBC-Danielson-Kasper (Kasper n Danielson co-centering a la Datsyuk n Zetterberg)

Kasper would be the center in your scenario. Heck, I'd like to see that now.

I'm pretty sure Danielson is already better than Motte, who's playing on the top line.
