But it's basically the same team next season, with the same results, lol.
Yeah but the other option is to blow it up and we know that's not going to happen.
Johansson won't be back in grand Rapids. Pretty sure I read somewhere hed go back to sweden and I dont blame him.
Well bye.... weak character.
we need to move guys to play some kids and see what we have. Wallinder is still a question mark. Walman might end up pricing himself out if he continues to get stats and demands 7+ longterm. Maata chiarot etc... have 0 longterm future in Detroit and should be moved asap
Walman most likely prices himself out but that's not going to happen until 2026, by then Wallinder will be ready. Chiarot and Määttä has been acquired to play certain role in Detroit and AlJo isn't playing that role. Ghost is the man to beat, by the looks of it Johansson is no where near doing that.
Detroit is already the softest team in NHL, take Chiarot away and Wings manages to become even softer. Wings really cannot afford to send Seider and Ed to go after all the rats. And Chiarot been good this season, the hate is ridiculous. Määttä will be moved, to make room for Ed.
Think soderblom with his size cracks the lineup. Can see him being at least a 15-20 goal guy
He's not even in a 10-goal pace in AHL right now. He needs more work before we can even consider him in Fischer's role.
1 spot open for the kids next season? That's it? I dont know this team will only get good when the kids start getting inserted in and we need to do it gradually. We can't make kasper danielson mazur soderblom join the lineup in 2 years at the same time with barely any nhl experience and be shocked after that were a bottom 10 team
Technically 2, one spot goes to Ed.
This team will never get good if all the kids gets just "inserted" in the lineup, especially when they ain't ready. Perfect way to ruin a prospect, a la Edmonton, Buffalo.
That roster you put is basically the same one this year and were a mess. It would be the same story next season
Like i said only other option is to blow it up and that's not happening. Only mess is the goalies and defensive structure. First one will be fixed, second part is up to Fester. Wings has scored 3rd most goals in NHL, offence doesn't need much change and i believe Edvinsson brings a necessary change in defense.
Husso -> Gibson(hopefully)
Reimer -> Lyon
Määttä -> Ed
Perron -> Berggren/Mazur/Kasper/UFA
Kostin -> UFA
Only player changes we need, the rest is up to the coach.
