I picked Cossa (as a former goalie :cool: ) but I do struggle with creating any meaningful separation of the top 5, they all will most likely all be significant contributors at slightly differing time frames for the wings in the coming years.

Oddly, I suspect of the list, Kasper is the one from the group to be the first wings regular, I suspect by the end of next season at the latest, possibly out of camp depending on SY summer moves (or lack of).

Was torn between Kasper and Cossa because they both had really good seasons. Ended up giving a slight edge to Kasper for the sole reason that I think he's a little bit closer to making a contribution on the Wings, but I could have easily gone the other way.

I don’t hate offensive rhd. I also like ASP a lot but he’s still a project right now.

Ps you have cooties and your feet stank.
How is he a project? He’s one of the top scoring D-men in the SHL. Sure there are some things in his game he could work on, but he’s far and away from being a “project”.

Cossa has the ceiling of being one of the faces of a franchise, does Kasper?

Sebastian Cossa, again. He's a starting goalie in the AHL, the Griffins best player. The difference from last year is crazy, and I like his development a lot

Lots to work on in his own end. The scoring is great but ASP has to still clean up his defending.

(pssssst… they’re all projects)

I go Cossa here, but this thread spasm’d on my phone when I went to vote, so I actually voted for Soderblom ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I get it. They're all projects. Some are bigger projects than others. If ASP can't clean up his defensive game he'll have a hard time making Detroit as a lower pair guy that gets sheltered. If Kasper doesn't develop as well as expected he's taking Andrew Copp's job centering a shutdown line.

You also have cooties and stinky feet now.

Who's feet don't stink? That's the real question

You're saying Kasper has a higher floor, which I agree with, although I don't think the discrepancy in floor between the two is as large as you make it out to be :neener:

I keep my feet clean, but I'll never forget the guy in basic training who got some weird foot fungus and, come to find out, he had never washed his feet in his life. He said something about the how when he showers the soap from the rest of his body runs down and over his feet and that washes them. *gag*

lol, I don't get the hate you have for offensive RHD but I'm glad you are being true to yourself.
I don't hate offensive RHD, and totally respect what he did this season. I am just skeptical of all undersized offensive defensemen until I see them trying to defend in the defensive zone in North American pro hockey. No one wants to admit it, but size does still matter in this game.

I would have hoped by now that Yzerman and company would have ferreted out the prospects who are potential busts and traded them out for value. That's what I was hoping for at the trade deadline. The value on some of these prospects will never be higher then it is right now.. But who?
