[Steve Yzerlland]

Is it safe to say he will eventually will be at least as good as Hronek once he makes the team?

Depends. If we're comparing ASP playing his first NHL games to be as good as Hronek was as a 2022-23 Red Wing, we might be a bit disappointed if we expect him to hit his stride that quick

Hronek was a very good offensive #4 in Detroit I'd say. After half a season of NHL play could ASP surpass that? Maybe. We'll have to see if he's immediately a Red Wing or if he cooks in Grand Rapids for some time in 2025-26 to make a judgement on that

I'd agree with this. ASP isn't a clearcut #1 in Skelleftea and I think a full season in Grand Rapids in 2025-26 would allow him to embrace that role so we can get a true gauge on where he's at.

Maatta and Petry playing last season with Red Wings. If he is like point per game coming season , 25-26 season he should be playing in NHL .
