I think you’d be better off splitting them up so that you have one of the two on the ice for like 90% of a game.

Weird, I thought he signed already. He should be a stud in the future. Wings fans have a lot to look forward to.
Stevei Y is building quite a team in Detroit. Cossa is a gamer too. All they really need is another top prospect forward and some veterans with some grit and they should be contending in a few years again

I still think with Edvinsson's game, frame, and the way his head works that he's going to spend a good amount of time in the AHL next year. I wouldn't pencil him in for a full-time top-4 gig until 2023-2024.

Even if Edvinsson had the same impact Seider has had, it’s still those two, Hronek, and then trash.
Gettin there, but next year is still gonna be rough.
Really just Seider & Edvinsson as, sad to say, Hronek hasn't improved much defensively.

He hasn’t, but as his role reduces he may be more equipped to handle it.

And with the year Wallinder just had, holy crap are they loaded with high end D prospects.

I don’t expect him to have the same impact that Seider has. He will be more like any typical rookie D with lots of lumps and mistakes. It’s best to temper expectations with him, it’ll probably take a couple years to fully polish his game.
Damn Detroit is gonna be really fun in the next few years (hopefully).

Smooth, incredible skater for a guy his size. The best parts of his game are in transition, he can very quickly "solve" forechecking pressure and find outlet passes as well as skating the puck himself when necessary.
Compared to Seider he is more of a puck-rushing d-man who will activate off the blueline and attack the net or circle around the o-zone. He plays a riskier style that arguably has more upside but can also lead to getting out of position or losing the puck in dangerous areas.
Edvinsson's style, skinny frame and lack of refinement in some areas (weak shot, not much PP experience) leads me to believe his impact won't be as high as Seider right away.
That channel is phenomenal they deserve way more views than some of these other low effort/low knowledge hockey channels.
