Detroit Redwings Downfall

Why aren't they bringing ASP over right now? Guy is at least in same ball park as Hutson in Montreal. Not saying he is as good but close enough to help Detroit's 2\3 pair, PP and act as depth if 53\77 are injured.
Their powerplay is 2nd place in the league at 28.6% and much higher than that over the last 7 games.

I know, its like close to 50% last few games but they can use him on PP2 and he would provide depth in case Seider gets injured. ASP walks the blue line right now better than most NHL Dmen that get PP time.

You should spend less time trying to justify why they should pluck ASP out of the SHL mid-season and more time figuring out if they're even allowed to...

... Still waiting on that massive list of players who have left the SHL mid-season to join their NHL clubs,

"Pretty sure", I won't waste my time taking challenges from you.

No wait unlike you, absolutely sure.

So you can't come up with any examples, because it doesn't happen...

Next you should suggest we start pulling players out of college mid-season. Or better yet, pull players who haven't even been drafted yet!
 
Red Wings have been winning lately.

I actually pegged him for somebody desperate for some hope to save their sinking fantasy team. That may sound pretty silly, starting fights with Wings fans to keep fantasy hockey hopes alive. But hey, there are sillier things in this thread alone, never mind elsewhere on hfboards.

According to the NHL/SHL transfer agreement a player has to opt out of his current contract with a SHL club at the latest on the 15th of June or be released by the club to play in the NHL. Skelfteå would never do that voluntary, he's one of their most important players.
 
Wtf is going on here. Why are you so upset?

He's mad because he suggested the Wings call up ASP now, got told "Pretty sure you can't do that" and then took "Pretty sure" to mean you actually can, when it actually meant you can't.

... And now refuses to provide a list of the litany of players that have been plucked from the SHL mid-season, since you can apparently do this.

Don't let that get in the way of @KillerMillerTime fantasy.

Nevermind that he was told almost a page ago that this same thing happened to Seider during the COVID season. That Detroit was aware if they loaned him to the SHL, he would have to stay there until the season was over.

They CAN do it. ASP is listed as on loan to his SHL team. There is precedent; Nils Hoglander was taken from Rogle in 2020-21 mid season while signed and on loan.

I personally don't think they should do it. ASP is the #1 guy in Skelleftea and the top performing defender in the league. Let him cook. When Skelleftea is out of the playoffs then bring him over for a taste at the end of the season.

That was due to the Covid shortened season, the plan and arrangement with Rögle was always that he would play for Vancouver if he made it out of the training camp.
 
Surprised it took so long for someone to figure Debrincat plays his best with Kane.

I mean it not like there wasn't seasons of history to go by lol...

He’s played a ton with Debrincat under Lalonde and it went OK but since Todd took over those two are showing out. It’s definitely the coaching change. Can’t even describe how different this team looks under McLellan.

The only way he could go to the NHL at this point in the season is if he himself wants to leave his SHL team. And he don't. He wants to stay and try to win a second Swedish Championship.
