Prospect Info: Grand Rapids Griffins, 2024 - 2025 Season

[izlez]

Great to hear

Good to hear some more news. Was getting very frustrated. He started practicing like 3 weeks ago at this point and still can’t get in a game??

I feel like I say it every few months, but Based on Buium’s size and numbers, he needs to be getting a lot more attention as a prospect

I agree .. Just this amateur scouts opinion, but I think he's surpassed Wallinder. Just looks more composed and confident out there.

Buium has always been ahead of Wallinder, people are just now realizing it

I caught most of this game, there were small parts I missed including the final 5 mins. Griffins didn't shit the bed this time. Good game and win


Danielson: A-
• Lots of chance generation, whether that be him shooting or setting up linemates. I want more of the speed and shooting, yes more. I want more balls to the wall. I can feel him game by gaming piecing things together offensively. Hoping for a big 2nd half from him, especially when Mazur and Lombardi come back


Cossa: A
• Wish he had the first save, might've been screened by Tuomisto going across the net. Good game in net once again, he doesn't get rattled easily which is huge for a young goalie


Soderblom: B+
• ENG but he's got 9 points in his last 10. Playing with swagger shift to shift. Sometimes I forget how strong a dude with his size can be when we watch Ras play lol


Wallinder: C-
• Bad giveaway trying to clear the zone that led to the first goal against. He's just not good at moving the puck. He's better off just skating with it and going for a rush. However, that's not going to fly in the NHL, especially when he's gets eaten alive along the boards in the AHL as he does already


Buium: A-
• More joining the rush and he's clearly getting it at this level. Seeing development in all areas of his game and that's a big thanks to his excellent poise. He's getting targeted for some big hits from forecheckers and have shook him up. Think that's the 3rd time in as many games. Hoping he can adjust a bit to evade those potential injury moments


Becher: B-
• Good quiet play again today. Not too much to note except stick handling through a player pretty swiftly on his break out

Why do you never talk about tuomisto in your reviews? The wings org by all accounts actually like him as a player.

I personally don't find him to be a noteworthy NHL prospect at this point. He's a good AHL defenseman that may get a cup of coffee here or elsewhere

To me, his game doesn't jump out at all but the biggest factor is that he's not a brilliant skater. If he could skate like Edvinsson, I'd be more intrigued

You may not but the red wings organization does. Just something to think about.
