Red Wings current rise is based on players matured in Sweden

Damn, I forgot Berggren from the list.... and Veleno who did visit in Sweden during corona.

You can edit it, where is the problem?

Who did that?

Saying its either Hakans drafting or Kronwalls development for all these guys kinda implies its a Sweden thing no?

Umm. I also mentioned the North American developmental staff Horcoff and Cleary as helping guide the players who are in North America (Griffins, juniors and college) although perhaps I should have mentioned the coaching staffs at the Griffins and the Walleye as well for helping our European players acclimatize to the smaller ice and NA physical play.

Also our NA scouts deserve praise as well for finding promising prospects like Emmit Finnie in the 7th round and being given a contract by Detroit less than a year after being drafted because of his promising play.

No more than it’s a Canada thing when you give Al Murray some credit for Tampa’s success.

I've seen one other post from you in this thread and it was just an article copy and pasted that I didn't respond to. So unless youre Henkkas burner account, I was talking about Henkkas reason for starting this thread.

I actually have no clue why you quoted me now, are you actually Henkkas burner????

I am a big fan of Hakan's work just like Stevie Yzerman and Kris Draper so I posted those articles. I also like the work of our developmental staff particularly in Sweden. I don't think there are many NHL teams that communicate with our prospects so often like Kronwsll does. I do agree with you though that our European prospects benefit from their stay in the AHL.
