This kid is going to be our secret weapon

Incredible hockey player. Hakan special

Long overdue for a hakan special. Hopefully a few more to come

I hope so. I'm honestly looking at that Soderblom stock and I'm still not sure if it's a Netflix or Blockbuster. Just too traumatized by previous flashes in the pan. I'm obviously not smart enough to project players so I'm just going to enjoy the run he's on now.

Meh. Depends on who it is. Ryan Hartman, Nick Cousins, Mathieu Joseph? Go for it.

Jamie Benn? Do it.

At practice today, according to Khan, Elmer was on a lined with Ras and Kane...Compher was practicing, but on 4th line, it should be interesting to see how things unfold, especially if that line clicks for another great game against the Bolts...

Damn, I just liked so much of Berggren with Elmer & Ras. But anyways, that's a deep Bottom6 to have:

Veleno - Compher - Berggren/Kane
Elmer - Ras - Kane/Berggren

I think Kane's IQ is a little too high for Elmer & Ras. He wants to make nifty back door plays, and have give and go's and that isn't really either of the other guys games. He could utilize one like if we wanted to try a Ras, DBC, Kane line I'd be ok with that. But two net diggers isn't really Kanes MO for successful lines. Berg's game is a little more straight forward and he has been shooting more with them which I think works well with that line. He also hustles back defensively better than Kane.

Big guy should try play center.

Any reason this thread ended in March? Looking at Red Wings' roster and other than him being drafted in 2019 and splitting his first three seasons between Detroit and Grand Rapids I still don't know much about him as a player.

Assume he receives a qualifying offer. What should be expected?

Bottom 6, 10-15 goals per season.

Definitely will get a contract. I could see him pushing 20ish goals on the 3rd line. Very intriguing player. Would like to try him on PK as his reach could cause major problems. Can’t be any worse than what we had this year on PK

 

[FissionFire]

Without dramatic improvement or PP time his currently upside is probably a 10g 4th liner at best. I don’t see him ever pushing 20g as he is now. He hasn’t had a 20 goal season since he was in Sweden 4 years ago. 10-20-30 is probably his stat line which for a good team is 4th line stuff.

 

[Dotter]

With the emergence of both Kapser and Soderblom, I think that makes Rasmussen expandable. Yzerman should use Ras as trade bait. Does he have any value?

 

[Henkka]

Currently, Söderblom has 9+10 = 19 points at 47 games as Red Wing.

That's 33-point pace at 82 games.

Expecting some development from him, he should easily be 15+20=35 points player after a full season. Maybe more. 20+25 should be expected in prime. Maybe more goal-heavy.

How many 20 goal seasons did Protas have before hitting 30 in the NHL this year? How about Thompson before he broke out?

Stats can be misleading for these types of players. If/when they put all the tools together the results can come quickly. Söderblom is unlikely to hit the Protas/Thompson level, but he showed signs this season of being on the verge of putting it together.

I love Ras's crazy-eyes.

Ras isn't really pulling his weight, to me. He seems to be not a bad bottom-6 guy with flashes of "YEAH!" I don't know if that keeps him on the team.

I am ready for Bloomers to become my new Ras-crush.
