Thunderbirds 2024-25

I keep hearing names thrown out as getting s shot with the big club. There is no one more deserving and it isn’t even close. He is the Thunderbirds MVP. Colten Ellis is a monster in goal. It is VERY rare that the T birds are not outshot. He has been by far their most consistent and best performer every game he is in. He is the most NHL ready player.

The second goal Robertsson made a nice steal and chip to start it and nice pass to Otto and Otto to McGing…but it was clearly offsides. Solid game versus a bigger faster team. Danielson is a stud. Have a right handed Finn defenseman I would like to have too Tuimisto? He's a good player. Really entertaining game. Not much room. Red wings have some talent.

I think at this point it is almost a certainty he will be a bottom 6 NHL player assuming he becomes one. No amount of further AHL time will change that. 22 is not young for a forward prospect. I think that there would be potentially more benefit from playing a checking line role in the NHL and adapting his game to that. If he is unplayable, you can send him back down. He has NHL tools and plays at a high pace.

I’d like to see him play well as an AHL 3C first before ever considering trying him as an NHL 3 or 4C…

I’m not ready to write off Dean yet but he just needs to play some games, hopefully produce and go from there. I don’t remotely see him as a legit call-up option at this time.
