Prospect Info: Wings Prospect Discussion, Part II

I guess I picked the wrong game to watch Buch play live. On the other hand, Demidov….wow.

Red Savage watch is officially on; done for the season at MSU. From a prospect standpoint I'll be mildly curious if they sign him. He does a lot of things well but nothing outstanding. It sucks for MSU because he is a very dependable performer for them.

Top Prospect by position:

Center - Karate Kid aka ND
Wing - MBN aka MBN
D'Man - ASP aka Pelli (reluctantly, as BC is going to shock and awe)
Goalie - Cosstine

He was very good at the WJC. Have to think he still carries that upside with him.

"At the end of the day, I respect what he was trying to do to continue to play, but he's going to be playing this game for a long time and needs to get healthier," Nightingale said. "He'll fly out and get some work done but we'll miss him for sure. He's still our captain and team leader and has done a great job in the two years he's been here to get us going in the right direction."​

From this article. Wonder what he was playing through. Big kudos to his coach for apparently making the call the kid needed to stop playing and get fixed up.

I’ll be surprised if Savage isn’t signed. Kid is a gamer and leader and has been around the organization quite a bit the past 2 years. Not sure he ever makes it to the NHL, but he should get his shot to develop in GR and potential future 4th liner.

Do you think he’ll ever get sent to Toledo

Reminds me of Glendening, a lot.

So where do you think we are going to end up this year on Scott Wheelers team prospects rankings? Weren’t we like 7th last year? I’m guessing we will be fourth. Buffalo is the latest team out and they are 11th.

we were 2nd last year to Buffalo. I'll say 5th, but I'm completely guessing.

Ok now that you say second it’s kinda coming back to me thanks

With Edvinsson and Kasper graduated likely, I imagine they fall a decent amount. They could be up any time now if they just did 11th

One has to think Danielson, ASP, Cossa, MBN, Mazur, Buch, Buium, Kiiskinen, and Lombardi all have good odds to get a chance by the end of the 26-27 season unless their development completely stagnates, especially the first 3. They are all already good pro players who seem to be progressing nicely. Things look good for Plante, Augustine, and Finnie as well but we have to see how their games translate to the pro level. It isn't realistic to expect all 12 of those guys to be NHL players, hitting on 6 out of the 12 would still be solid. At minimum the youth movement is very real. Danielson, ASP, and Cossa seem like near locks to be NHL players and the rest of them have decent odds to get at least get a cup of coffee in the NHL with the biggest question marks being the 3 guys who aren't playing pro hockey yet. Outside of the 1989 draft, this might really be the best prospect pool the Wings have ever had.
