Prospect Info: Wings Prospect Discussion, Part II

SHL today: Skellefteå vs Örebro, 3-2. Finally a win. MBN is still on the 4th line, TOI 11:58, 3 SOG. But he's been very physical lately, 4 hits in this game including a huge one. He even dropped the gloves but the officials stopped it. I think this is a sign of frustration for him, wish he was on a better team.

Finally a win? Better team? They’ve won 4 out of their last 5, they are solidly in the playoffs, they have the 4th best offense in the SHL. Are we thinking of a different team?

I was thinking about their previous game, a bad 1-5 loss. And they currently hold the 7th of 8 playoff spots. Certainly not secured.

But my point, this is a bad team for MBN. I'd say they don't even know how to use him.

There’s 14 teams in the SHL, they are tied for 6th in points. 10 teams make the playoffs. 7-10 play each other for the 7th and 8th seeds in the quarterfinals.

I agree that MBN’s usage is far from ideal. He should’ve been in NA this year.

Detroits amateur scouting is absolutely putting in work. I criticized them back about 2021 because I didnt see the vision that I see now. They have drafted some amazing defenseman and they are really starting to hit on late round picks imo (at least with how these late rounders are projecting). Identifying kiiskinen and trading for him seems to be an absolute steal, just don’t look at what we did with the 2nd round pick we acquired lol.

Frankly the Walman bit makes the Kiiskenen trade even better IMO. They upgraded their prospect and dumped a player they didn't want. That's a win-win for Detroit.

Now you may not agree that Walman should have been dumped. That's okay. Apropos to nothing, Walman has 3 points and -6 in his last 12 games
