Prospect Info: Wings Prospect Discussion

Mazur. Don't get hurt.

That is all.

 

[RabidBadger]

man that's such an ugly World Championship roster for team USA

there's like 2 decent NHLer's and even they are far from stars, Bonino who used to be a decent non-star half a decade ago and some prospects

It doesn't matter. Regardless of the roster, the U.S. will play well in the prelim games and give us hope, then implode in the elimination round. Year in, year out.

 

[Reddwit]

Anyone see any of Doucet’s playoff games? Just stat watching but he has 10 goals and 21 points in 13 games. Think a couple of the goals are shorties. He should bring some skill to the Griffins.

 

[BrettMB]

Death, taxes, wings lottery loss.

True, but where's the "dislike" button?

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

No shit. 4 of our top 5 prospects have all been hurt this year.

Edvinsson with shoulder surgery that may have happened in Grand Rapids.
Kasper with a busted knee cap in his NHL debut.
Soderblom with a...whatever. He barely played in Grand Rapids with a mystery injury
Wallinder got injured as soon as he went over to Grand Rapids and we don't know what it is.

Maybe we need a new athletic training staff in Grand Rapids. That is ridiculous.

Ed's wasn't an injury. Apparently something about the structure of his shoulder that the team doctors identified as likely giving him issues in the future. So they fixed it.

There were several games lost due to injury in Grand Rapids, though they never outright said it was his shoulder.

Because it never was.



Two of his absences were illness related.

 

[Coach Reggie Dunlop]

In relation to kasper his knee injury happened during the SHL, Detroit’s staff actually discovered it after his first game. So if anything the medical staff is doing a good job of discovering things other places aren’t. The soderblom injury was very very weird though…literally haven’t heard anything about him in a long time and it bothers me.

On top of being a mid coach, Simon’s hysterics with injury information was really really annoying

 

[barriers]

Sounds like Buch could be loaned to a lower KHL team next season like Michkov was last season

Good. Would love to see him get an actual KHL opportunity.

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

He needs to be loaned out to Grand Rapids,

This kid is going to be a generational Riccis per 60 player. His ugly factor has to exceed Malkin levels.

 

[lilidk]

He is probably not KHL ready, kid needs to get stronger a lot stronger

We need to sharpen up your definition of mid.

9. Detroit Red Wings: Nate Danielson, C, Brandon Wheat Kings​

My ranking: No. 20

The Red Wings are notoriously tight-lipped about these things, but on a hunch I think they take a centre with their first of two picks in the first round. And Danielson, with his well-rounded game, tools across the board, and pro size and skating, just strikes me as their type. He’s a safe bet to be a solid 2/3C who could play behind Dylan Larkin, plus he’s on the older side of this group and would fit with the Red Wings’ timeline as they try to exit out of their rebuild and round a corner toward playoff contention sooner rather than later. If it’s not Danielson, and my hunch about them targeting a centre is right, the other names to know are Oliver Moore, Dalibor Dvorsky and maybe even Brayden Yager. Moore, the best skater in the draft, would appear a natural complement behind Larkin, one of the best skaters in the NHL, but the Red Wings seldom go to the NTDP well. And Dvorsky comes with questions about his pace and whether he’ll stick at centre, and was, until a standout showing at U18 worlds, believed to no longer be a top-10 pick by all those I spoke to. I still think both of those players could be targets for the Red Wings, but I just kept coming back to Danielson as the most natural fit for the type of player they covet.

Wheeler's first draft prediction.

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

Wheeler's first draft prediction.

I wouldn't be mad. If the Wings think he's the guy, then sure. He fits the profile.

 

[DoMakc]

Wheeler's first draft prediction.

Wheeler is working like a broken clock:

- Who did Red Wings pick last year? Kasper
- Checking own notes: Defensively resposible forward with questionable production.
- Who is defensively resposible forward with questionable production?
- ???
- With 9th pick Red Wings select Danielson

 

[norrisnick]

I'd be kind of annoyed with that scouting report at #17 let alone #9...

 

[Reddwit]

If I’m swinging for a forward with question marks at #9, it’s not Danielson, it’s Wood.

 

[norrisnick]

If I’m swinging for a forward with question marks at #9, it’s not Danielson, it’s Wood.

Agreed, but with any luck there should be a forward without questions left at 9.

 

[Rzombo4 prez]

Agreed, but with any luck there should be a forward without questions left at 9.

Huh? They all have question marks, which is why they would still be available at 9.....
