Prospect Info: Wings Prospect Discussion

[Winger98]

Mazur referenced Ras as a guy he was following around this offseason to do everything right. I have been banging the same drum on weight gain for Ras so I found it interesting he was following around Ras at times as an example with that difference.

Ras’ frame certainly looks like it can handle more so not sure why he sticks at 220… I think it limits his net front game and is why they still don’t use him there on the PP. I remember Landon Ferraro basically said he couldn’t put on a ton of weight without impacting his skating so maybe that is something with Ras that I don’t get. He should live north of 235 for me. Don’t think we will see it at this point.

Maybe we need to see if Byfuglien wouldn't mind letting Ras tag along for a summer. With Mazur, if he ate what Ras ate, gaining weight should come naturally. I have to think that given his size, Ras consumes a lot of calories. It might be a comfort level thing. He eats what he knows he can eat, and works out how he knows to work out, and he has a hard time deviating from it because it has worked up to now.

Nothing I have heard about Rasmussen says he's a guy who doesn't put in the work. But I agree staying at 220 isn't a great thing. I akways thought he would pack on some more weight, too. And I think he could be a little slower if he was harder to push around. But it would also help him to just play a rougher game but I don't see that happening, either.

I think if you were giving him PP time at the net front this also would up the stakes. We seem unwilling to attempt that for whatever reason. They can push retrievals, but he does a good job scrambling pucks with his reach at 5 on 5.

Rasmussen is best when he's mad.

That's on the coach(whichever coach) to motivate him.

 

[Fil Larkmanthanasiou]

A beauty
He has scored half of Skelftea's goals this year. I know it's only 2 games but he was leading the eventual league champions in goals last year before heading off for the world juniors and missing time with an injury sustained there as well.

 

[dj Mahoney]

Looking for info on Albert Johansson. He is not Waiver exempt. how likely is it that he gets waived? and if not, does he have what it takes to crack the lineup consistently?

He looks solid didnt back down from Spellacy !!

ASP so far with assist today, been points per game

I like everything he shows in these clips.

Think if Motte could change this defensive balance between PK forwards. He could be the PK specialist with Copp, and then Ras could transfer a bit more towards offensive situations.

We have quite many guys to play PK.

Motte - Copp
Veleno - Fischer
------------------
Ras - Larkin/Compher (multi-usage guys)

Then another 8 to play on PP:

Ras, Larkin, Raymond, Kane, (Seider)
Bergg, Tara, Comph, Cat (Gustafsson)

I don't see any of Motte, Copp, Veleno or Fischer on the PP, but definitely could see Rasmussen.

 

[barriers]

2 assists yesterday give Buchelnikov 10 points in 11 games. Still unable to score himself though lately

I wonder if theres any chance with a big start that he could end up on Hockey Canadas radar. I kinda doubt it because they should be stacked this year, but he also seems like a guy who could play an energy role on a team like that

Plante... 2nd Line LW for Duluth in their season opener

Looks like he's on a line with his brother, pretty cool

Thanks for the footage! Now you guys are seeing why I was so stoked watching him in Plymouth. Of all the great players I've seen there I have not seen anyone that can dish like Plante. Trevor Zegras would probably be the closest.

Gotta ask. Are you guys still high on Danielson after his awful preseason?

[lilidk]

Gotta ask. Are you guys still high on Danielson after his awful preseason?

My opinion haven't changed on him he's not and he never was NHL ready but he does has higher potential then most our prospects. He needs spand extra year in Grand rapids

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

Gotta ask. Are you guys still high on Danielson after his awful preseason?

Yes and his preseason has not been awful.

 

[AlwaysSunnyInDetroit]

“Siri, remind me when Danielson finishes the GR season with 20 points”

you're even training siri to be a troll. impressive

 

[ricky0034]

Danielson will be fine but hopefully the like half of this forum that kept swearing up and down that he was more NHL ready than Kasper learned some sort of lesson
