Prospect Info: Wings Prospect Discussion

[RabidBadger]

No, at some point he'll need to actually watch a game and stop boxscore watching for his troll takes. MBN looks better with each game. I'd argue he was one of their best players the last three games. He's going to break through soon enough.

Yeah, stats are not the be-all sign a player is coming along well. Kind of like with Dylan James: he doesn't put up sexy numbers but those of us who watch him know he impacts the game in different ways and may be a useful player (to the Wings) down the road.

you can’t complain about it 24/7.

So buchnelikov is really really good and outside of MBN, he’s easily our best prospect on the wing.

He is good, but not good enough for NHL yet. Have never seen Datsyuk in KHL but Buchelnikov has better numbers than Datsyuk.

Easily? What about the guy that had the 2nd most points for the Griffins last year?

 

[Winger98]

Buchelnikov really needs to add some muscle to his frame, imo. The highest I've seen him listed at is 170 and the pictures we had of him over the summer made him look small. Size isn't everything, but I can't imagine him being able to translate to the NHL at that weight.

I'm not saying I don't like the kid or his upside, just that I think he needs to get bigger.

cross hanas?

Seriously, I think Plante is going to be in the discussion, too.

I was looking at our past drafts and I didnt realize how bad our d pool suddenly is lol ... we have seider and edvinsson thank god and hope pelikka is great

After that its question Mark's... better hope wallinder makes it but he needs a bigger role this season and a look in the NHL. After that buium is next best bet

After whipple?Cleveland? Viro's a goner tuomisto at best is a 6-8 guy ... we should be trying to get lucky and target someone before a breakout like wild did with faber. Even someone up front

Cozens is struggling but I doubt sabres move him. Quinn? I liked peterka to get seider a german buddy and we took wallinder. He'd look great in a wings uniform... anyways hes not moving

Zegras 2 assists in 9 games I think...yzerman probably wouldnt make a move but he wont come so high as hes struggling and I like his upside

I'd have to check the d's ... I was listening to a French podcast and the guy said out of the top 100 scorers something like 7-10% of the guys played like 1or 2 years in the ahl. Basically anyone who plays more than 2 yrs and is like 22+ likely never becomes impactful nhl guy

Basically our Hope's all on nygard and buchelnikov lmao ... I'd be burying lombardi in ice time to see if he can explode this season cause outside of him its meh. Danielson unless he turns it around asap and collects pts will prob be a 3c. We might need to target someone elsewhere and hope they break out here. And not a 3-4 teams already failed perlini type


Anyways rant over lol

I would put him in a group with Lombardi, Plante, and NDN.

MBN should be a tier above those guys, hopefully we start seeing that.

If ASP and Edvinsson turn out to be what we hope for, we really only need 1 or 2 of our prospects to become decent bottom 6 guys. Take the guys you mentioned and AlJo and I think we hit that threshold. The depth can had via FA or trade.

Mazur.

yeah, I'd like to see him be a bit heavier, too.

Dont know if there's any high end d men this draft in the top 15 but with if we dont take 1 I suspect we'll take 2 or 3 with our 2nd and 3rd rounders . Couldn't hurt to find a yound dman elsewhere as well


I just posted nick hague as a defense I'd target from vegas. They wont be able to sign him. He's 26 like 6'6 250 pds

Seider pelikka edvinsson hague johansson

Wallinder buium + free agency ... we need seider to get going offensively and I'd say we'd be set on defense and outside pelikka and Johansson our dmen would be huge bodies

You have 3 guys that will be under 25 pencilled in to the roster. Then there’s Johansson already on the team and a handful of more “maybe’s”. If you’re expecting to have 5-6 more current prospects be Detroit red wings, you’re gonna have a bad time
