We can all take a collective sigh of relief that Yzerman had enough common sense to keep all three of these kids in the lineup. He would have gotten the lynch mob otherwise. Nygaard in particular was a lock after training camp and the preseason games. ASP and Finnie also were simply too good to ignore and send back to GR. It really wasn’t that hard of a decision. The talent speaks for itself. This is a big moment for the rebuild which is now turning the corner. There’s no substitute for young legs. To quote Bob Hartley (former NHL coach of the Colorado Avalanche)… “Old players get older, young players get better”. It will be weird seeing Holl and Gustaufson in GR though.
Next players coming up to Detroit: Wallin, Danielson, Mazur, Cossa and hopefully Tuistomo. That’s at least four legit NHL prospects that can make the jump and make this team better (especially Wallin and Cossa).
Wings should trade Rasmussen. Soderblom is a better version of Rasmussen. We’ve got too many good young players that are ready to take jobs. Let the kids play. This team needs to get younger right now. This is their season. None of them will be a bust
Wings are starved for more talent on defense. Edvinsson has become exactly what the Wings were hoping for. There is NO doubt he’s their best defenseman after Seider. Problem is there is a huge gap after Seider, Edvinsson and Johannsson. All the rest of the D is just plain bad. Fingers crossed that Sandin-Pellika is ready for the jump to the NHL. It will be fun to see him play in GR along with Nygaard. Tuostomo and Wallin have NHL talent IMO… but are they good enough to take somebody’s job in Detroit right now ?? They at least deserve a call-up and will probably get one if there any injuries in Detroit. Would really like them take that next step and grab a spot in the lineup in Detroit.
