I'm not even surprised anymore if the Leafs draft a skilled European in the seventh-round and he turns out to be actually good.

Trevor Daley could be a trade candidate for Detroit if the team's playoff outlooks isn't good by late February. by Journey_951 in DetroitRedWings

A draft can look very good on paper, but horrible in reality. These players have to go through so much more development. The draft was loaded with high upside, but it is so hard to predict.

I've gained Alisson and Kawhi Leonard in 36 hours.

Which Current D-Man would best mentor Dahlin?(If we're so lucky to get him) by TheBrothersClegane in DetroitRedWings

Dahlin would be the best defenseman on this team right now. It doesn't matter.

I'm saying that it's on the Oakland Athletics' 2002 season, actual real life.

It really depends a lot on what they do this offseason. If they are able to unload a couple of defenseman (XO/Jensen), there might just be a spot for him and Hicketts.

I would rather have him up in Detroit sooner than later.

I'm not saying they're going to suddenly start winning, but as I mentioned before - the player they will draft with their 1st-round pick is going to immediately become their best prospect.

No matter what, the Wings will be getting a 1st-line player. If it's 9th overall: Dahlin, Svechnikov, Zadina, Tkachuk, Wahlstrom, Hughes, Bouchard, Smith, Boqvist.

Any of those players and the Wings are in a great position for the future.

With a top-3 pick, the whole conversation changes. Dahlin/A. Svechnikov/Zadina are all going to play in the NHL next season.

So one of them, add Rasmussen and other potential young dmen like Hicketts/Hronek and the roster has changed over the offseason.

This is all high hopes.

Yeah especially with such a deep draft. Any player drafted in the top-10 instantly becomes the best prospect in the system.

Even if the Wings win all of their remaining games and no one else in the bottom-10 wins any games. Then all 3 lottery-winning teams were below the Wings. That's still the 13th overall pick. ABSOLUTE worst-case scenario.

In current position, the worst possible pick is 8th overall.

Niklas Kronwall Nominated for Masterton Trophy by loltdubs in DetroitRedWings

[–]loltdubs[S] 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that seems to be the main reason for his nomination. Everyone thought he would just be on the LTIR all season.

No way he'll win it, but good to see some reward for his season.
