I think a handful of the Americans from the Chinese KHL team are playing for the Chinese National Team. Without them i imagine they wouldn't be very competitive.

I honestly felt pleasantly surprised they were at 7 after both Seider and Raymond "graduated" from the list. Losing your two top prospects from your pool is going to thin any team out. Ned shows some promise in net as well so they have some young pieces around. The next couple drafts will be interesting to see who they can get in the first couple rounds and how ready they are for the NHL.

Wheeler at the Athletic has the Wings at 7th best prospect pool, the write ups are much longer here are some excerpts: 11. Jared McIssac 12. Antti Tuomisto 13. Shai Buium 14. Liam Dower Nilsson 15. Eemil Viro 16. Robert Mastrosimone 17. Red Savage 18. Alex Cotton 19. Pasquale Zito 20. Otto Kivenmaki

He's been out with a wrist injury

I don't mind Staal, I think if younger guys are knocking on the door they might let him go but I have a tough time predicting what Stevie is going to do

Leddy and DeKeyser are both free agents after this season, Oesterle has another season on his deal. Staal is also done after this season. McIsaac supposedly looks solid in Grand Rapids.

Bert goal: https://streamable.com/zlqc02 Gemel fight: https://streamable.com/droyoh Lemieux seems like a right rat like his father Danault's second of the game puts the Kings up https://streamable.com/x4kff1 I spy Oesterle getting left behind in the neutral zone by a simple pass leading to the odd man rush.... HE SUCKS

Second Kings goal, what the hell is Gagner doing? https://streamable.com/9sml2m Crazy tip by Kaliyev

Fabbri got in a fight: https://streamable.com/9u2o45 First Kings goal, sloppy rebound and Oesterle with some suspect coverage https://streamable.com/0gdv8n

The goal! https://streamable.com/a3qjr3 Zadina makes a nice backcheck to start the clip

I really hate being blacked out because of LA and Anaheim

Rasmussen from Zadina to make it 1-0, many Wings fans can't believe it

Looks like it is Verbeek's job

He's been in town the last few games or so I think, who knows! https://www.yardbarker.com/nhl/articles/red_wings_nick_leddy_ruled_out_through_all_star_break_with_upper_body_injury/s1_16955_37141727?utm_source=mb&utm_medium=email&mb_edition=20220202&mb_loc=right_h Leddy hasn't been looking fantastic to me

Friedman is saying that Verbeek is a finalist for the GM job in Anaheim. Seems like he's pretty good in the front office, if that happens I wonder if Lidstrom slides into a bit of his role or what happens.

Phillips has 4 goals in his last 3 games Cossa put up back to back shutouts Red Savage scored a couple goals when he went up against a few of the other Wings prospects at Denver. Savage is looking like a real nice pick in the fourth round right now

Zadina does seem a tad more confident in his play the last couple of games, hopefully he builds on it

Oh no Veleno... https://streamable.com/df0s45

Oesterle with an absolutely brutal giveaway that leads to a goal

Lindstrom had a big hit on Steel: https://streamable.com/7bqk12

On cue Zadina carries the puck through the neutral zone and passes to Larkin who takes it in and scores!

This seems pretty wide open to start out... I wonder if this is what the Ducks are trying to do in the neutral zone? Even old man Leddy is weaving his way through center ice.
