I had zero idea, yikes!

I'm all for it! It is going to be nice to watch a NHL roster.

https://www.nhl.com/redwings/news/red-wings-sign-robert-hagg-to-one-year-contract/c-335086576 Guessing AHL depth? Or they don't think Edvinsson is ready for the NHL at least to start the season? Wallman won't be back for a while maybe? More depth either way. Video from Amadeus Lombardi's second 3 on 3 game that I didn't see, has some nice hands:

Uwe Krupp is an asshole for getting injured dogsleeding and lying about it, effectively stealing money from the Wings for nothing. Odd example unless I'm not remembering other stuff haha. I also dislike Tkachuk but would want him on my team even if he is an asshole/a bit of a baby. Wings need good hockey players and at this point if a guy isn't committing crimes I'm on board. He apparently turned down $11 million per year plus the captain's C from Calgary so I honestly think he's just forcing his way to St. Louis at this point.

I'm not sure Tkachuk would even want to play in Detroit myself... everything I see links him to teams more competitive than the Wings.

Guessing he didn't have the market he thought he'd have, now they're waiting for the dust to settle to figure out what's the best move for them moving forward. Plus there are rumors that teams are trying to move salary cap for Kadri, so that type of stuff could be at play with Klingberg too maybe?

If they somehow get Klingberg I wonder if they move Hronek, he is basically the wish.com version of Klingberg.

....wow. Yzerman must have some plan to ship people off if he has another big signing up his sleeve? Wallman isn't going to be ready to start the year because of surgery but even still...

Edvinsson said in an interview yesterday that he is 6'6'' now 😳

I thought Cossa looked okay at best in the first game (played the first two periods). He made a couple nice saves but also one goal by Ethan Phillips was a long range shot that beat him cleanly on the glove side. He looks like a kid still getting used to his body and not comfortable with everything yet. I thought his movement was choppy/awkward on the Phillips goal and his glove hand was awfully positioned. But it is also a 3 on 3 tournament where he saw a lot of breakaways/odd man rushes so a different beast. Game 2 is great to watch so far, Edvinsson on one side and Kasper on the other. Edvinsson looks good for showing up this morning from Sweden and apparently wearing borrowed gear (he does look tired as hell though). Kasper looks really good. Amadeus Lombardi has some skill and Viro looks nice on defense. It is nice seeing Mazur and Wallinder too.

The 3 on 3 tournament from development camp if anyone is interested:

I haven't been watching the Development Camp 3 on 3 scrimmages going on youtube right now but apparently Amadeus Lombardi looks really good which is intriguing.

I am excited for this roster to be an actual NHL roster, depth depth depth!

I am skeptical of JFresh's model overall but I found this interesting from someone on reddit using his stuff. We were at 82 points in his model before free agency I believe, exactly where they ended last season. Edit: just saw he adjusted something and they're at 94 points projected now

This roster got a huge overhaul today, addressed some real areas of need. I'm really interested to see how this roster plays out next season.

I honestly didn't see all these signings coming haha

4 years, $4.75 per for Chiarot, I hate it!

Apparently close to signing Perron??

Well they certainly needed a defensiveminded d-man

Apparently the Wings are signing Ben Chiarot too??? Not a fan...

Love the Copp move

Some good videos specifically on certain parts of Kasper's game:

Blashill definitely was wrong for the Wings' rebuild I would say (I don't think he ever really adapted his systems much to the players or the situations) but I don't think he's a bad coach. He's been successful at every other level, I wouldn't be shocked if he's a great assistant in Tampa. He is also best friends with Cooper so that'll help you get a job! I wouldn't be shocked if he got a chance as a head coach in a few years.

Indeed! I always find him fascinating to watch move around on the ice. Wings' development camp stream is starting now 7/11 @ 1 pm:
