Forget Cossa!!! https://www.nhl.com/redwings/news/goalie-magnus-hellberg-signed-to-one-year-deal/c-332960696

I took away that the Sens have the better "core" right now since the Wings' guys (Larking - Bert - Vrana) are older than the Sens' generally and may not be at their peak when the Detroit prospects are ready. Larkin is probably the best overall player from both teams but the age part hurts him. The Wings have a better prospect pool when you take out Edvinsson and Sanderson for their evaluations though it doesn't seem like they're wowed by Detroit's top level talent. So it is a toss up of who has the "edge" you could say from my perspective. It seems like most of them would take Seider as a building block so that's pretty sweet. I am shocked everyone is rating Sanderson so high right now but he's been pretty good I guess. I am also shocked that at least one of these guys didn't panic on Cossa a bit with how up and down he's been.

I've honestly been putting off reading that piece because I was afraid what it was going to say about the state of the Wings' rebuild but I guess I'll be checking it out!

They still don't seem totally convinced either but hey what can you do haha. Interesting to see Wallstedt at 6, from what I understand he got hurt then the backup took the job from him?

It is nice to see Edvinsson get some love, the Athletic guys still don't seem to want to admit how legit of a prospect he is. Kinda weird that Craig doesn't include Soderblom in his top 50 but what can you do

That was a vicious play by Malkin, I happened to be watching the game with my parents and I couldn't believe he wasn't kicked out right there. I think Malkin even tried to slewfoot Borowiecki before this happened. Just a bunch of garbage plays in a row by Malkin who always seems to lose his temper and do dumb stuff.

Translated Hakan interview where he talks Pontus, Kronwall, and other prospects

Probably doesn't turn in to anything but it doesn't hurt to try!

Forgot about the game until I saw the notification that Gagner got a shorthander, wild!

No clue how good Ras can be with his skating where it is but I at least like that he seems to get pissed / also make the other team pissed at him a lot now. Now if only the Wings wouldn't always get beat up in these scenarios! I like to see his fire though.

Oh dang I see you with that pass Theo:

He is also providing plenty of serial killer vibes which I'm into

Well maybe I'm bad luck I have barely been paying attention with work. Nice to see Zadina score an authoritative goal and not just a tap in or something. It wasn't difficult because of the nice play by Vrana but hopefully seeing the puck go in like that boosts his confidence a bit.

Wings look like absolute crap, 2-0 with 5 minutes left in the first including a shorthander for the Bruins

Blashill was listed on a Canadian broadcast graphic with other coaches on the last year of the contract or an interim coach, so the rumor it was a one year deal or one year deal + club option must be true. It seems like a ton of teams are going to be searching for a coach this offseason.

Looks like the Bruins will start the rookie Swayman against the Wings on a back to back, I would like to congratulate him on his shutout.

Stutzle with the absolutely awful defensive play on Rasmussen's goal there lol Blashill would have benched him for two months if he dared poke and pray on the Wings, offensive skill be damned.

Walman seems like he's not any worse than the other bottom pair defensemen the Wings have tried this season, and he has some pluses. I've been pleasantly surprised with him....but maybe I just have a low bar at this point.

Forgot this game was a thing!

Sorry for multiple posts, was having issues getting more into the first one for some reason. SHL playoffs started and Elmer and Simon look good so far
