I'm fine with any of those three and it doesn't seem like Sunny is going to be ready to start the season anyways. Hell I would try to move Suter or just even send Veleno back to the AHL. If it were me I would figure out a way to get him in the lineup but that's just me. Cossa got sent to the Griffins today, interested to see how he does.

It looked like to me that Soderblom knocked the wind out of him at the very least, the defender tried to move towards Elmer before the backhand and he wasn't moving well at all. I've noticed a few times Elmer puts his entire body into checks on the forecheck and the defenders really feel it. I would be shocked if he doesn't make the team honestly, he excels in little areas that can help teams a lot it seems like.

I can't watch but Twitter provides the goods....I hope this kid makes the team

My guess is Larkin is gone only if he tells Detroit that he either doesn't want to be there or asks for crazy money....which both seem possible but with it not being wrapped up already my gut is saying he is gone in some way or the other after this season.

Random thought, I'm a little disappointed that Albert Johansson didn't get a longer look to make the team but it was a tall order to make the team for sure. He didn't force his way on at all but I wouldn't have minded him getting these looks Edvinsson is getting too.

I honestly wouldn't mind having Edvinsson work out the kinks and get his timing down in the NHL or at least try it out, but I also see the argument to start him in the AHL and have him just log heavy minutes. It is interesting to me that they're skating him on the would be third pairing, I would figure it would be top 4 or skating with the extras but maybe they're considering him making the club in a learn on the job role.

Lines in practice today, an exciting mix: Bertuzzi-Larkin-Raymond Perron-Copp-Vrana Erne-Rasmussen-Soderblom Kubalik-Veleno-Zadina Berggren-Suter-Smith Chiarot-Seider Maatta-Hronek Edvinsson-Lindstrom Oesterle-Kampfer Nedeljkovic/Husso

Rock me Amadeus

He still does some stuff that makes me smack my forehead but he's really turned himself into a solid all around player. Wearing the A in preseason was pretty cool for him too.

Game in a little over an hour should be on ESPN+

SaSavage just seems like a kid that is going to make the NHL team with some sort of role Wallinder has noticeably gotten WAY better on his gap control on defense, not surprising that his time on ice keeps climbing

Lucky but pretty: I would have been pissed if someone ran our goalie like that but.....love to see the enthusiasm! Heated game, Marco goes 80% on faceoffs with 7 shots on net. Playing really well at center in the SHL at not even 18.5 years old, pretty nuts.

Lineup tonight! Lines according to ansar at morning skate: Kubalik-Rasmussen-Zadina Spezia-Suter-Erne Soderblom-Czarnik-Andreasson Hirose-Worrad-Shine Chiarot-Hronek Edvinsson-Lindstrom Sebrango-Kampfer Husso and Brattstrom in goal. Some cut downs already too: The Detroit Red Wings today released forwards Ivan Ivan, Riley Piercey and Jake Uberti from their amateur tryouts.

I have no idea why I pluralized threads in the title, I'm so tired

Didn't seem like people minded a separate thread so here we are! Yesterday Buchelnikov played on SKA's second line in the KHL and scored his first goal:

I feel like Seider really spoiled Wings fans regarding other defense prospects. Edvinsson looks to me like a kid who is still processing the NHL speed and with the smaller ice surface. He's trying to make the Wings a year younger than Seider did. Did he make mistakes? Definitely. But he also showed really nice instincts in his own zone at times and has the toolbox to make the plays. I was loving what I was seeing even if it wasn't perfect. Some time in the AHL should do him wonders but I feel like expectations are way too high or people are being way too harsh on him.

I haven't been glued to the game with work going still, but it seems like Edvinsson is making some good plays out there. I've liked what I've seen from him and Elmer. edit: he had a giveaway in the neutral zone like right after I posted this of course, got it out of the zone at least...

I didn't realize Soderblom's brother was in net for the Hawks. 1-1, Soderblom put a nice shot on and Erne put in a rebound

It looks like the game tonight will be on ESPN+/Bally for locals

I'm guessing Petry was mad Berggren made him look foolish on that Elmer goal? Dumb play no matter what

LOL not sure why Kal is choosing to roast himself/post a selfie but hey it gets the people going I guess. This game was a good reminder to me to just try to enjoy hockey because I don't know anything haha. Detroit domination!

Guessing that was a goal that Cossa hasn't had many WHL players score on him, coming in at speed and putting it over his shoulder on the backhand. Hopefully he learns going down and relying on his height won't work in every situation, I think he looked pretty good otherwise.

Cossa coming in

4-1 Wings.... I am baffled! Rasmussen has two assists and was providing the screen on that last goal.... what the hell is going on?
