Sadly I think we can stick a fork in Buium. His skating hasn’t improved and he’s been a healthy scratch for a bit in the ahl here.  Last game I watched him play he spent the entire game chasing the opposition in his own zone because his foot speed isn’t there. 
 

We should see Wallinder due to waiver eligibility next season, and he honestly has looked pretty solid lately.  He and Anton have the biggest chances on defense to make the club I think. Maybe if ASP can put on a ton of offseason muscle he is in the mix. 

you're probably right about buium, but maybe its still injury recovery related?  they were really high on him out of camp and then he got hurt and missed almost the whole season.

if wallinder isnt up next year he's probably back to sweden.

Good point that could definitely be bugging him still. It would be a big coup if he came to camp skating better next season.

New prospect report. Has Detroit ranked #4. Not a surprise that it emphasizes the strength of the goaltending pipeline. Maybe a bit surprising at this point that Cossa is ranked as Detroit’s top prospect with Postava coming in at 9 (and Augustine at 4). 

Also not a surprise to see Danielson and MBN at 2 and 3 but the write ups do not indicate a lot of upside.
