With the way we're handling Mrazek, and Holland's recent proclamation that he wants to see playoff games at LCA this season, I think we could very well be looking at trading this pick outright for a roster player.

That roster player better be someone like Trouba, sadly I feel like Mrazek could have been used in such deal given Winnipeg's needs in net, good one Kenny

Nah, nobody that good. I was thinking of someone that would essentially be an expedited version of the player they might get at #9, like Matt Dumba.

He also said earlier, that with that 9th overall he's going after a player, which could be in NHL in 2 years.
That hint points on 100% sure towards a forward (Necas, Pettersson etc.).
Usually Holland is talking about defencemen as 5-year projects.

Lets talk about Michael Rasmussen, who could potentially go in the top 10 Friday, and know some teams consider him a top 5 prospect 1/

Most public discourse about Rasmussen has focused on even-strength production. There's no hiding the ball here it's bad. 15 pts in 50 GP. 2/

As many longtime readers know, I'm not afraid to call a tree a tree i.e. clear overrating on size. It's an obvious problem in industry. 3/

That being said I do not see that issue to large degree with Rasmussen. I see a big man with skill. He makes plays whenever I've watched. 4/

I don't endorse him in the high range on Friday. I have him ranked 19th & #'s worry me. But I reject notion he has no scoring upside.

So far for the Wings in my mock draft I've drafted:
9: Elias Pettersson
38: Filip Chytil
71: Luke Martin
79: Dmitri Samorukov
83: Alexandre Texier
88: Maxim Zhukov
I'm pretty happy with this haul

Nice. I am not wild about Martin, but I like the others, especially Chytil and Zhukov

Martin's not bad for that pick. Good skating stay at home dman with a good shot.
Size as well.
Agreed. If you're taking Rasmussen at #9, I think you're passing on talents that are really close to being objectively better than Rasmussen.
You can have him. Not enough skill with the puck for me, at least not at that point in the draft. I agree though that he can skate.
What about drafting 18-year-olds is objective? Projecting what an 18-year-old player will look like four or five years down the road is about as subjective of a task as you will ever find.
For the record I do not want Rasmussen

Well at that point he'd be a 3rd rounder. His puck skills might not be great, but at that skill level with that size...great pick in the 3rd.

And he's going to michiggaaannnn! So I like him. But yeah he's definitely a defensive defenseman

I wouldnt mind wings picking anyone of Norris, Thomas, Lind or Marcus Davidsson in the 2nd or later. Would love it actually, though there's almost no chance Robert Thomas drops but hey...

A scenario where Holland drafts Oettinger with a pick he gets from sending Tatar / Nyquist away (the rumoured move) would be a pretty bold move and would make the Mrazek exposure make a little bit more sense.
I feel that Howard - Coreau will be the tandem next year, with Mrazek being picked by Vegas and being traded again for more picks. Am I OK with it, maybe not, but that's what I see happening.
