Prospect Info: Detroit Red Wings Prospect Tracker Part III

[Henkka]

He isn't going to carry anything in the NHL if he doesn't skate better. Dude is a worse skater than Joakim Andersson.

BTW, just checked that Andersson didn't play at all at this season in Sweden? What's his injury?

I think he had hip surgery or something similar.

Yeah I remember hearing hip surgery, nothing really since. Hopefully it isn't career ending, but Janmark and Andersson in terms of former Wings prospects/player have some pretty tough injuries right now.

Svechnikov had a monster night yesterday : 1G + 3A in a 5-1 win.

Bertuzzi also had a 1G+1A night after coming back from injury.

Really hope Tyler has a big playoffs.
Want to see him lock down a checking role with the big club next year. Should be spots available and his game it tailored for it.

I think he'll get some games next season but will definitely start in Grand Rapids. Didn't stay healthy this season but was much better offensively. Next season a top six every single day role is ideal to me IMO.

Same id love to see a Bert and holmstrom line that just dominates in the playoffs like the grind line

 

[ChadS]

Ehn -> GR

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

Hopefully they can get him to stay there next season. I imagine that's the kind of pitch they're going to give him. Play on a good team with a good coach, a lot of young talent, and a fellow Swede so you don't get too lonely. And some other Europeans of mixed types, so the culture isn't too unfamiliar.

 

[Vatican Roulette]

Ehn -> GR

Yes

 

[Henkka]

Liked Ehn a lot on the camp videos...

Total agreement

What's the deal with Saarijarvi? Hows his game. He's 5'9" and I just wonder if he can handle an NHL role ar some point.

 

[Mister Ed]

Tyler Bertuzzi's picture (here) was voted as the AHL's photo of the year, pretty cool!

 

[Boomhower]

Nice to see Saarajarvi staying healthy so far in the playoffs for Missisauga.

Made it through to the Eastern Conference finals and is currently 2nd among Defencemen in playoff scoring with 11 points in 12 games. (Behind Raddysh)

Now 4+8=12 points in 13 games for Saarijärvi and Missisauga leads the Final series 2-0.

I don't speak the language, but this article suggests that the Wings are in the running for Victor Ejdsell. Also Nashville and Chicago, I think?

http://nwt.se/sport/ishockey/2017/04/23/victor-ejdsell-nara-nhl-kontrakt

Victor Ejdsell's season has hardly escaped anyone. Most NHL clubs have shown interest, but he has chosen to only visit three.

....

Nashville Predators is one of the clubs that Ejdsell chose to visit. According to safe sources, Chicago Blackhawks and Detroit Red Wings are the other two. However, the main character chooses to neither confirm nor dementiate the data.

....

Nothing can be taken for granted but the trip ending on Wednesday will probably be done in an NHL contract.

- It feels so. I will make decisions when I get home.

Dementiate is a good word. I like that.

Kalamazoo 1 - Toledo 3 Final Game 7 in Toledo. Walleye goaltender Jake Paterson suffered high ankle sprain during game and will not return. Jeff Lerg is in goal for the Walleye.

Kyle Bonis (6th) scored for the Walleye & Charlie Vasaturo (2nd) scored for the K-Wings :52 apart late in the 2nd.

Evan Rankin (5th) & Zach Nastasiuk (3rd) scored :37 apart nearly midway in the 3rd period to seal the deal for the Walleye. Jeff Lerg made 13 saves in relief of Jake Paterson for the win.

Toledo plays the Fort Wayne Komets in the 2nd Round of the ECHL playoffs starting Fri (4/28) & Sat (4/29) in Toledo.

 

[FireBird71]

Saarijarvi and Sambrook each with a goal so far tonight

That was sweet.

 

[theD86]

That shot was nasty!!!

One thing I really like is, I think Hronek and Saarijarvi are the best puck handling D prospects we have had since probably Kronwall.

I think that is probably right. In this never ending quest for a number one defensemen, I think we need to continue to focus on puck skill.

Agree, also they are both very efficient and good skaters which has enabled them to log huge minutes at least at the OHL level.

Very excited to see how there two do next season. Expectations are high for sure.
