The Zetterberg Era
Ball Hockey Sucks
Not all that surprising, expansion usually brings with it a bump in scoring. Really only the late 90s and early 00s expansion didn't bring about some increase in scoring.

At next season, the overall scoring in NHL will regress.
History has proven, that high-scoring seasons are usually nearby these shortened seasons (lockouts/corona), the scoring goes up. Players have more time to rest and train at off-season/break. Everybody is in better shape and has more energy to push offence.
But when we go to regular schedules, having 82-game seasons again in-a-row, the scoring will go down. It doesn't necessarily go as low as in old days, but this current season will most proably be an exception.

Does Detroit sign any UFA's for Grand Rapids?
I'm thinking they could use some scoring.

Pretty sure Cossa will be splitting time in net for the Griffs. He's an 02 so would be eligible to play in the AHL next season.

Does AHL have a max import rule? If not i say just go with trying to bring over as many as possible. I remember when Grand Rapid was loaded with great young players years ago, it was funny to watch.

There's no sense in bringing everyone over at once. AHL is still a hard league so having an AHL team with mostly young guys on D could be a not so great idea. They need to bring in a couple vets, mainly a center.
Plus the SHL is a great league for development and our guys have made huge strides there.

Maybe Andreasson and Johansson will join the Griffins. Viro could also be option. Wallinder will stay at Rögle as well as Niederbach.
Edvinsson and Söderblom will take NHL jobs straight from the bat. They will never play in AHL.

Let's see what happens. It would not be out of the norm for either of them to start in AHL.
I kind of expect there to be one LHD spot on the Wings for Edvinsson/Johansson/McIsaac/Sebrango to compete for, and maybe just one top 9 winger spot for Berggren/Söderblom/Andreasson to compete for.

Is Soderblom really pushing for a spot out the gate? I think every time people see a big man that can skate decently, they get enamored with them. IMO he's at least splitting time in GR. I'd rather not stunt his development like we did Ras.
As for McIssac and Sebrango: I don't think either are even close to ready. They're meh AHLers at the moment.

The "Ras model" had him playing in the NHL in his D+2. This will be Soderblom's D+4 already. So we're well beyond that.
That being said, I'm fully waiting to see how he looks in camp and the preseason

What did come to my mind from this Ben Simon case...
... could it be possible, Yzerman is waiting 1 year to get Grönborg to Griffins? People knowing things in Switzerland were sure that there's no out-clause to NHL. So he'll stay there for year and which will give Simon this extra-year.

I think he's less NHL ready than the recent hype train has made it seem like, but at the same time there could be a role for Söderblom on a 3rd or 4th line without any PP, while Berggren/Andreasson probably need to be pushing for top 6 jobs and PP to cement a roster spot.
