DET is hoping Matt Lorito is their Connor Sheary. $575K/$300K in Year 1; $650K/$275K in Year 2.

This is interesting. Maybe not purely a Griffins move. Must be a quick skater.

Maybe we are trying to skate teams out of the arena? Nielsen is pretty quick too.

 

[OmNomNom]

he was a dynamo for us in albany but never got a chance to play. lookin forward to him hopefully being given a chance. he'll definitely help you guys in the A though.

“He’s obviously very skilled, very fast,†Sestito said. “I think he’s got a good offensive awareness, and I think we played pretty good in the D-zone, too. We didn’t spend a ton of time. He’s a guy who can skate with Sis, who’s probably one of the faster guys on the team, too.

That's Tim Sesito in an old article when he was down in Albany, talking about Lorito. So a skilled burner and waterbug type player.

Also found articles of Albany coach saying he is good defensively and he trusts him in all situations. Could be some interesting upside for nothing. Better than Miele, because his speed and defense atleast has some NHL upside.... and he doesn't necessarily have to be top 6. Super cheap too.

Given how quickly he signed, I think we were really high on him.

Championship.

I laughed.

Yep.

Miele signed with Philadelphia.


Lorito is a winger, and Miele leaving opens a TOP6 center spot for Svechnikov.

 

[waltdetroit]

3 players signed + 1 camp invite from the Ivy League

a trend for smarter players?

Guess these new signings could use a thread?

Honestly, great AHL signings. Don't know anything about EP

But, I don't even care at this point.

Not a fan of Pasquale. Gives Paterson some competition.

Street and Lorito are good depth.

Maybe Pasquale means the Wings are trading Howard for a defenseman and Coreau will be the back-up?

Please?

I don't even want to think about the trash defender Howard could possibly garner us.

Proably Pasquale is just brought to give Paterson competition, like you said. That's the Red Wings way. Any spot aren't given for free. They like to push people.

Free spots given is the Edmonton Oilers way (Chiarelli is finally changing), which won't lead anywhere, except to comfort zone and lazy attitude.

Would love that. But I think signing Pasquale means that

Tommy M is gone. And Paterson proably stays in the echl. Maybe better for him get more games started. Coreau should be the starter easy

 

[Oddbob]

What is the read on Coreau, does he have a shot at being a good backup at the NHL level, or is he an AHL starter type? I know he had a good season this year, but I thought he was floundering somewhat before then.

Backup. TZE could give you a great description. Anyone who watches the Griffins really

 

[FireBird71]

Coreau wouldn't be my first choice as a backup to Mrazek but if it means Howard is gone then I can deal

 

[jolly roger]

That makes Coreau the starter when Mrazek struggles with the KH defensive corps in place.
Good luck.

Holland will be gone by this time next year.

He's gonna get to finish the duration of his contract. Still got 2 more seasons.

The Ilitch's are not going to fire the GM before they enter a new arena. The hypothetical 26 year streak is what's going to put fans in the stands in their eyes. We just have to deal with a mediocre product for the next few years until Ken moves on and we get a real GM.

I think he is very high behind Mrazek on the future charts... canadian, but almost a Michigan Native (University connection). also would give us a goalie combo with two different kind of guys. A 6'5 monster and a reactive speedster.

A big and still athletic guy. Could actually see him evolving into maybe a starter at the NHL level but it won't be with us as I don't think his ceiling is better than Mrazek. But I would be pretty confident to have Coreau as the back-up here soon. Would like him to have a heavier workload this year in Grand Rapids though and keep him down.

Coreau was hurt and had a tough time bouncing back from the surgery to start his first year in Grand Rapids. However since he has ironed out what look to be physical issues once the Wings found them. He has been exceptionally steady in my opinion. He has NHL level talent in my opinion, curious to see the steps he takes this year in GR.
