Caufield with the Hat Trick... Turcotte with his 1st point of the Night (Secondary Assist)

I started watching Canada-Finland to watch Cozens and Lundell, but Krebs is the guy who's impressing me the most.

If the Wings took him at #6, I wouldn't even blink. He's worth it.

I actually like Boldy... just wouldn't take him at 6. Will be very interested to see where Caufield ends up getting picked.

PPG for Turcotte

How have Broberg and Soderstrom looked? I am curious to see how they matched up against the Hughes line.

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

Canada wins 5-3. Big games from Krebs, Rees, Tracey. Cozens was good but not great, as his line didn't have a lot of chemistry going. Didn't love what I saw from Suzuki, Harley, and Newhook at times.

Anton Lundell is so good already. It's really impressive.

Is anyone even considering trading back and get a pick and take Caufield despite his size? All I keep hearing is how the kid will continue to score big no matter what league he’s in ,I’d Just laugh it off and be like no thanks to his size but debrincat just hit the 40 goal mark last season so can this kid realistically get 30-40 in the nhl?

Rasmussen veleno Caufield line ?

I know we won’t take him but I’m just thinking of every scenario now

Ummm Or future possibly with Caufield

Bertuzzi Larkin mantha
Berggren veleno zadina
Hirose Rasmussen Caufield
Smith Pearson ehn

Trade AA for fabbro , Svechnikov for picks+

Fabbro hronek
Cholowski mcisaac
Lindstrom ?

Larsson

Anyways yup I’m looking forward to the day we won’t sphave to see nielsen,helm,abdelkader,ericsson on our lineup anymore

I like Lundell more than Kakko , maybe because he is center , I don't know. If we draft Krebs I will be very happy, he is complete package, love his play behind the net

Hoping for Lundell next year. Already got his RC.

Don’t even consider Caufield an option. It’s easier that way. If they want a true goal scorer, they’d try to find a balanced trade with Anaheim for 9+STL/SJ first for 6 and whatever is needed and go after Boldy if you’re looking for scoring winger talent.

I don’t think those guys will give us another 1st to move up 3 spots, I’d personally do it for a 32-45 pick added on though depending who were targeting with our first

I never had an eye on Caufield due to his size but the way ppl talk about him he seems like a sure thing to score goals and after seeing debrincat getting 40 I’m thinking he wouldn’t so such a horrible pick as I thought , but as of now I’m picking 6 depends who’s there

I liked Boldy as well and then I saw some articles saying he’d be a nice 3rd liner so I’m not so sure anymore on him, all this stuff being said I don’t think we’ll take either guy in the end

I dunno to what degree the Wings need a pure goalscorer. My take is they need someone to complement the ones they already have: Mantha, AA, Zadina, Rasmussen, Bertuzzi, etc. Larkin is maybe the best playmaker on the team, and even he likes to shoot a lot. Which is not to mention the options from the blue line: Green, Hronek, Cholowski are all very good PP triggermen. There are a lot of scorers just waiting for the right setup man.

And I guess that doesn't even really count the "heavy" guys you bounce pucks in off of.

Caufield isn’t even the first small winger I’d take... I’d take Bobby Brink over him.

They really don’t, which is why I’ve been looking at players like Zegras and Dach closely. I think Dach has distanced himself from the former, but we definitely need to find an elite set up man.

I have this dilemma, because Dach is the player I think the Wings need, strategically. A big, skilled playmaking center would be a great addition. But when I watch him play, I just don't always come away impressed.

But on the other hand, I really want Cozens, and Cozens is not exactly what I think the Wings need. I just generally find him valuable, and I've been very impressed with him at times when I've seen him play. Although not so much today. Hmm.

Maybe I should just give myself over to the Krebs bandwagon. I mean, he *is* a playmaker...

Yeah... IMO Dach and Byram fill our biggest needs the best, so I’m thinking 1 of those 2 will be our pick.

Both can create for themselves, both excel at creating for their teammates. Both fill position of needs. Dach gives you a right handed forward to plop on the halfboards of the powerplay that I know you’d love to add to the fold. Kind of setting up the inverse of Washington’s top unit.

Dach the right handed role of Backstrom, Mantha or Zadina as the left handed role of Ovechkin, Larkin playing as the left handed role of Oshie.

Love Dach’s skill set and what he brings. IMO Dach and Byram are the two best prospects for us. The only thing that holds me back from being all in on dach is his speed. IDK how it really would fit in on the wings. I know he has a powerful stride and love how he can slow the game down which none of our players currently do well. But if he has to play with a guy like AA who absolutely burns through the neutral zone, how is that going to work?? I was really hoping to see him play at these games to see how fast he can play when he needs to.

So despite common sense, Mantha goes back to fighting, and knocks out some hotshot rookie in the 2022 playoffs?

Well we could always put Witter on the Ovi spot

I was really hoping to see him play at these games to see how fast he can play when he needs to.

So my response to that concern would be: he’s bumping AA to the wing again. Ultimately it would be Dach’s mind for the game and the vision and patience to spring AA on breakouts. Hit him on the tape in stride. They actually complement each other beautiful because AA should be getting more dangerous opportunities without the concerns of blowing the zone, and Dach would have a very strong offensive winger to finish the chances he generates. Less worried about foot speed, more worried about playstyle fit.
