OT: Create a future roster (under 25's)

[Tatar Shots]

Wasn't that was also the Islanders trying to get into the lottery. Pick # 15 for pick # 14. May be Buf would move Grigorenko.

This is all just for fun. I know no team is going to make a deal like this.

I would be in favor of trading up for a high risk, high reward center. I feel like that is our best bet to find a true #1 center.

 

[19 for president]

It was NYI offering all of their picks including the #4 for the #2 from Columbus. Supposedly they really liked Yakupov.

Personally I'd rather keep the draft picks.

Yes that was the draft.

They wanted Ryan Murray.

They wanted Ryan Murray.

ryan murray is going to be a legit stud dman

not surprised the Isles wanted him

I'm not sure I'd do it as the #2 team. You're moving down 2 spots for pretty much just the #34 pick. The other picks are essential valueless when you're comparing them to a top 3 pick. That and there can be a huge difference between the players available at #2 & #4.

Just as an example would you trade Murray for Reinhart+Pokka+Pelech.

 

[YostisHome]

I'll shoot the boot if Nedomlel even sniffs the NHL.

 

[Frk It]

Jurco-Sheahan-Nyquist
Tatar-Jarnkrok-Mantha
Pulkkinen-Janmark-Nastasiuk
Athanasiou-Andersson-Ferraro

R.I.P.

 

[Shultzyfeelinirie25]

Lol allllll gone. We should do this again and visit in another 6 years and see if they're all gone again

My guess is that there will be like only 3 guys from Pre Yzerman draft of 2019 that will be on the roster 5-6 years from now. Nothing elite from 2015-2018. So, there really isn’t a point of doing this now as the bulk of their future roster hasn’t been drafted.

DDK is still here, get ready for the Cup.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

This thread is hilarious. And proof prospects usually let you down.

Going back to this initial post. 7 out of the top 9 is NHL-players...just none with the Red Wings anymore, Jurco is somewhat still in the mix, Frk as well. I still hate those Jarnkrok and Janmark trades.

Defensively it's terrible how bad they have struggled developing them.
Mrazek also a NHL-goalie.

 

[Ed Ned and Leddy]

Oof. Sobering reminder of the likelihood that guys taken in the 2nd/3rd rounds pan out. I like guys like Johansson a lot, but this is a good example of why you can't rely on prospects like that to fill out your roster.

Edit: I will have the last laugh, wearing my Brendan Smith jersey and watching Moritz Seider parade down Woodward with the Cup

 

[Reddwit]

At least a lot of these guys panned out. And guys like Seider, Berggren, and Raymond have thus far provided enough evidence to warrant putting them in the top tier of those guys at worst. Rasmussen and Zadina have shown more NHL progress at a younger age than those in the prior class too. I think our skilled players end up a little more productive and our seemingly underwhelming youngsters end up very complete all-around players.

Just seems like there are more dimensions to the players we’ve drafted in the past few years than we did previously.

P.S. If you want to see some bad drafting, look at what Montreal pulled out of the draft after their ridiculous steals in 2007. From 2008-2015, they arguably got the equivalent of like 1.5 good NHLers. No one from their 2008 draft class ever played an NHL game. It’s almost creepy. Like it didn’t happen. Like they paid some otherworldly spirit to give them 2 years worth of draft luck in one go.

That last happened to the Wings in 1968. When the draft was 2 rounds deep. And the Wings picked just 2 players.

 

[HisNoodliness]

It's sad looking back at these now that every single player is gone.

Okay how about the same exercise for 2024

Raymond-X- Zadina
Berggren- Larkin- Bert
Niederbach- Veleno- Vrana
Smith- Rasmussen- Grewe

X- Seider
Johansson- Hronek
Wallinder- Tuomisto

X
Petruzzeli

X = someone acquired via draft/trade/free agency

Considering DDK was the only right choice last time, I'll take my chances with Seider.

 

[MBH]

I don't know. That's pretty good group considering draft position.
Dang. Just replace Sheahan with Kuznetsov, and if you can still get Larkin, I like that forward group well enough.
The defense is bowwow.

Tatar-Kuznetsov Mantha
AA-Larkin-Nyquist
Pulkkinen-Jarnkrok-Janmark (Jurco)
Nestrasil-Glendending-Ferraro

Pretty soft on the wings

 

[RedHawkDown]

Wow that was embarrassing lmao

 

[ricky0034]

at this point the only player i'd really be surprised if they weren't here in 5 years or so is Seider, who at that point even in the worst case scenario barring some sort of catastrophic injury is probably something along the lines of a 25 year old higher end 2nd pairing guy that's good defensively and not a liability offensively

I guess Larkin would be mildly surprising too with the whole captain thing but I could still see it happening

the rest are a mix of potential that may not be realized and bad/meh/decent players

 

[Barry Amsterdam]

this is amazing haha

 

[Barry Amsterdam]

Raymond 2022Pick Zadina
Berggren Larkin Vrana

2021 pick Seider

Who knows


fabbri and bert will be gone by then

I don't expect many Holland draft picks to be on the roster when Detroit finally returns to the playoffs. Probably looking at around 4 or 5 guys only. Which is an indictment given that those players will be anywhere from as young as 24/25 to as old as 28 or so like Larkin when they finally get there. That is prime years for an NHL player.

 

[MBH]

If you're asking me who almost certainly will here or in the NHL in 5 years.

100 percent: Larkin. Hronek. Zadina. Seider. Raymond.
85 percent: Rasmussen.
80 percent: Veleno. Berggren.
50 percent: Johansson.
45 percent: Soderblom.
40 percent: Cholowski. Svechnikov.
35 percent: Lindstrom. Smith.

After that, it just feels like, who knows? I like Niederbach, but still. Wallinder? Nice tools, but could easily be a bust. Tuomisto? Mastrosimone? Let's see them in the AHL.
McIsaac would be up there with some injury luck.
