[Cyborg Yzerberg]

Johansson here for sure.

 

[Konnan511]

AlJo for me and then Veleno. After that, it's a crapshoot.

For me, these next two picks are clearly JV and AJ. After that I might as well pick a few names and start throwing darts. I think Buium, Neiderbach, and Viro, all have monster potential. I also love the tools Wallinder and Mastro have. Soderblom needs to show me a little more at the pro level, but he's a major sleeper pick for me. Imo, Soderbloms ceiling and floor are miles apart and hes a tough one to evaluate but could be both a big riser or faller. I'm not as high on McIssac or Tuomisto, but they still have time to prove themselves. I could see McIssac carving out a solid pro career, but at what capacity I have no idea.

Where is ho going to play next season?

Where is ho going to play next season?

GR according to this article:
Red Wings Re-Sign Jakub Vrana to a Three-year Extension

Apparently, kids who played more than 20 AHL games get to stay:

"Special circumstances need special rules, though, and Darren Dreger of TSN reports that the finishing touches are being put on an agreement that will allow junior eligible players who played 20 or more AHL games this season to return to the AHL in 2021-22. Perfetti, to stay with the same example, would not be required to go back to the OHL even though he is still just 19 years old."

From: AHL exemption coming for some CHL prospects​

Grand Rapids. The kid looks like he's got a shot at top 4 next season.

Grand Rapids. The kid looks like he's got a shot at top 4 next season.

By the end of last year he was playing top 4, so I would hope next year hes at least in that mix regularly. He had good chemistry with McIlrath though so this year could be different for him

Veleno #6, Johansson most likely #7

 

[odin1981]

I went with Veleno, I think he is NHL ready right now so his vet rfa makes him next in my eyes.

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

Johansson being Detroit's 7th best prospect is pretty crazy.

Johansson being Detroit's 7th best prospect is pretty crazy.

Not to mention the number of recent second rounders still there. Niederbach, Buium, Wallinder and Tuomisto are all recent second rounders with plenty of upside. Sure they're all projects that will take a while to make it, but any of them could become real difference makers and they're going to be our 8-11th best prospects.

Those are the guys that are on the 4+ year development plan.

You know, thinking about it, I wonder if that was by design. 2019, 2020 and 2021 2nd round picks are all in places that we can let them marinate for 4 or 5 years before we even consider bringing them to Grand Rapids. How much do you think it improves the odds of guys like Tuomisto and Soderblom making the NHL?

 

[Henkka]

If Veleno is our #6 , we are very deep

Centers are just unappreciated.

But he completes the prospect unit.

Berggren - Veleno - Raymond
Edvinsson - Seider
Cossa

All 5 of those guys is a terrific skater. That would be incredibly fun to watch. I'm hoping that we'll see something like that at training camp and the preseason this year. (Minus Edvinsson)

This poll seems to have run its course..

Time for #7 please and thank you
