Glad to hear this. I'd be happy to see Joey V working with Glendening on faceoffs and against him in corner drills. Teach that boy some tenacity!

Neat. We have so many prospects competing for spots next year. Raymond, Berggren, Seider, Veleno. Not all of them will make the team, but I like that we're finally on the cusp of seeing the farm take over the roster.

You dirty dog!
Luke will likely be gone by the time Joe Cool clears quarantine, but I agree with your concept.

I'm 100% certain it's either an upper or lower body injury.
Might as well start the quarantine either way.
I'd like to see him get a few games in. At least we'll have something to watch.

Depends on who gets traded at the deadline and if Bert/Fabbri come back.
Given Veleno's slow adjustment to every promotion, it makes sense to ease him in. I'd rather give Veleno some ice time instead of Svech who isn't in the long term plans.
I’d guess it’s a move to bring him to Detroit based on the wording. If he was going to be assigned to Grand Rapids, I’d think they would have alluded to that.
This is the appropriate time to bring him to Detroit as well. Late in the season, deadline will have been passed, veterans for the purpose of expansion draft will have enough games under their belt.
Had the season gone off without a hitch and he started in Grand Rapids, this is the normal time I’d expect him to get a taste. The fact that he got pretty much the full season in Sweden, I think it’s probably also the right time. Get a taste, understand what you need to work on most, go into the off-season fired up and ready to work.

He officially goes on his 7 day quarantine tomorrow, So the earliest he can play is Monday the 19th, There is 11 games left and his contract know longer slides. Which means he can play all 11 games this should give us a feel if he's truly NHL ready or not.

Doubtful, The way Helene St James worded it, It sounded like it was 100% Detroit. Give him the last 11 games or so to see if he's NHL ready yet.

JV has historically taken much longer then the average player to adjust to higher levels of play, but once he has adjusted hes always excelled. JV is the kind of guy im willing to be a little more paitent with as he puts it all together, but I still expect to see flashes of awesomeness throughout the process.

His time at the WJC, two years ago, when he was centering the top line is where I got my excitement level up for him. It showed that he could play effectively with top-end talent. Was just a matter of, like you said, how fast it would take him to adjust to a new level of play. I'm hoping that between his starts, this year and next year, that he will get enough time to find his comfort zone.
