Svech is a first round pick. And I worry that sending him back to GR, where he struggled last time around, might be a death sentence for his Red Wings career.
I'd like to help him avoid that.

Svech was ready to play for GR last season, but he suffered a setback about a week before he was suppose to report to GR (be released from IR) and the Wings shut him down and he did not skate for a couple of weeks.
Since Svech did not play at all last season, the Wings got the OK from the AHL for him to be waiver exempt for 19-20. Wings should take advantage of that and access his recovery and by then they will know what to do with him for 20-21.
Maybe Detroit should send Svech down to Toledo for a month before coming up to GR. Frk has the same thing happened to him when he started as he could not crack GR lineup for 2 seasons and it helped him plenty. But because Svech is a Red Wings 1st rounder, I doubt they would that. They had that opportunity in 17-18 season to send him to Toledo for about a month to get his confidence back, but chose not to.
This will be Svech make it or move him year for the organization. Hopefully he can get it together and make it work.
It's the NHL that determines waiver exemption, because it's the NHL waiver system. The AHL did give him an exemption from the roster requirement for the playoffs, but he wasn't healthy enough to play.Since Svech did not play at all last season, the Wings got the OK from the AHL for him to be waiver exempt for 19-20.
Agree.If Svech goes to Toledo, his career is over.

My goodness.
Svechnikov to Toledo?
Unless the plan is to move chase him back to Russia, I can't say I understand that.
You acted like you did not want Svech to come back down the GR, so I just responded to your post that maybe Toledo would be a better option and different scenery. Most of us here know that Svech will start this season in GR. From there, it will be up to him to prove to everyone that he should be in the NHL. Hope he does it.
If Svech goes to Toledo, his career is over.
