Edvinsson was recovering from shoulder surgery and had an ok not great preseason. Starting the season in the NHL would've been a mistake.
He should have been here Lot sooner than he was

What's Raymonds extension look like now? Guessing it went way up based on the last few weeks play.
He came up for a couple games in December at the tail end of the the (first) Wings losing streak. I don't know if they didn't like what they saw at the time or it was just a roster issue. My memory is he looked pretty good. Not great but not bad enough to warrant giving him the hook.He should have been here Lot sooner than he was
Listened to Jeff mark's podcast titled yzerplan and he said what I always believed to be the case ... he thinks higher ups told yzerman to speed up the rebuild which is why he signed the vets last 2 seasons (could have done better than holl or copp lol) and that yzerman cant be judged until we see the result of all the prospects we have
Some other guy said were lacking that star prospect cause we've had no lottery luck and they're pretty much not confident we cant take the next step ... Meh
Anyways it's worth a listen if anyone wants to check it out
Yzerman not giving Kasper a single NHL game this season, even with all the injuries, is a pretty clear sign that he isn't getting a full-time NHL slot until 2025-2026.
I'm so not into this line of thinking. If your only way to build a team is to forcibly suck until you pull the golden ticket out of a candy wrapper then you're not competent enough to be given the task of building the team in the first place.
Also, I have a hard time looking at Seider, Raymond, and Edvinsson and saying they aren't star prospects. They didn't have the hype of a star prospect, but I think they are delivering the goods so far.
I think SY couldn't find a taker for a D-Man at the TDL and until there was an injury opening (Walman) is was really hard to bring him up unless they LTIRd someone, in hindsight, they could have put Husso on LTIR and brought him up.He came up for a couple games in December at the tail end of the the (first) Wings losing streak.

Overall I would've liked to see him up sometime early in the new year.
that was also true for the Pens, Hawks, and Kings, though. True for vast majority of modern cup winners, probably. People remember Staal, MAF, Crosby and Malkin, but Letang was picked in the third round. Goligoski in the 2nd (61st pick). Talbot was taken in the 8th round. Orpik was the 18th pick. The kings grabbed Doughty #2, but a ton of their team was either drafted where we've been drafted or dealt for.Well if you look at the pens hawks,kings they all had high end star draft picks
I do agree we have end in guys with some of the guys you mentioned but we also need some guys to come out of nowhere and be top 6 star guys for us
We wont win signing copps and comphers. We need a berggren,soderblom etc... to be a big get for us
We'll only know where we're at when the kids show up. so far we have 2 guys, like Edvinsson alot but its still early to say he'll be another seider
That's why we need guys picked in the later rounds to pan out . Maybe get lucky like the Sabres did with thompsonthat was also true for the Pens, Hawks, and Kings, though.

I'm not saying we don't need high end talent. I am saying that this narrative that we have to suck for ten years just to get that perfect bluechipper is entirely wrong. Sometimes that's just not in the cards, and we've seen other franchises go that route and it's not paying off.
Better to trade them and retaining, although we can only retain 3 contracts.All of that said, I am very adverse to buyouts. Sure there is a time and a place but I tend to prefer riding out deals than stretching them further via buyout.
I'm retaining on copp and holl if it means they're gone . Most fans would disagree but I'd trade debrincat in a second if we landed someone like reinhart .I get the need for improvement and with Kane Seider and Raymond all on expiring contracts it is difficult to see room in the cap without some moves.

I don't think Kasper is NHL ready just yet. I think he gets 10-20 games next season as a call-up and goes full-time the next season if he can handle himself.I don't follow the Griffins but from what I've read Kasper had a bad first half of the season and turned things around in the back half. It's not surprising to me he didn't get a look.
I'd be fine with 2x2 and put him on the fourth line as a player-coach. Start Danielson as his center and maybe Berggren on the other wing. Have Perron show them what it takes to be a full-time pro in the NHL.After watching Perrons end of season presser, no way we don't bring him back...he is exactly what the team needs

I think JB is sent out in a dealI'd be fine with 2x2 and put him on the fourth line as a player-coach. Start Danielson as his center and maybe Berggren on the other wing. Have Perron show them what it takes to be a full-time pro in the NHL.
(Send Berggren to live and work out with Raymond in the summer first)

If they all summer in Sweden, can’t they all work out together?I'd rather Edvinsson go work out with Raymond first. Overall I'm happy with how he looked on the team but he needs to pack on some pounds and strength. When he tried to shove guys out there he mostly bounced off.
