Worth taking a shot on the kid, but it’ll be tough to beat the Wild I imagine.
Lol calm down, he will most likely start in the GR.Excellent, the Wings can offer him an immediate role. Where would he play on a loaded Wild team?
Lol, no he won’t, or he’s not signing hereLol calm down, he will most likely start in the GR.

My top 20:
1. Power
2. Edvinsson
3. Boldy
4. McTavish
5. Johnson
6. Knies
7. Wallstedt
8. Beniers
9. Eklund
10. Niemela
11. Quinn
12. Knight
13. Raty
14. Rossi
15. Clarke
16. Holtz
17. Macelli
18. Hughes
19. Reichel
20. Nick Robertson
Hm: Sanderson, Byfield, Cossa, Wright, Perfetti
Yeah, I mean they’re holding Rossi down in the AHL because of roster and cap space, Minny is loaded with prospects who want to play now, that’s why they lost McBain. I get the home appeal but he can immediately play in Detroit and find his niche.I think they would find a spot him for to get games in before the playoffs. Playing in your home state likely holds some appeal though.
He would probably finish the season playing on our third line if he signed here though. You’re not wrong about the immediate role.
He's outscoring his teammate Knies, who is the #6 prospect in ALL of hockey, so this could be a HUGE get. /s
Remember Hirose and Kuffner?Lol calm down, he will most likely start in the GR.
Knies is a superior player. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him play in the NHL next season.
Myers might be a something, but probably just a good bottom 6 guy.
Also Meyers is 4 years older than Knies.
Not comparable AT ALL.
Could be next Luke Glendening on the making. With better scoring.
11 years ago, 23-year old Luke Glendening was undrafted Grand Rapids native, playing as Captain for Michican University. Now 23-year old Ben Meyers is Minnesota-native, playing as Captain for Minnesota University...
Red Wings was loaded on those days and he still signed to nearby team. Expect the same in this case. They pick the hometown team, especially because it's having success. Young players avoid losing teams, no matter what you try to sell them. Blaa blaa that we are a future winner and could give a better opportunity.
They pick the better team from hometown. It's special to play in front of your family etc. When you can choose, everybody will choose that.
I mean... yeah. what's that got to do with this?Knies is a superior player. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him play in the NHL next season.
I mean... yeah. what's that got to do with this?
Meyers is not a Luke Glendening, let's just get that straight. Meyers has a motor and excellent compete, but LFG's was on another level. And Meyers does not have LFG's defensive game. Depending on how he translates to the NHL, Meyers has a little to a lot more offense though. Meyers is less a shutdown player and more a Swiss army knife.
I mean... yeah. what's that got to do with this?
For the record, I know that there is no comparison to make there and you can't just look at stats. I threw a /s in there.Izlez mentioned that he's got more points than Knies. My point is that doesn't matter because they're going to be different players in the NHL. Drink a coffee, man. Wake up so we can talk prospects.
So basically a poor man's Vladislav Namestnikov who fetched us a 4th at TDL?
What about the other NCAA UFA's we signed in the past. I am causiously optimistic, but lets wait and seeRemember Hirose and Kuffner?
This kid is 23, older than Veleno, Seider, Raymond, and Raz. He's also NHL size at 204 lbs.
Throw this kid in and bench Erne or send Hirose back down. There's room on the roster for this kid.
They both played 10 games that season. That's all I was getting at, if he signs he'll play because I'm sure that will be part of the agreement.What about the other NCAA UFA's we signed in the past. I am causiously optimistic, but lets wait and see
