[Winger98]

Another disappointing stat for Cleveland.

cleveland hasn't put up a hot stat since setting that river on fire in the 70s.

Sorry by Detroit I meant signing his contract with Detroit not playing for the Wings. He would 100% be in GR as the starter. Goalies almost never go directly to the NHL, and with him going to the college route I think Augustine is going to have to get used to the schedule of a pro league. He's going from 35 games to 50ish if he is a starter. Whether he comes out of college after his Soph or Junior year may be TBD but either way I think with where Cossa is at he should have a good shot at getting the starter job at the AHL and would not need to go to the ECHL unless its a development thing (like Cossa did).

I know some are eager to have Cossa potentially join the team next year, and games played is one of the reasons I am against it even if he has a good camp. Cossa needs to show he can carry a 50 game load at the AHL level, because he likely will start as a backup in Detroit.

Ya cossa needs 1 more year to dominate the ahl

One of only what?

Sorry, corrected above. only 1 of 36 18 year olds.

Yeah next year Cossa's season will be starters work load from the get go in GR, with some call ups to get his feet a little wet if hes playing well. Detroit after that

We might have just two goalies next year and call up Cossa if need be.

I need....NEED, one of Denver or Michigan to win tonight (preferably both). If it's an all Bahstin final we'll never hear the end of it from those jagoffs.

Just for fun, if you're watching, play a drinking game: you have to chug whatever is left of your beer every time Colby Cohen mentions the goddam national title he won in 2009.

Nothing wrong with playing in the echl a season. All depends how long he stays in ncaa . I cant imagine Augustine as a 20 year old goalie turning 21 being the starter in grand Rapids

At that point hes much better off playing a bunch of games in the echl for a season. There is no blue print,each player has they're own path. If Augustine chooses to stay 2 other seasons in ncaa and then grand rapids so be it . If it's the other route so be it

As for bednar as someone mentioned hes still wings property till the summer. Who knows if hed want to resign seeing the competition but if hes willing to theres zero harm having 4 19-22 year old goalies in the pipeline

Much rather have bednar back than some 26 year old no name

I've never heard of a college player leaving to play in the ECHL. If that's the option, he'll stay in college until he graduates. At that point, he'll be UFA, and will sign with whichever team guarantees him a spot in the AHL. There's zero incentive for a college player to sign a contract to play in the ECHL. In his particular case, he's probably very comfortable playing at State since he grew up down I96 in South Lyon.

What's the likelihood that Mathurin gets signed by the Wings and turns pro after this year? Is there room for him in the organization or is there a logjam at LD?

I'd be shocked if he plays ncaa and leaves as a ufa. I said either he plays 2 more ncaa Years and then joins grand rapids or he does 1 and 1. Makes no sense to join g.r as a backup

Wouldnt make him any less of a prospect of he played an echl season .Anyways we'll see what happens

I'll be at work so I can't play, but that might be dangerous!!!

Probably slim, i think they rather sign Buium. Then there is starting to be a logjam, Wallinder, Buium, Viro on the left. Tuomisto, Rafferty on the right side and i would believe that GR re-signs Didier, since he's the captain. 1 spot is open but addition to Mathurin, Cooper Moore played a good season in college and Michigan-native Jacob Truscott isn't signing with the Nucks. Maybe GR signs Mathurin as 8th D, splits the next season between GR and Toledo.

Truscott was coached by Draper for along time just like Mazur so I could definitely see that as a possibility for them signing him

 

[jaster]

Expect Augustine to play in East Lansing through his junior year, and then sign with Detroit and play the following season in GR.

I wonder if it's possible for a team to throw the Wings a forward prospect or a late pick for his rights.

Due to injuries in the past and the missed development time, I fully expected him to play out his OA season in the OHL. But watching him in these playoffs, I would be very surprised if a team didn't feel inclined to step up and offer him an ELC. He's playing very competent defense.

Shai Buium wins a second title. Sign him!

As an aside, I loved seeing prick boy Cutter Gauthier lose after saying he was going to score a couple goals and there would be a lot of tears on the other (Denver's) side. Hopefully he goes into his pro career with a little humility now.

Sounds like the Traverse City prospect tourney is all but dead. Only Dallas is coming up this year, to play a couple games against Detroit. All good things must come to an end, but kinda sad.

I went to two of the tournaments over the years, back when it was 8 teams. I didn’t quite appreciate back then that it was the golden age of the tournament. Was pretty cool to see the number of big time hockey names around. Was a blast to see so many all in one place. Somewhere I still have programs filled with signatures, and all my amateur scouting notes from the practices and games

“Probably not the time to announce it, but the reality is us and Dallas are going to play two games,” Yzerman said. “Things are changing, evolving in the offseason, development camps, rookie tournaments. Teams are doing different things. We’re gonna go up with our rookies and we’re gonna meet Dallas there and play two games.”

Sad, but 2 games is still fine, not like the actual tournament nature of it mattered that much.

Oh what the hell.

Oh what the hell.

Agreed as a long time fan of the Red Wings and a bit of a traditionalist…. It’s tough to see this falling apart.
