Sounds good to me.

I was thinking about this the other day for our young guys. Makes a lot of sense with some leagues starting back up.

When is this not an option? Beyond the ELC?

Why should Zadina go? He's already shown near Top6, .54 ppg ability = 44pts/82gp. He played a small sample size & I wouldn't mind he & Joe V. getting TOI together, but doesn't Zadina develop better in the NHL now?

Sounds like both would have an opt out to return to the NHL this season. If so, it makes sense. Zadina is probably already living in the CR. Why not get meaningful games in from October - December?

Yeah, I read the Tweet After I posted it, thanks. It wouldn't open for a few minutes.

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

Hell, send em all. Rent Trinec a new team for a couple of months.

Will the Red Wings be playing in the NHL within the next several months?

Reps, mane.

Boys gotta play organized hockey somewhere. This is just where we're at today.

I posted it after I read the Tweet (it didn't open at 1st). As long as their outclause is good, we're gold. They'll get to form some chemistry on a work "intl. field trip". Our future primary/secondary scoring relies on these 2. D rests on Seider & Hronek so far.

I think Zadina's dad is the coach of the team they're going to as well.

Yep, HC Ocelari Trinic. Zadina’s father, Marek, is an asst. coach

 

[Gniwder]

I think Zadina's dad is the coach of the team they're going to as well.

From WIki:

"Filip is the son of Marek Zadina, a retired professional ice hockey player who is currently an assistant coach for HC Oceláři Třinec of the Czech Extraliga."

 

[saska sault]

I like it. Give as many of the young guys as we can some development ice time... The extra games won't hurt and can only help get both closer to permanent spots on the big club, although Zadina might already be approaching that status.

 

[Oddbob]

What about Ras and McIsaac and a few others? I assume Seider will go play in Germany!

When is this not an option? Beyond the ELC?

Not 100% sure, but if it is ELC, here are all the guys who are still on ELC

- Hronek (also back to Czechs ?)
- Zadina (Czech Rep.)
- Veleno (Czech Rep.)
- Rasmussen
- Smith
- Pearson
- Seider (back to Germany ?)
- Lindström (back to Sweden ?)
- Bromé (back to Sweden ?)
- Cholowski
- McIsaac (also to Czechs ? wasn't he Zadina's teammate at Halifax ?
- Johansson (stays in Sweden? loaned anyways back, I think)

All could be sent elsewhere. And Svechnikov to KHL as RFA.

That would leave a non-playing team on NHL side like:

Bertuzzi - Larkin - Mantha
Timashof - Filppula - Fabbri
Hirose - Glendening - Helm
Ehn - Turgeon - Erne
(Abdelkader, Nielsen)

Nemeth - Biega
Hicketts - McIlrath
Lashoff - Wood

The HC Ocelari Trinic Griffins, you love to see it.

I could see a guy like Hirose having his game benefit from playing somewhere like Switzerland, the DEL or SHL. I'd like to see him in one of those leagues. Same thing with Pearson. His game was coming on really strong in the second half and he was consistently a top forward 3 or 4 performing forward on any given night for GR during a 20 game stretch. He's pretty much bumped Turgeon down the depth chart at this point.

Yeah, like to see both Hirose and Pearson on my Finnish favourite Team. Would need a great 2-way physical center like Pearson on top lines and left-handed PP playmaker (Hirose) would be nice for PP, where's already multiple righties, almost too many.

 

[Hen Kolland]

I think we need to slow the roll on all these kids going to Europe to play. These teams have their own players, and there's going to be limited opportunities. Zadina is a no-brainer, and the Wings trying to get Veleno over there with him is probably their #1 item on the wish list beyond it (and using Zadina and his father as a bargaining chip will help). For a player like Svech or Hirose to pull it off, you probably are talking about that player abandoning their North American hockey dreams to play in Europe. More of a permanent change.

Just be thankful we might be able to get these two guys playing competitive games in October. Also makes me wonder exactly how close they feel Veleno is to being ready.

Really making me feel like they see Valeno as a 2c. They’ve had him pinned to zadina since the prospects tournament. They Even have him going to the czech league with zadina. Makes me think they envision them together in the nhl. Which would be the 2nd line.

Not to mention he was Lafrenierre's center at the WJC to provide a solid defensive presence. Like I said in other threads, I think he could be a good 2C who provides the line's defensive conscience with a line-driving winger like Zadina.

And add Perfetti there.

Lucky for Veleno.

Instead of living in Grand Rapids, Michigan, he may move to Prague, where he can bang hot Czech girls, while drinking high quality beer and visiting famous spas.
