Interesting show guys, I first wanted to mention Kasper getting into it with Anthony Mantha last night – this kid has guts and grit unlike alot of young players. Marco Kasper will be a huge playoff player. Mantha outweighs him by 50 pounds and he never backed down. I love it.
Danielson is very impressive, but I don't think he's on the big club this year.
Edvinsson should be on the Red Wings I believe.
Finally I see the building blocks of a future winning Red Wings team starting to form.
Can you predict Cossa's AHL record for this coming season?
Or, who will lead the GRG in points this coming season?
Great show as always.
I would switch devins line 2/3. Also Nate has looked amazing and looking to want a spot. Kasper throwing hands with mantha was amazing. He is showing the same drive to make the lineup as well.
Honestly I don’t think they should have brought veleno back. You have danielson and kasper who they knew could have been knocking on the door to make the team this year. Veleno isn’t going to get any better in my opinion. Yet you have 2 prospects who’s ceilings are higher then velenos can ever be.
Fabbri is sadly prone to injury. If it’s nothing serious, that’s awesome. Yet if it is. I think it’s time to cut him loose and start letting the kids get their chances to prove themselves.
