Buium on a 6-game points streak and points in 7 of his last 8 games is quite a turn around. One more year in NCAA before he has to turn pro, and after that will we have room for him in AHL, much less the Wings?

I kind of hoped we would chase Yager with our second pick, and have gotten potentially two forwards - maybe two centermen - with our first two picks. Of course, I also thought Sandin Pelikka would have been gone by then.

The JFresh stuff is just supporting info. The main info is my eyes and watching the Wings get pinned and forcing little OZone time against the better teams. Particularly early. This team plays from behind way too much for as long as I can remember. Adding decent supporting players doesn't change th...

You can have Holl. You can have Petry. You can have Gost. You probably don't want to have 2, never mind 3, of them. Yeah, I have thought that every game so far. For the most part, any one of those guys has made at least a bad play or two in the defensive zone per game. Gost seems to cover it up mor...

After 2 games, DeBrincat has 4 points and Compher has 3 points. Sprong looks dangerous to score all of the time, and has 2 goals to show for it. I have to be honest that I like the way this year's free agent class is looking compared to Perron and Copp starting last year. And I like those two. Copp ...

I keep watching to see if one of the defensemen finally falls out for an even 6-man group. I don't really think anyone had a terrible game at defense tonight. Walman was notable for cleaning up his hopping and hopping stick, and he seems to play really well with Seider. Seider looked great... Tampa ...

If I was only judging by the six defensemen that played tonight, I would think that Walman was the guy in danger to losing his spot. He had a hard time settling the puck on his stick in a couple of occasions, and that seemed to mean that Seider also had to play a little tighter. I thought this was s...

Imagine if he brought us 3 or 4 more players in the realm of Tatar and Nyquist... and I think Holland would have been loved even after his departure. Would we also feel differently if Jarnkrok and Janmark had stayed in the farm while maybe Sheahan and Svechnikov left earlier?

I'm torn between "that's completely nuts" and "Sure, why not?" on this. And I'm leaning more into it if you can promise we will trade him to Columbus at the deadline...

Would we really use another 1st round pick so soon on a left-handed defenseman? This would be a good year to get some puck-luck and fall into the 1st pick to avoid growing the pipeline logjam at LD.
