Description

I usually don’t like making future ACGM’s since they’re kinda silly to make with so much uncertainty in the now but, I wanted to profess my admiration (and hope) for Leo Carlsson.

I expect the wings to sell maybe 2-3 pending UFA’s at the deadline. Larkin gets extended and Bertuzzi re-signs on a one year deal.

Detroit finishes with the 7th best lottery odds and wins the 2nd pick a la 2022 NJD fortune.

Leo Carlsson will be the #2 pick in this draft despite what happens with any other prospects’ status. Carlsson in my opinion is an Evgeni Malkin clone and a not-so-bad consolation prize to Bedard.

I expect Kasper and Edvinsson to make the roster out of camp and in this ACGM, so does Leo. I love the idea of having Kasper & Carlsson center the 2nd & 3rd lines flanked by experienced wingers.

Kubalik, Maatta & Sundqvist are traded at the deadline. For what; I don’t know. So for this I am burying Kubalik’s contract rather than come up with a trade for him.

Also, with the uncertainty surrounding Vrana; I left him off completely. I am also strongly against a buyout like some seem to suggest in the papers. I think buying out a player with a year left on their deal is extremely dumb.

Depending on how the season goes, Bertuzzi, Perron, Chiarot, Vrana and even Hronek could be in trade conversations which would free up upwards of $40m to re-sign Seider, Raymond & Berggren - and even potentially land a big fish in free agency the following offseason.

I like it but I would probably do things a little differently. I also like the idea of drafting Carlsson, but I probably let him play a year in Grand Rapids unless he absolutely kills it in training camp and preseason. That way we could get Zadina into the line up, I feel like he deserves another chance.
I would probably line it up something like this for the forwards
Bertuzzi - Larkin - Raymond
Berggren - Rasmussen - Perron
Fabbri - Kasper - Copp
Soderblom - Veleno - Zadina

Obviously this is all dependent on not signing any free agents which Yzerman might have blew his load on last off season.

I think Wallinder is going to kick the door in and make the team next season, that's my bold prediction

I know how badly everyone wants that Bert, Larkin & Raymond line to work again but, I think the Bert & Larkin combo ship has sailed.

That is quite the bold statement, especially since he’s not even signed yet but, that would be nice to see.

Edvinsson AND Wallinder both making the team seems kind of improbable especially if we re-sign Maatta or Walman, though.

That's why it's my bold prediction, haha

In all honesty, it's improbable, but I just love his game and am super excited about him
