I think he’s going to be a really solid power forward for us. A lot of fans don’t realize that underage players, even really great ones, don’t play a lot of minutes in the SHL. Sandin Pellikka gets 2nd pair minutes. MBN is on the fourth line. Neither Kasper nor Raymond were ever top line players in the SHL. Neither was Edvinsson. Euro leagues heavily favor veteran players because of the club system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
town123 230 Report post Posted March 29 MBN had another goal called back (goalie interference) and added an assist. His line looked really solid, playing a playoff type physical game. He wasn't killing guys, but rather taking them out of the play which is an improvement I think over earlier in the year when he was trying to nail people. I'm excited. He's going to make our top 9 tougher. Yeah! 1 kipwinger reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmybigrigs69 355 Report post Posted Wednesday at 11:31 AM Brady Cleveland is on an interesting career path. We drafted him in the 2nd round in 2023, right after Andrew Gibson (Gibson has looked like poop since being traded to Nash btw, and that trade bringing back Kiiskinen now looks like SY fleeced Trotz) After we drafted Cleveland out of the US dev program he went to U of Wisconsin... but got prolly half the playing time he wanted. So this year he transfered to Colorado College. Got his reps finally, but Colorado didnt exactly have a great program or season.... Well, he's just entered the NCAA transfer portal again to leave Colorado. Which is super quick, meaning he probably already has a destination/offer from another (better) school lined up. I would not at all be shocked if he is on his way to WMU, MSU, or UofM... all of which are coached by former Wings assistant coaches, and can therefore be closer to the team in more ways than one. Regardless, this kid bets on himself and I like that. Badgers wont play me? Fine, ill go to a worse roster and prove myself. Thats done, perfect, now I'll move to a better roster. He's a 6'5" 220 lb nasty violent Dman with zero scoring ability. Prolly projects as a 15 min a night bottom pairing... but could end up a fan favorite bottom pair. The exact type guy you want in that role. And he's a 2nd rounder unlike former picks like this we've had like Mike McKee, so the team likely expects more and has more invested in him. Wish I could find the clip... but theres some of him absolutely wrecking ppls shop. Youtube search algorithim sucks these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That guy's a f*cking disgrace! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Vl8yXfnSMw&pp=ygUSZGlzZ3JhY2Ugc2xhcCBzaG90 Edit: Seriously though, leave this kid in the NCAA for his full term and let him develop his game more. Give him ample time to learn to defend properly, but at the same time let him get some of those offensive minutes as he becomes an upper classman on the team. If we can get to the point where he can kill penalties, defense at even strength, and just break the puck out I'd let him be my 6D any day of the week. Basically be Erik Cernak 2.0. Because how on earth do you not like that aggressiveness? Edited Wednesday at 04:32 PM by kipwinger 2 LeftWinger and town123 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I see a lot of mock trades out there by fans on puckpedia that include the rights to Cleveland. GTFO! This guy needs to stay in the future plans for the Red Wings!

THANK YOU Good god, maybe a league without fighting like NCAA was the wrong path for him? Though it may actually be a fuqqing disgrace to allow him to whoop the pizz out 17 year old CHLers lol 2 hours ago, kipwinger said: That guy's a f*cking disgrace! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Vl8yXfnSMw&pp=ygUSZGlzZ3JhY2Ugc2xhcCBzaG90 Edit: Seriously though, leave this kid in the NCAA for his full term and let him develop his game more.

Because how on earth do you not like that aggressiveness? The thing about him too is that he is SKINNYYYYY. Or at least was on draft day. His listed height/weight hasnt changed at all since then, but I suspect that those just havent been updated yet, and probably won't be until he joins the Griffins. However a lot of guys try not to get heavy these days to stay lean and mobile. I guess I don't care which way he goes as long as he can play. This team needs grit, fight, attitude in the worst way... 24 minutes ago, LeftWinger said: The future is on their way to Grand Rapids!

Jimmybigrigs69 355 Report post Posted Wednesday at 07:51 PM "Goalies are voodoo and you shouldnt spend high picks on them cause there are broduers, haseks, rinnes, nabokovs, khabibulans, etc etc hiding in the late rounds" Except the ONLY decent goalie the wings have drafted in like 40+ years are Howard and Ozzy. Both average guys to boot... But did we actually finally do it? Checkout Rudy Guimond's stats in the Q. Our 6th round pick from last year. His numbers are insane. Especially for the Q, which is traditionally high scoring and doesnt produce good goalies. Best yet hes only getting better in the playoffs. It's gonna be hillariously ironic if we finally spent major draft capital to nab Cossa and Augustine... and then in LITERALLY the same year Trey is drafted this rando 6th rounder - Rudy lol im the next fuqqing hasek Guimond - comes in and steals the show. In other news, I officially disavow my allegiance to Augustine in the Cossa v Augustine net war. GuimondGuyz lez fuqqin go 1 town123 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmybigrigs69 355 Report post Posted Wednesday at 08:25 PM More on Rudy The GOAT Guimond... Looks like he's leaving the Q and has committed to Yale for next year. Odd choice for him because Yale SUCKS absolute dog dick. They've gotten hammered by opponents and they dont have any drafted players on their roster. And not any draftees coming in either, EXCEPT Guimond. The silver lining is this is going to be an exceptional test for him. If he can hold up that team he may very well be the real deal. He will most likely certainly win the starting job as well. There are some older goalies on their roster, but of course they suck. FUN FACT: Red Wings currently have the most players in the NCAA (15) with Boston trailing us (13). Most teams only seem to have about 5-7 NCAA prospects.
