You would be stupid not to pick Datsyuk first overall.

Ty Conklin embraces role as Wings' backup goaltender | The Detroit News | detroitnews.com
I'm glad Conklin embraces the role in which he was signed for and the role in which he has played all of his career. Good job. Now keep playing well so the Wings don't drive Jimmy into the ground.

I'm happy that Hudler is playing well. The Wings need him to play well. They need him to play well to help the team and to help his trade value.

just read the story about Backman and i started to look at all of our prospects...

and i noticed that all the stories about Jurco were about how they wanted him to blow up offensively in juniors before he goes pro. i think 32 games with 21 goals and 25 assists is a damn good start. this kid has my hopes up cant wait to see him in grand rapids next fall

Yeah

I’m hoping he jets to the Griffins next season and lights the AHL on freaking fire. I’d love to see him with the Wings by age 21. Oh well.. that’s probably just a dream, but the kid’s playing really freaking well.

i think it could happen if he keeps playing like this.

i would love for him to get a few seasons on the wings with pavel to show him the ropes.

Who

was the last guy to make the Red Wings as a full-timer at 21 years old? Steve Yzerman?

I honestly don’t know the answer to that question.

well prolly muel

but assuming jurco keeps progressing like i think he can i hope they throw jurco pav and z all on a line at one point in the not so distant future…. oh the talent all on one line even if its just in the preseason it would be fun to watch.
