Swedeman Europeansson, you are a Detroit Red Wing
Sennecke/Catton: “Wait did we just win the draft?”
Helenius/MBN/Solberg: “Predictably predictable, but not in a horrible way”
Eiserman/Connelly/Hage: “Oh shit we are actually taking a chance on skill. How bout that?”
Greentree: “Our front office’s brain cells have rotted away”
We’re drafting Jörg Swedenssøn tonight, good 200 ft player, little offensive upside, but his coach tells us that he’s a competitor and he’s a really tough to play against.
Bold Prediction: We don’t make a selection tonight
Unrealistic, they will not fall that far, but maybe…:
1. Berkly Catton
2. Tij Iginla
3. Beckett Sennecke
4. Carter Yakemchuk
Realistically some of them might be there:
5. Michael Hage
6. Michael Brandsegg-Nygaard
7. Cole Eiserman
8. Jett Luchanko
9. Liam Greentree
Not at 15th, but cool if we trade down:
10. Cole Beaudoin
11. Andrew Basha
12. Konsta Helenius (who will go higher)
No!
– Trevor Connelly (just No!)
– Stian Solberg (enough with the damn LHD)
The WWP mock draft podcast just dropped. I know people were worried they wouldn’t have one since they did a pod for the Walman thing
It’s kinda nice that the future of this team doesn’t hinge on the draft and we can just kick back and see if we can steal ourselves a difference maker in the middle of the round. Hasn’t been that way in a long time.
Very excited to see what plays out tonight
Bold prediction, 3 way trade Rangers send their 1st, Kakko, Trouba 20% retained to the wings.
Wings send their 1st 15 overall, future considerations from the sharks & Holl to NY.
NY sends Holl to SJ. 4th round 2027 pk
NY gets salary relief 8.4 million in salary relief & moves up to 15, future considerations
Detroit gets pick 30, Trouba for 6 million a season, kakko for 2.4, & all while removing Holls 3.4 mil. This move costs the wings 1.6 million in new cap space
SJ got this yrs 2nd, a 2027 4th, Holl and Walman
Any potential for a Larkin at 15 this year?
Yea I didn’t think we would be excited for the draft, considering it’s Steve’s 6th. It will be 2028 before the kid ever touches the ice.
Would be nice to have Pick #53 as a bargaining chip to move around in the draft right now.
Happy draft day, everybody!
Do I even want to go to the draft party? With how long the draft drags on, every gm in the top 10 makes a damn statement of the union speech, idk if I want to drive an hour to LCA and sit through that whole thing. Is it worth it?
**Bold Prediction:** We draft no Swedes and thus the sub spends the entire off-season trying to coalesce around a new draft meme.

Stevie ripping the pen right now getting ready to drop bombs.
Man I don’t know how it would realistically work. But I would love for us to end up with Necas and Teuro. I wanted both of those players in their draft years and have been my favorite players outside of Detroit for a while now, besides Perfetti of course.
Alright, here’s a hot take. I don’t think Trevor Connelly is anything like Mitchell Miller. Miller is straight up evil and malicious, Connelly is just kind of a dumbfuck that probably gets bullied a lot for being a dumbfuck and does stupid shit to seek attention.
Yzerman probably still won’t draft him, but if we do, I don’t think he’s actually a Nazi or a racist, he’s just kind of an idiot, and he probably ends up being the shit-taker in a group of friends. Nothing worth freaking out about, except that he seems like his idiocy could turn him into Alex Galchenyuk.
Yzerman’s gonna make a surprise move and trade the 15OA pick to San Jose for Jake Walman.

anyone else getting 2016 deja vu
Honestly this year’s draft is probably the one I’ve followed the least in recent memory. I have no idea what to expect.
My unpopular take is I think the Wings need a high flying wing and Isermsn is that guy. With any luck he’ll continue to drop and they get him.
