In this episode of The Hockey Writers Grind Line, Detroit Red Wings writer Devin Little gets together with producer Matthew Zator to discuss Simon Edvinsson’s first three games in the NHL and whether he should be paired with Moritz Seider or anchor his own pairing in the future.
They also talk about Alex Chiasson’s surprising production since joining the team and his future with the Red Wings in 2023-24 and beyond. Finally, they turn their focus to the 2023 NHL Draft and discuss some targets for Steve Yzerman at 10th overall (as of March 24 according to Tankathon).

For the love of god don’t sign chiasson. We’re missing bodies + guys coming up next season and 0% chance chiasson sustains this next season in 82 games. Pass
Islanders are really pissing me off , they keep getting points and florida,pens keep losing. Our luck , was looking at Matthew wood with that pick
Reinbacher can be a great pick but why not target a team like l.a with a ton of right dmen? Maybe we can get a grans,spence or someone else and try and draft a 1st line player instead in the top 10? Still hoping we fall to 8th
I hope Simon and Moritz show up jacked next preseason.
Yes! Please keep the format. I look forward to this show every Saturday. Thanks!
You guys are great, the duo is nice!
Good format good content
Great format. You should keep it, with the accasional guest coming on. Great show!. I think the wings should draft a forward in this upcoming draft. We need more high end forwards that can score on this team.
Dynamic Duo, Good show fellas keep it up ‼️
Vancouver or blues will pass us by today or tomorrow we could be in 8th in the draft lottery by tomorrow night
I would love to see Detroit move up in the draft. If Detroit gets lucky and gets to draft 2nd overall, I would love to see Yzerman draft Adam Fantilli. If this came to fruition
Detroit Red Wings 2023 picks first 2 rounds.
2nd overall: Adam Fantilli
*16th overall: David Reinbacher
(originally N.Y.I. pick)
40th overall: Noah Dower Nilsson
41st overall: Kasper Halttunen
42nd overall: Detroit trades this pick to Chicago for Arvid Soderblom
Detroit's future line-up est. 2027-2028:
Lombardi Fantilli Raymond
Rasmussen Larkin Buchelnikov
Soderblom Kasper Berggren
Hanas Veleno Mazur
Wallinder Seider
Edvidsson Reinbacher
Buium Grans
Johansson
Cossa
Soderblom or Gylander
I can be the 4th grind liner who took over full time after kocur left! I remember that working out pretty well lol
I liked just having the two of you, good job!
Give us some questions for next week's episode below! If we get enough, Comment Corner will return as a segment!
I like the format.
I also like that Edvinsson commented on his 2 penalties when asked about his first goal. That shows to me that he wants to improve his whole game and just thinking about glory.
Matthew being a Canucks fan and frequently taking that as is "One Good and One Bad" loses me a little during that segment. I'm looking for your "expert" observations about the Wings. It's not a big thing but I like hearing what you guys see and think versus the casual observer.
