It would be great for the Wings if Raymond and Wallinder are ready next year

Zero chance Mrazek comes back.

Most likely Raymond and wallinder if they come over start in Grand Rapids just like is done with other prospects, look at Zadina for example. Most likely giavani would be up by this time along with Rasmussen and or hirose if he isn’t picked by Seattle instead. I could easily see glenny coming back after he is dealt at the deadline just don’t see that 4th line being realistic needs more grit/pk specialists

I didn't see the point in that 4th line either. Also, as long as we're still paying him, might as well use Nielsen on the 4th line. He's still good defensively. I could see a 4th line of Smith-Nielsen-TBD. I wouldn't be opposed to Glendening coming back at a cheap deal, like 1m a year, but I wouldn't be surprised if he went somewhere else he could win a cup in the same role.

I could see Raymond making the jump straight to the NHL, next season, he's that good. Wallinder probably needs at least a year or more in GR.

I think Seattle is going to end up taking Stetcher or Namestikov.

Yzermann is a firm believer in over ripening prospects in the minors
