Derek Lalonde already said that both Copp and Sundqvist are good to go Friday night against Montreal.i

I don't know what you consider impressive but Vrana in 37 games as a Red Wing he has 21 goals and 30 points and his G/60 in all situations was 2nd with only Matthews ahead of him.

True, but I was considering how training camp/preseason looked like. I think it might be worth putting that skill level with Zadina in a 3rd line with either Suter or Rasmusses (Rasmussen imo). I guess Vrana and Elmo are largely interchangeable, but I think playstyle and speed will be relevant to what players are best suited to play with each other. Vrana/Rasmussen/Zadina just feels right and I think Elmo will work well with Perron/Copp. Just not a huge fan of burying Big E in a 4th line. But either way, however you swing it, I'm excited to see what the guys can do.

Vrana and Elmo are interchangeable?

First season watching hockey?

Copp has played a lot of wing in the NHL and now Detroit wants him to be their 2C. So him succeeding is more important than giving Söderblom a lot of minutes and Perron and Vrana give Copp the best chance to succeed.

In the context of skill level, I do think Elmo and Vrana are at about the same skill level. Especially considering my first sentence, which was referring to considering training camp/preseason.

lol, dude. Vrana is a 40-50 point NHL player. Elmo hasn't even made it to the AHL yet.

WTF are you talking about.

You don't have to go through AHL to play in the NHL. That said, I am heavily caveating the above on a pretty limited sample size.

Some courtesy and nicer language would be nice, Sir.
