    Does anyone have any info on this Detroit Dman? Upside? ETA? His hockey sense is supposed to be through the roof so I signed him to my farm last year and was wondering if he is worth hanging onto.

    Thanks

    I also hold him in a large keeper league and am just holding onto him until I see him get some time with the Griffins, which will be next season. He did play three games in North America at the end of this year so that is a good sign. With Smith likely on the Wings roster it should open an opportunity for him on the powerplay in GR.

    Red Wings Central did a piece on him back in January. Here is the link and some notes.

    Adam Almqvist appears to have the talent for a sudden offensive explosion — but the Detroit Red Wings don’t feel he’s getting the ice time to reach his potential.
    “They have two real high-profile defensemen on that team (HV71) who they pay a lot more money to, so Adam, somehow, doesn’t get to step forward and do the stuff we feel he can do,”
    While he hasn’t blossomed offensively — aside from leading all SEL defensemen in playoff scoring in 2010 en route to a championship — he has made great strides defensively. He has a career plus-46 in his 119 SEL games, including a league-leading plus-20 last season.
    - he was plus-16 this season

    “Just for the fact that he needs to be challenged more,” Andersson said. “If you put him in Grand Rapids, and say this is our power-play man, you can find out what he can do.”

    Awesome! Thanks for the reply, I was leaning towards hanging onto him now I'll take the wait and see approach.

    Rep coming your way!
