I've read in a few places that the plan is to start Fabbri out in the 2C spot. It will be interesting to see how he makes out there.

get the feeling almost no matter how well he does he's just a place marker until the kids are ready for larger roles.

hard to say. It's not like he's on the downward swing of his career. He's only 24 himself.

Seider not in camp yet?

[hockeyrobot]

He and Veleno are staying in Sweden until the end of the SHL season. So sometime in March.

Veleno has 13 points in 25 games.
Seider is supposedly really impressing with 13 points in 22 games.

Good to know. Thanks man. Glad to see they are not rushing him. I'm not going to lie - I think the Wings are getting better faster than anyone thinks. The roster for this year is varied, but what a perfect setup to get the kids another year with some strong mentorship, identify your effective veterans for the next couple of years, and get ready for a playoff push in a year or two.

I sure hope so. I don't subscribe to the Athletic but this article seems to go over something about their 9 PLAYERS BEING UFAS AFTER THIS SEASON

Sounds worth the read.

“They have $9 million in cap space currently, but an eye-popping $46 million next year, when Henrik Zetterberg’s $6.08 million charge comes off the books; and nine players projected to be in the starting lineup for 2020-21 become UFAs,” said Eric Duhatschek. (from “How we’d run the Red Wings: Build through the draft, use cap space wisely’ – The Athletic – 12/31/20)

Red Wings fans, what are your thought on Tyler Bertuzzi?? Is he on the cusp of breaking out??

I don't see much more than a 60 point player on Detroit. On a better team I think he could become an undervalued star. He has excelled everywhere he's played.

He'd need to go back on waivers for that, Anaheim could just claim him back.
