Not gonna pretend to be a prospect scout, but it’s easy to see that Yzerman is building a defensive corps filled with tall, physical, and highly mobile dudes. Cossa and Ned gives the Wings two premium shots at a franchise goalie. Then throw in the couple good forward prospects… exciting future in Detroit
I was a little confused with the choice of Cossa over Wallstedt at first just because of how hyped Wallstedt was, but after seeing Cossa’s stats, highlights, and post-draft interview, I really like the pick. Some of the late-round picks look promising too
The stats could be a bit misleading though. Cossa had jr. competition whereas Wallstedt, if I'm not mistaken, his stats are from the top Swedish league.
One thing that I've heard is that Wallstedt seems to be nearing his peak of his skill potentially, meanwhile Cossa grew another inch since the draft and is still developing.
Thanks for this quick compilation, Alex. I didn't have time in my schedule to sit and watch any part of the draft. This condensed version is absolutely perfect for me. I can't tell you how much I appreciate what you do. LGRW!!!
I don't know how people can doubt Yzerman after seeing what he did in Tampa and the legacy he left behind there. Will the Red Wings be as good as Tampa was? Probably not. But Yzerman has shown he's probably the best GM in the entire league
@@stopdroolin8418 I'm not shitting on the Red Wings at all. Just saying there was a shit ton of luck involved for the Lightning. And the Lightning's player development is out of this world. You got offended way too easily by one word
Who is the douchebag that gave a thumbs down?? My man cut and put this video together for ppl that missed or couldn't get access to watch it and beautiful i might add!! If it's a thumbs-down for the draft class I would understand but you shouldn't give a thumbs down for this video this guy went way out of his way to make this for us faithful Detroit Redwings fans to enjoy and for u not to have to go click on 8 different videos to watch highlights of these kids so he put it all together in one
I loved Eklund and believe he'll be an incredible player in the league but the edvinsson pick was primo. He's a modern dman. Especially because of his nice reach. Poke checks are the new big hits. It is what it is.
@@NoLoVeLoStNoLoVfOuNd because we bought a cup in 02 and we were pretty successful for a long time even though were not amongst the larger hockey markets which in turn hurts the NHLs bottom line.
Yzerman’s aggressiveness in trades is what has been lacking in Detroit, Holland failed to adapt, he never tried to make a big move at trade deadlines, and he was pretty terrible in a lot of drafts, it’s beautiful to see Yzerman doing what is necessary to build a winning hockey team.
I know some guys wanted eklund/Wallstedt but two big puck controlling d-man is what u need. Seider and Edvinsson on two different pair is exactly what we need just look at Tampas Left side. Pens when they went b2b or Chi.
not only that, we have great prospect forwards right now, Raymond, Berggren, Veleno, like why draft some more forwards. We need to get some grizzled vets on our offense, and help build these players up. Forwards are so easy to come by in the off season.
i agree but i wouldn't compare pittsburgh and chicago's defence to tampa's. tampa's is far better than both of those team's defence, duncan keith was playing 31 minutes a night not because they had a great defence because they had oduya and rozsical and outside of letang and dumoulin pittsburgh did not and still does not have a great defence corps
@@matthewmoilanen3575 okay well Tampas is extreme but what was said every game is how big all 6 of those d-man were and when u have 3 good puck moving guys it’s easier if we gonna get Cooper in a few years
Thank you so much for putting this together Alex! I missed the entire draft because of a weekend long work event, wouldn’t have been able to see this all put together without you!
It’s funny what the guys said, if the other gm was jelly of Stevie. They are right tho bc I don’t think Stevie can ever do anything wrong in Detroit, he’s so loved here that I don’t think he can ever ever be fired. The fans will burn the city down if they ever try to do something like that.
I liked the Seider pick after watching his highlights and I liked the Edvensonn pick as well after watching the highlights. I don't follow NHL prospects so I go off the highlights. It's probably why I was in the minority in liking the Seider pick when it happened.
Overall I give Detroit a B in the first round. I believe an excellent defense and goalie are more important than offense. Two things you are not winning without stellar defense and strong goaltending. It doesn't matter if your offense scores 3 goals but your defense and goalie allow 4 goals, your still losing the game. Edvinsson was a solid choice at 6th and can definitely bolster up the back end with Seider and I was hoping for Cossa at 23 because we need a strong goalie and Wallstedt was not going to be there by then. We didn't really have any promising top standing out goalie prospects. Now here is where I think Yzerman made a mistake in trading up to 15 to select Cossa, I mean yeah I understand if he chose Wallstedt and I definitely thought that was the plan at first. The goalies started slipping. I mean we're already at 15 and no goalie was selected yet. Only 8 more spots until 23 and Nashville probably wasn't gonna pick a goalie since they took Askarov last year. I feel like Cossa might have been there by then. But hey there are no guarantees. Wallstedt went at 20. Who knows? Cossa might have been gone at 22. I guess it doesn't really matter at least for now. Most rankings had them equal to each other. Ultimately I trust Yzerman. Plus isn't it weird how every year you always hear "this is the best goalie prospect ever" or this is the best goalie prospect in the last decade" then next year comes and its always the same thing. It's like hey draft that guy, he's better than that other guy....because he does the exact same thing 🤔
Not super excited about some of the picks. I thought he did really well last year and in 2019. Not as confident this year. But only time will tell and I’ll trust yzerman until he gives me reason not to
Ehh Mailloux did a really douchey thing, but at 17 you really can’t expect somebody to be perfect, and it shouldn’t prevent him from having a career… … That being said, he did the smart thing by opting out of the draft to try to rehab his image, and Bergervin completely fucked him by dragging him right back out into the spotlight.
If Holland would have taken the promotion the Wings wouldn't be in the mess they are in now. Instead, we had to sit and watch Stevie turn Tampa into a powerhouse while we worked just barely talented enough small guys into the lineup for years. Also, love how you finish with worst record and never got a top 3 pick. I will never believe that stuff ain't rigged.
Detroit once again has an over abundance of left shooting defensemen. Still would have liked more centers in the farm system. You can't win with Larkin. Need more centers for more competition.
what a goddamn hack outfit this tv crew is . its a crime tsn with james duthie , mckenzie , dreger , lebrun , odog , ray , etc isnt doing these drafts . a huge loss for nhl fans
I hate the edvinsson pick. Why draft a low iq william wallinder 2.0 when you can take Brandt Clarke?? just because he is swedish? is it because Clarke is right handed? it doesnt matter to me, Clarke could be pp QB and Seider elite number 1 d, but instead we get edvinsson :/ is it too late to go back and change the pick...
God you must be feeling stupid right now. Edvinsson is one of the best dmen in the the third/fourth best league in the world while Brandt’s skating deficiencies are still masked by playing against 17 year olds

2022 has the stacked forward draft. Detroit will stock up on centers then most likely
Well, it was easy to see Stevie prioritized big, skilled, smooth skating player's before he even came to Detroit. He is following his blueprint.
@@mdsupreme1776 my only issue is that I feel we won’t be bad enough to get a top 3 pick this upcoming year
I think we will end up with a top 15 pick. But now with Covid protocol, maybe top 10.
@@timmyjohnson1195 we could be this year’s NY Rangers. Close to a playoff team but get lucky and win the lottery. Can’t say we aren’t way overdue.

I like the fact that Cossa is 6’6” but very mobile, calm and able to move the puck well.
One thing that I've heard is that Wallstedt seems to be nearing his peak of his skill potentially, meanwhile Cossa grew another inch since the draft and is still developing.
I was torn with this pick, big goalies usually are prone to injury.

This channel is a godsend
6'6 goalie, big dude man!
@Lesevesel his style was suspect anyway. I didn’t see an nhl starter when I watched him. Cossa is going to be really good.
Can't wait to see what Cossa can do in the big time

Whata excellent draft for the Wings , luv all the picks , the DEFENSE is gonna b SCARY GOOD in a few years
him and mo Seider gonna wreck some people out there get them on the ice this season not 10 yrs from now Stevie 👍
Seider is ready Edvinsson has some things to work on, I bet hes 2 years out :(
Gary Bettman hates Detroit. I promise you that he was hurt by the Wings getting two top 15 picks in the draft.
Why does he hate Detroit?
