Jeremy Laura: Red Wings Marco Kasper gets 2 big goals in 4-3 OT win over Lightning

Kasper has without a doubt solidified his place as the 2nd line center of this team. This is exactly what we were hoping for... I do hope that Sandin-Pellika is good enough and ready to make a direct jump to the NHL. He'll get his shot to make the case in training camp next season. Let's hope he's that good and can make the case.

Best case scenario for next season is all the top prospects take a job in Detroit. It's not unrealistic for at least 4 or 5 new young players in Detroit. Cossa will certainly get a shot to earn the backup job I'd think. Could be another logjam as both Mrazek and Talbot are signed for next season. Let the best goalie win. I'm sure Lyon will be goine to free agency... I just don't see the Wings extending him an offer at this point.

And then there's Buchelnikov... really wish Detroit could give us some kind of update on this enigmatic prospect. He looks like the real deal to me.

After I tried to contact Buch’s team, I found out the NHL shut down most communication w the KHL, even for prospects. I agree that 4 to 5 kids could grab spots. Just need to stay healthy. Lombardi could be in Kasper’s spot from this past season as a top winger before a move to center. Curious to see the D. There was a write up on Johansson’s physicality in GR on a pairing w Buium. Lots of good takes floating around

OH... and I almost forgot to say: GO WMU BRONCOS TONIGHT !!

Most everyone has Boston University as the favorite and WMU as the underdog. I'm not buying it. WMU is a more balanced team with the highest scoring offense in college hockey. They can roll 4 solid lines. They've also beaten much better teams then what BU has played. BU has 13 NHL draft picks. WMU has 8. BU has more higher round draft picks. Both goalies are freshmen... but I'd give the edge to BU's young Russian goalie. WMU has a better team defense. Their offense is also very hard to match up against. WMU has an edge in special teams... especially the PK. Should be a great game.

Nice! Kzoo travels well when the Broncs are skating well. Loved the sports when I was out there. A lot of fun even when they weren’t killing it. This would be huge for recruiting
