Axel Sandin-Pellikka Could Lead Detroit's Offence

[@thenickfoxx]

Some Wings fans have this notion stuck in their head that ASP needs to work on his defensive game alot. I pay to watch SHL games and I keep telling them his defensive game is not an issue at all. The only thing he needs is a bit more size which can be fixed easily. You aren't bringing him up to play shut down. You're bringing him up to be an absolute offensive nightmare for opposing teams. He's also a rotating quarterback and that one of the best one timers I've seen from a defenseman. The kid could make a jump to the NHL next season. Whether it be opening night or mid way through the season. He has shown north american ice is not a problem for him.

[@swen1208]

even then, we already have the guy who can mitigate ASP's size. His name is Simon Edvinsson, he was made to be the perfect partner for ASP.

[@robjohnson5872]

Can't remember when I have seen a Junior so comfortable with the puck under all situations. I was thinking of who it reminded me of that could almost be standing still and yet create space and or opportunity with checkers coming at you. Can't imagine he won't make the team right out of Junior. Thanks for this video. I'll try not to miss another Sweden game!

[@jeffmackin684]

Can NOT wait to see how this kid plays in Grand Rapids. One season on NA ice before joining Seider and Edvinsson, and Detroit's D-core is going to be lovely

[@gp2031]

He’s going straight to Detroit

[@davidkruse4030]

He is going to earn a spot on the wings next year. He is already playing in a men’s league.

[@nairnodrums]

@@gp2031 I wish he would, but I think it would be wise to see how he copes on the smaller pad in GR before the leap. You never know, he might bounce into the Wings before the end of next season.

[@Al_Andaloussi85]

​@@gp2031Certainly not as David said he still needs to work on his defensive game before being able to play a significant role for the Red Wings

[@headintheclouds6935]

That Hronek trade is finally starting to work out for Detroit

[@Remmy0930]

ASP fantasy card owners in HUT chose wisely lol. Dude started at an 85 OVR and is now sitting at a 91 after that hatty.

[@jacobbooms3213]

93 now

[@ericscottstevens]

Probably the closest prospect to Quinn Hughes since the 2019 draft year. This could fulfill that second line pairing RHD for LHD Edvinsson who is more of a blue line defender. PP QB is ASP's #1 priority being that right hand shot and speed to pinching in on the puck when opponents try to clear the puck.

[@omgworkffsugh]

The way he controls the puck reminds me of Kane.

[@bajjanitor]

Kane was his favorite player growing up so that's fitting.

[@BRaymondVan]

Just remember rafalski came into the league and then played himself right back out of it. Had to go to Sweden for a few years.Then finally came back when he was older. Small player similar skill set. Let's hope that that's not the case with this young kid. Red wings definitely need him now!

[@BrentNinedorf]

Would be OK if his lower end of possibilities is like Rafalski. Too bad he had back issues. Love Rafalski.

[@b1ackm4gic]

Wings had Ghost on the half wall to start last year and he went on a tear, i think they'd use ASP the same way not up top

[@miketython8827]

He would have more puck time and agency up top though. Being on the side would limit him more. I think he would create a bigger upgrade up top over Mo than on the wing over Cat or Raymond. My analogy would be that you wouldn't put Steph Curry in the corner and hope he gets open for a 3 when he can create so much more by handling the ball as much as possible

[@Lamar-t5s]

oh yeah baby im early early lets go Red Wings

[@mustus71]

Let him develop the right way and he’ll be a stud

[@davidkruse4030]

What does that mean the right way? He is playing in Sweden for a reason bud. He is coming up next year. This over rip the prospects only works on goalies.

[@mustus71]

@ let him get a season of North American hockey and get a call up here and there you already got seider. Or rush him like the oilers did with broberg. Quite frankly idgaf what y’all do. Rush him from the big ice then bud. He’s a smaller player too 🤷

[@doughunks4221]

I agree that the SHL is not the NHL but he won't sit in the AHL for long if at all next year.

[@ajmanks]

Man we are about to have the best right side of defense in the nhl seider and asp sheesh 2 top 2 potential guys its like when san jose had burns and karlsson

[@jasonkemppainen4731]

Props to the seamstress who has to lay that baller of a name out 😂🎉

[@ermola32]

Hello. Please, tell me how I can fix the problem with views on EP? They just stopped showing

[@patrousseau1828]

time to come west young man. should go right to detroit in 25/26 but maybe a half year stint with GR. should stand out nicely with Seider and Edvinsson and the eventual fourth guy in the top two pairing. fun prospect who has more size than height which will help him. only scratching the surface here.

[@Detroitgondoit]

Push him straight to the big leagues like you did with Raymond and Sieder.

[@Plastpackad]

well... Seider played one season in AHL and one in SHL before NHL and Raymond had one season in SHL before the big league. I'd rather see him grow a bit more before going to NHL. I think SHL is a better development league than AHL.

[@martinkealey03]

How would you rank Pellikka, Parekh, Yakemchuk and Willander

[@EliteProspectsHockey]

Parekh, Yakemchuk/ASP, Willander.

[@krimsonshadow94]

With losing Wall and Ghost, we need Axel to come sooner rather then later, i doubt he'll pull a Raymond but it would be nice

[@davidbeaudry2476]

And Montreal drafted Reinbacher over him, michkov or Leonard. Crazy to think about

[@dgwow]

But who cares, we have Hutson who is better than all these guys (except Michkov), don't think you want two smallish similiar offensive defencemen. And we have no one like Reinbacher in the system, who will be perfect for Hutson.

[@dgwow]

Looks pretty good, he's no Lane Hutson though

[@bone-snypa]

Nice

[@BRaymondVan]

I don't think prospects should be over ripened. That is a huge flaw of the detroit red wings and has been for years. I do however think that they should be ripened, just not over ripened ! So yeah, play it by ear in camp. Play in GR if necessary. As soon as he looks comfortable moves on to the n h l asap !!!

[@holliefitzzz]

im assuming once we have any chance of making the playoffs they will bring up the kids faster than they have in previous years but i might be wrong

[@ristorantanen5769]

When i said that this could be the year Red Wings plays a final again ppl laughed at me But i still believe it

[@arodri313]

Lets Go Red Wings!

[@greyaltemeyer17]

Could you do a Cole Hutson analysis video? He has been dominating recently.

[@justinshields3819]

If Detroit is a train wreck for this year and next season and finally gets some draft lottery luck. Detroit's future line-up could look like this in 2029-2030 season: Kasper Mckenna Raymond Mazur Larkin Buchelnikov Lombardi Danielson MBN Finnie Plante Kiiskinen N.D. Nilsson Edvidsson Seider Schaefer ASP Buium Tuomisto Wallinder Cossa Augustine

[@Al_Andaloussi85]

With how Yzerman is working there's almost 0 chances that McKenna would be a Red Wing.. there's still a possibility this year for Eklund-Smith/Hensler but next year I don't see them being at that spot anyway..

[@holliefitzzz]

mckenna has a sister who plays so hopefully a PWHL star of the future too. the only nhl/pwhl duo i know are the compher siblings, one of whom plays for wings of course

[@rogash1751]

Isn't it funny for you to make up such unrealistic options? Even imaginary ones. Well, there's no chance that Schaefer and McKenna will end up in Detroit.

[@Detector1977]

Button trained to say Skellefteå...

[@thestifmyster1]

He needs time on NA ice before hitting the show

[@hampusjohansson-s7o]

Dude is 1st in points for defencemen in the 2nd best league, with 3 season experience in a league with average of 25 years old at 19 years of age.

[@thedrsh]

Trade him to the sharks with a second round pick for future considerations. Seems like the best move for him!

[@jefjon423]

Hilarious and original

[@joechrisman4661]

Nah, we're good 👍

[@miketython8827]

You could put Zadina on a line with Gretzky and he wouldn't do shit lol

[@hockeytalk13]

Nah, that toxic wings organization will turn him into a non point producing defensive Dman in no time
