I can hardly wait to see him in NHL with the Red Wings

[@OurFamilyInMotion]

Hoping to see Johansson, Mazur, Wallinder, and Soderblom get a few games with the Wings this month.

[@alishareadsbooks]

I think they used all their call ups for the rest of the year. Unless it’s for an emergency call up if someone gets hurt.

[@joshuafyfe9749]

Not happening unless 4 Red Wings get hurt. Wings have used their 4 post deadline call ups.

[@gilly7038]

Brother theres 4 games left

[@Clownconspirator]

the time is now

[@jimlewis1992]

Needs to make the big leagues this year. No longer waiver exempt.

[@jeremykraenzlein5975]

While I was disappointed when I heard of the Hronek trade, I am starting to see the sense of it. With Edvinson and Johansson presumably joining the Red Wings next year, along with Seider and re-signed defensemen Walman and Maata, Hronek would hardly have gotten any playing time next season, and his numbers presumably would have suffered as a result. Better to trade him now, before that presumable loss in trade value.

[@righteous247]

Aljo is an assassin. He should be the next call up or fighting for a spot next season

[@deseanmcmillan708]

Is the redwings going to sign him

[@darkphoenix2]

Seider-Walman, Chiarot-Edvinsson, Johansson-Maatta, Wallinder #7. That's a good defense for next year.

[@JarradBruessel32]

Wallinder needs a year in the ahl.

[@MagicMan11130]

Yeah, you don’t scratch a first year player over playing 24 minutes a night in GR.

[@darkphoenix2]

@@MagicMan11130 I meant he would be the first call up in case of injury, they don't need to carry 7 D at all times

[@MagicMan11130]

@@darkphoenix2 that makes more sense. I think realistically Johansson and Wallinder will start in GR. Johansson would get a call-up at some point next year. Wallinder plays the whole year out. If we don’t acquire another RD in the off-season, then maybe Johansson starts on the 3rd pair even though he’s a left shot.

[@brettw8744]

Not sure who we keep as #7 but this what I thought of too. Just too bad we will have two guys in their off hand. Maybe Chiarot gets moved for a RHD but that’s require some cap retention probably

said it before these kids are about ready now not 10 yrs in the dam minors when there still in there 20’s not 30-35 yr olds shit cmon man why draft when there just sent down clueless how the nhl works! 🤷‍♂️🤔great example alex chaison guys 32 yrs old finally gets a break guys gonna be a minor leaguer the rest of his career he has over 100 nhl goals and still can’t secure a nhl spot?!🤔🤷‍♂️
