The Red Wings made their recalls of six European players official on Saturday, recalling Mathias Brome, Michael Rasmussen, Filip Zadina, Filip Hronek and Gustav Lindstrom from their European-playing teams. As mentioned last weekend at this time, Filip Larsson’s loan to Almtuna IS of the Swedish Allsvenskan has also ended:

  1. Ras played in Austria. In the WJC the Austrian kids were brutal (except one). If these kids are possibly promoted to teams like the one Ras played in, did RAS really have his eyes open? The Captain for Austria was very good but was checked into the ice by opponents. I have to think prospects that play or played in the Swedish leagues have good development. I am going to go on record that Veleno, by the end of this year will be far ahead of Ras , if he is not now. I can not get Ras out of my head.

    Germany fought with 14 skatters on the roster (2nd Game of Back to Back), BIG Thumbs up for effort!! They get a real Goalie and two players back soon. A full roster on Dec 30, so should be a lot better and maybe make the cut and cross over for playoffs.

    Swedes and Red Wing Swedes looked good. Swedes are a bit if a hockey factory, with Finns and Russsia ( Big/Fast).

    Actually all goalies so far are good at the best ) even Askarov (odd multiple styles in the same game ( Good Stand up and then thought he was a DMan))
    Damn kids!!

    So much hockey to watch will need some practise for me, LOL

    Hope your Holiday Season has been good!!

    1. The Austrian World Junior team and the professional league, which is at least 50% imports, aren’t comparable. The Austrian hockey program is OK; the professional league draws foreign-born players from all over the world, and is comparable to the ECHL. The SHL has a lot of foreign-born players laying as well, but it’s more home-grown. It’s a little dangerous to assume that what you’re seeing at the junior level is the same as what the pro leagues consist of.
