Yes it makes sense to pair them and this carry over to GR. I was not thinking of that and I still think Edvinsson and Johansson are first pair but likely once 100% recovered and ready Edvinsson is NHL bound quick. So Johansson needs a partner then and maybe these two can move up to top pair? Hopefully these two form a strong pair in GR however they are used. Thanks for this.

Tuomisto left his spot on Denver’s national champ team to play in Europe to improve his game. Apparently his strategy has paid off as he’s a sure bet to make GR.

Notable: Wings prospect LD Shai Buium age 20 6ft 3 220 also played on the Denver championship team with RD Tuomisto.

4 Extra large D-men are slated skate for the Wings in a couple of years 6-3 Buium 6-4 Wallinder 6-4 Edvinsson and 6-5 Tuomisto AND the great looking D prospect list goes on and on.
