I can definitely see Raymond and Zadina working some magic together in the near future

Wow this guy is gonna be one of the best of the draft.

One thing I love about Raymond is you really do see the Hockey Sense. He’s so predictable and everything is very methodical, calculated, and planned. Makes for a great watch. When you can watch film of the ice, and see the entire rink, and then correctly predict what a guy is going to do with the puck right before he does it... Makes for a very great watch as an evaluator. Love to see this. Great stuff.

If he can fine tune his shot, he will turn out to be one of the best players in this draft a few years down the line. Hope to god Stevie takes him a 4.. we need RHF badly.. well.. forwards in general, but RHF would be preferred. Also seems to play well with Jonatan Berggren (DET prospect) 😈 Hope to see them playing together in the near future 😃

Damn Söderstrom (#9) Raymond (#18) and Holtz (#10) are SO fun to Watch

Come on wings draft this guy

Stevie Y continues to show he’s as good at player scouting, as he was a player.. (I mean, that Lightning team that just won the Cup is essentially all his guys). You could argue that Yzerman had the toughest pick in the draft at #4. The first 3 picks were a given. The only ? there was who would go first, Byfield or Stutzle ? After the Top 3 we’re talking any of the following could’ve been picked at #4 ; Raymond, Rossi, Perfetti, Drysdale, Holtz, Lundell, Quinn... No one would’ve fell out of their chairs the least bit if any of those names were called at 4 (especially the first 5 names). But this is why Yzerman got it right with picking Raymond, bc of this key attribute that Raymond posses, the ability to drive the play. Players like Holtz, Perfetti & Quinn are more of the complimentary player type. They’re not so much “play drivers”, as they are the snipers that are the beneficiary of a player like Raymond, who has created the time & space for them. Rossi can drive the play and I think will be a very good player, I just think Raymond is more the rich mans version of him. Raymond has plus+ skills in the following areas ; Skating, puck-handling, vision, passing, puck protection & shooting. Players like Holtz & Rossi are further along in their development and I believe they will make a bigger impact than Raymond, even as soon as next season in the NHL. But long term, Raymond will be the better player. Holtz & Rossi will probably be in the NHL next year, and I can say with certainty that Raymond will either have another season in Sweden or be moved to the AHL. But there’s no rush at all to get Raymond in a Wings uniform (other than excitement). The Wings have to get a better foundation in place for Raymond to come to after he’s had more seasoning. Yzerman will make that happen and has already got that process in motion with the signings of Stetcher, Greiss & Ryan. The return of Hockeytown is coming faster than most know.. and that’s bc of an original member, Yzerman. The Wings have been rebuilding now for several years, but I believe when Yzerman took Raymond, they just got the all important forward that they can build their entire offense/team around for years. I think Raymond will go down as a top 3 player in this draft, and a perennial All Star.

Wings won’t need to take him but still a favourite prospect of mine. I’m sure he’ll have an elite career

Welcome to Detroit brother

So excited to see you play for the Wings!

Future hall of famer. - Daniel flood 2020

Love this pick for the ref wings. Love Luca Raymond

I’m just imaging a top powerplay with Raymond on the left side and zadina on the right, seider up top, Rasmussen in front at 6’6 and svechnikov in the middle/roaming.

So TORN between Drysdale and Raymond for Detroit at #4. Steve probably is doing all nighters to figure out which player is more BPA. I think Raymond is similar to a talent development as to Artemi Panarin even though most compare Lucas to Mitch Marner. Raymond plays with more controlled anger and would drop the gloves if necessary for a teammate than Stutzle ever would. Red Wings retrospective have to compare Raymond to Tatar's aggressive tempo out on the ice and work to dig the puck out.

Raymond - Veleno - Zadina is gonna be our future 2nd line

Officially a Red Wing! Let’s go!!

Okay the play that starts at 6:12, when he goes in the corner and does a little stutter step that sends the defender flying... He was a mental step or two ahead of the guy. Just insane talent this kid has and I am stoked he's coming to Detroit.

Absolute goat

He's a stud

Stevie y gotta great pick here. Wings gonna be good soon. Make Datsyuk proud.

I think one of the safer picks in the draft with good skating, defensive abilities and a high compete level. Moves fluidly in the offensive zone and has good vision and awareness to set up others. I just don't see the PURE finishing ability. I think if Perfetti can continue to improve the skating and ability in tight spaces, which scouts say he did last year, his ceiling is higher. Thoughts? (Ducks fan unsure who they should pick here)

Possible Red Wings first round draft pick. Holtz too. They could aslo go with Cole Perfetti

I wanted Detroit to take Marco Rossi after watching video of him doing things that reminded me of Pavel Datsyuk, but when the Wings took Raymond I looked at video like this one and changed my mind. Still think Rossi will be a star but I think Raymond may be the better player in the long run.

Raymond has a lot of qualities that remind me of Steve Yzerman.

His creativity is through the roof. Only thing stopping his execution is his experience. In time, he’ll prove to be a 1st or 2nd overall pick.

Welcome to the winged wheel!!!

Where do you find this footage? Is it edited from full game replays? Thanks

Welcome to Detroit 🙌

Imagine sens fans a top 6 of Raymond-Stuzle-Batherson Tkchuck-Brown-Duclair I'm high on brown I think he can still develop into a great center, hes been showing steady progress.

Right handed Jack Hughes

Welcome to the Red Wings!

Who's a Wings fan and is here a year later?? LGRW

Reminds me of Zetterberg when he was young

He’s going to be better than Marner imo

He really does look like marner when he has the puck, pass first kind of guy, I’m not thrilled but I’m not as disappointed anymore.

Raymond is still my top 3 and Lundell is my top 5

LGRW!!!

Weird that they didn’t say how old he is🤷🏼‍♂️😂

Welcome to Detroit

He’s going to jersey

makes me sad he’s 17 im 17 i play hockey he’s legit being drafted
