Of course, the only one to have really contributed to the Wings so far
has been the Falcon!
 
I would agree that both moves are encouraging. Big strong, young
defenseman and young high powered center. Potential future stars for
the Wings. And the added benefit of showcasing the college hockey
system for development.
