South Korea court removes President Park from office
Fri, 2017-03-10 10:28 — editor
Seoul, 10 March, (Asiantribune.com):
South Korea's Constitutional Court upheld the impeachment of President Park Geun-hye removing her from office over a graft scandal involving big business that has gripped the country for months.
Park becomes South Korea's first democratically elected leader to be forced out from office.
A presidential election will be held in 60 days, according to the constitution.
"We remove Park Geun-hye from office," Lee Jung-mi, acting president of the court, told the hearing. "Her actions betrayed the people's confidence. They are a grave violation of law which cannot be tolerated."
The ruling to uphold parliament's Dec. 9 vote to impeach Park over an influence-peddling scandal is the most dramatic twist in a political crisis that has gripped the country for months.
Park, 65, was been accused of colluding with a friend, Choi Soon-sil, and a former presidential aide, both of whom have been on trial, to pressure big businesses to donate to two foundations set up to back her policy initiatives.
She was also accused of soliciting bribes from the head of the Samsung Group for government favors, including backing a merger of two Samsung affiliates in 2015 that was seen as supporting the succession of control over the country's largest "chaebol" conglomerate.
Park has denied any wrongdoing.
Hundreds of demonstrators, both for and against Park, have gathered at the courthouse, which was blockaded by police buses.
Park was stripped of her powers after parliament voted to impeach her but has remained in the president's official compound, the Blue House.
She did not appear in court on Friday.
Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn was appointed acting president and will remain in that post until the election.
The scandal has led to weekly protests by tens of thousands of people, not only those who want Park to step down but also her supporters calling for her to stay on in power.

More and more wines are sold in bottles with screw caps – and since wine is sold with screw caps, there is a lot of controversy about this topic.
If you are pragmatic, you would know, that a screw cap is far more advantageous. It is easy to use and opens without an additional tool. It closes the bottle air tight. It is has less impact in the environment – and the wine will less likely have a cork taint (the wine could still has contact with TCA, while it is produced – but most of the time, the cork is the offender).
Cork is more romantic. More natural. Some people argue, that wine in cork ages better (it has at least a long history of being "ok" in aged wines).
I have had a quite interesting conversation with Thibaut of Mouton Rothschild – as they are also changing some of their lower wines to screw caps. And this discussion just fueled my imagination.
Why are screw caps so controversial?
There are three important points. One is traditionalism – corks were used through hundred of years – maybe even millennia. People are quite resistant to change – even though there are objective reasons for a change. Corks are also relatively cheap – maybe this is the reason for the whole TCA dilemma… some innovations like glass corks (I think these are really cool) were just dismissed, because they were substantially more expensive.
Hence screw caps are the underdog. But I do think the real issue is, that they "feel cheap".
We are in an era, where there are amazing glass bottles and closures – especially the liquor industry is constantly innovating this area. However the wine makers are using usually very cheap screw caps. The result is, that a certain sensual thing in the opening process get lost.
For a cheap bottle of wine, this is ok. However if you have a more expensive product, you like to be "soothed" by a sensual experience.
There are different options, to improve the "look and feel" of screw caps. I would first of all change the thread: more "travel" and a noticeable point, which can be felt, when he bottle is closed or opened. Second: a coating on the thread. There is nothing worse than a "grainy" feeling, when you open a bottle – a coating on the bottle thread or the cap thread would ensure that the opening is smooth and enjoyable. Three: heavier cap – this for sure would increase the cost (probably only marginal), but having a less flimsy, maybe longer cap, would also just improve the experience.
There could be also the option, of using a small disc of cork instead of the usual rubber seal. These small discs would be far cheaper to produce and sterilize than corks, but would also ensure connoisseurs, that only natural materials are touching the wine (on the other hand, you would built in a chance for fail – this would though be an interesting compromise).
I am sure, that there are many further ways, to improve the screw cap.
What do you think dear Reader? Do you have any further ideas? Or do you hate screw caps and only buy wines with corks? Please feel free to comment your thoughts.

Is 'All-Time Antarctic 20.75C Record High Temperature' Just A Sensational Hoax? Station Data Show Only 16C – WMO cites media as source

https://notrickszone.com/2020/02/17/is-all-time-antarctic-20-75c-record-high-temperature-just-a-sensational-hoax-station-data-show-only-16c/
By P Gosselin
In Germany there have been rumors that the alleged Antarctic Seymour Island "all-time Antarctic record high" of 20.75°C set on February 9th is a hoax – originating by the AFP news agency and then spread by The Guardian.
The alleged 20.75°C was supposedly logged by Brazilian scientists and was supposedly almost a full degree higher than the previous record of 19.8C, taken on Signy Island in January 1982, The Guardian blared with much alarm, citing its own chart.
Currently the WMO is seeking to obtain the actual temperature data for Seymour Island, part of a chain of islands off the Antarctic peninsula.
WMO cites media as source!
The WMO website itself is citing the media as its source, writing: "Media reports say that researchers logged a temperature of 20.75°C. Mr Cerveny cautioned that it is premature to say that Antarctica has exceeded 20°C for the first time."
Thermometer data show only 16°C!
But according to German Facebook site Klima.Wissen here and its readers, the "all-time record high reading appears to have its origins from the AFP news agency. It was then picked up by the always climate sensational The Guardian. But now the whole story is beginning to appear as just big sensational hoax.
First WetterOnline.de here shows that the high temperature on February 9th at the Seymour Island station (Base Murambio) was merely 16°C!
There was much ado over the record set at the Antarctic station Esperanza, which was reported to have reached 18.4° on February 7. Here Wetteronline.de confirms it, as does the Argentine National Meteorological Service:
So what's going on at the Seymour Island station? 16°C is not even close to the claimed 20.75°C record reading screamed out bloody-murder by the media across the globe.
Looking at the Accuweather February temperatures, so far we see a high of only 7°C 0n February 9, 2020!
Depicted in tabular form:
Maybe the Seymour station operators breathed on an unofficial thermometer outside, snapped a photo, and sent it out to the media. Who knows.
We'll keep an open mind, though, and see what comes out officially. But it would be awfully embarrassing if the record never happened. Right now the media and alarmists can only hope that the WMO will play along with the hoax and just say it happened so that the global alarmist media complex can save face.
But the thermometer sure is telling us a very different story.
Will take some time to confirm the reading
"We first need to analyse the very important station metadata, e.g., location, type of equipment, measurement practices, calibration of the instruments, etc.) from the researchers involved. Once we have those data, we can begin a formal evaluation as to the observation's validity. Unfortunately, accomplishing those tasks does not happen quickly (particularly with remote polar weather stations) so it will likely be some time before we at the WMO Archive of Weather and Climate Extremes can even give a tentative evaluation of this observation," WMO's Weather and Climate Extremes rapporteur, Randall Cerveny said.

Nine hours away from the nearest large town, Dr Adele Daleke Lisi Aluma speaks to Robert, who manages a small health clinic on an island in the Lake Chad Basin. With paperwork spread around them, she listens carefully he responds to each question: Can you tell me how to recognise the symptoms of a potential polio case? Can you show me the records of any measles cases since I last visited?
In the past, she would be writing down details of the disease surveillance system in this village in a notebook, spending time later typing up her notes, and emailing them to a central database. Today, thanks to the introduction of an electronic surveillance approach for active surveillance and monitoring of disease outbreaks, she inputs Robert's answers directly into an app, allowing for quick, accurate, and up-to-date data collection.
Hundreds of kilometres away in Nigeria, on the other side of the basin, surveillance officer Dr Namadi Lawal also feels the difference that innovative application-based technology has made to operations. For years, his employer, the National Primary Health Care Development Agency, depended on paper-based recording methods.
When the World Health Organization introduced the electronic surveillance (e-Surve) approach, Dr Namadi discovered he was receiving far more accurate information in real time, making his work to defeat the poliovirus more efficient.
"e-Surve is such a wonderful innovation. I can only imagine how much more accurate data I would have collected in a fast and effective manner if I had adopted this approach long time ago," he says.
The e-Surve approach involves the use of a smartphone application to ensure that health workers know what symptoms they should be looking for and how to report suspected cases of vaccine-preventable disease.
After using the application to guide their conversations with health workers, disease surveillance and notification officers send the results of the questionnaire to a central database, where the data can be analysed and sorted by health district.
This is one way to keep track of an outbreak response that covers areas of five different countries, all with their own unique health challenges.
"This is remarkable progress as it shows where we can actually reach for surveillance", said Dr Isaac Adewole, Nigeria's Minister of Health, as he was presented with a dashboard of e-Surve during the recent opening ceremony of the African Regional Certification Commission in Nigeria.
This innovation is particularly important as when cases of disease are not properly reported, an outbreak can be in full swing before a country even realises that there is a problem.
Active disease surveillance, where officers physically go out to communities to speak to health staff and parents, is proven to increase case detection rates. There are hundreds of these frontline workers spread out across the Lake Chad Basin, each conducting multiple visits every month. Before mobile technology, the outcomes of these visits were cumbersome to track, time consuming to catalogue, and difficult to analyse for a prompt response.
With e-Surve, governments and partners in the polio programme and other health programmes can easily see trends, track data, and take action. This encourages a preventive approach to disease outbreaks rather than a reactive one.
In Nigeria, as of May 2018, about 18 840 active surveillance visits to health facilities had been made using e-Surve technology: as a result, over 3000 suspected cases of vaccine-preventable diseases – previously unreported from health facilities – were identified and investigated.
Through innovation, determination, and commitment at all levels, those working to end polio are getting ever closer to their goal.

Multiple dimensions of climate change reveal unappreciated impacts on biodiversity
Biodiversity faces very diverse climatic challenges across regions, such as extreme climate events, novel climates, and the shrinkage or displacement of the climatic conditions
Shrinking ice sheets and melting ice caps are well known consequences of climate change. But a new study reveals that impacts on biodiversity will be just as severe in other regions of the world. When multiple dimensions of climate change are analyzed, different regions emerge as threatened by different aspects of climate change. The tropics, for example, will be highly affected by local changes in temperature and precipitation, leading to novel climates with no current analogues in the planet. These results, recently published in Science, expose the complexities of climate change effects on biodiversity and the challenges in predicting and preserving natural ecosystems in a changing Earth.
"Polar regions have gained substantial attention because they are experiencing a very high temperature increase. Polar climates will shrink in area, providing reduced habitat for arctic and subarctic species, but climate change is more than melting ice. However, warming in the tropics will create entirely novel climatic conditions, currently not experienced by species anywhere else on Earth. Whether species will be able to adapt to these novel climates is an open question. There is a risk of neglecting such vital information because the temperature increase in the polar regions is easier to grasp in comparison", says senior author Miguel Araújo.
Some species face extreme events, others a long move
The study is the first to provide a detailed global overview of the threats and opportunities for biodiversity arising from different measurements of climate change.
Using 15 climate change models used by the IPCC (International Panel for Climate Change), the authors examined how different aspects of change in temperature and precipitation could affect species persistence around the world. They reviewed most climate change metrics available, applied them into the 21st century, and related the emerging climate change patterns to expected threats and opportunities for biodiversity.
"Climate change can be measured in many more ways than is traditionally done in studies of climate change impacts on biodiversity. For example, we can measure whether extreme events will become more or less extreme, whether given climatic conditions will become more or less available, and how far climatic conditions will move from their current locations. When we compare this variety of measurements into the future, it becomes apparent that biodiversity will experience different climatic challenges in different regions. Extreme warming and drying events, for example, are projected to mainly affect the tropics, causing a severe threat for sensitive species. When we consider how far the current climatic conditions will move, the distance is greatest in some regions of cold and polar climates. Species in such regions will thus face greater difficulties in tracking the types of climates they have adapted to", says first author Raquel Garcia who recently completed her PhD thesis at Miguel Araújo's lab.
One cure does not fit all
"These results provide us with a much more nuanced picture of the implications of climate change for biodiversity. Although climate change is a global phenomenon, it is expressed in many different ways, varying from region to region and thus there is no single cure to apply to all areas. We need to consider the consequences according to the main regional effects. The good news is that the better we understand the implications of climate change, the better we can design management actions to preserve biodiversity and ecosystems", says co-author Carsten Rahbek from the University of Copenhagen.
"Improving habitat quality in areas shrinking climatically to help species adapt locally, or promoting landscape connectivity for species that need to move to track suitable climates through time, are sound conservation strategies. Yet, combinations of novel climates and extreme events, such as expected for the tropics, imply that great uncertainties exist regarding species needs in a changing climate. In such cases, climate change mitigation remains a critical conservation option", says co-author Mar Cabeza who is former lab member and now is at the University of Helsinki.
The complexity of nature
"Scientists are far from being able to accurately predict the impacts of global environmental changes on biodiversity and ecosystems worldwide. The actual effects of climate change on biodiversity are extremely difficult to predict. To put it plainly, the level of complexity we have to deal with when trying to predict the future effects of climate changes on species and ecosystems, is unprecedented in natural sciences, and this is why we have to work with simplifications that uncover the major trends of change that are happening in the natural world", says Miguel Araújo.
"While climate change metrics implemented in this study do not account for detailed responses of individual species to climate change, they are likely to remain an important tool in the toolbox for biodiversity impact assessments", concludes Raquel Garcia. "The sheer number of under described and undiscovered species means that assessments relying on available species data represent a very small proportion of the existing biodiversity. For example, global inventories account for less than 20% of all existing insects, a group with considerable influence on ecosystem functioning and services. When carefully implemented and linked to threats and opportunities, measurements of climate change, such as those examined in our study, yield first-order assessments of the potential effects on the biota as a whole".

This week, The Economist celebrated its one-year anniversary as a Snapchat Discover partner. The news heavyweight may stand out on the youthful social media app, but it has drawn over 7 million viewers per month, according to the publisher, with editions that educate readers on serious topics like globalization's losers or the war on drugs.
Those editions are built by Lucy Rohr, a veteran digital producer and editor at The Economist. "I don't think we've come up with the Economist Snapchat secret-sauce recipe yet," Rohr said. "It would be boring if we had." Here's a lightly edited look at what Rohr does in a typical day.
6:30 a.m.: I wake up and resist the urge to check my email, and check the weather instead. I then head out for a run. Prospect Park never ceases to delight me, but I often catch myself thinking about work and ideas for editions while I'm running.
8 a.m.: On the way to work, I check my emails and take care of anything that doesn't require too much thought. I read the Axios newsletter and, Wi-Fi permitting, look at the headlines elsewhere. I find it interesting to compare the front pages of The New York Times with what Fox has up.
8:30 a.m.: Our Snapchat team is based in Bucharest, Romania, and London, so I spend much of my morning in New York online with them before they log off. Today, I spend an hour or so fine-tuning Snaps with our animators and then speak with Charlie Wells, our Snapchat deputy, about a script on e-commerce that he's working on. I check in with our designer and tell him I've decided to nix an edition we were thinking of doing on coal. We discuss what he'll be working on instead.
10 a.m.: I have my weekly call with Tom Standage, one of The Economist's deputy editors and the inexhaustible force behind our digital strategy. Tom is closely involved with the Snapchat team, a bit like an executive producer. We discuss how the current edition (on [Chinese] President Xi [Jinping]) is performing (middle of the road), a better treatment for the first three Snaps of a forthcoming edition on plastic and the Snapchat department's content plan for the rest of the year.
10:40 a.m.: I hop on a call with the animators who have been frustrated with bottlenecks in our production process. We agree to experiment with a few changes that will hopefully improve things. I find these calls hard, but also essential for ensuring that everyone in the department feels like their voices are being heard.
11:30 a.m.: Charlie and I go over the video for the coming week's edition, then talk more about the e-commerce script. Scripting is central to the success of an edition. Our audience on Snapchat is intelligent and discerning. If we don't get the framing right, we tend to get punished for it. Scriptwriting isn't just about writing copy for 14 Snaps. We read widely before putting together what we think is the most important and relevant content for this audience. Our Snaps vary. Some feature a simple question or statement written with the intention of compelling the viewer into swiping up to read an article. Others are "top-Snap only" content. These often have lots of text on them. They're intended to be shareable/screenshot-able primers on a topic. We are thinking constantly about how design and other visuals will bring the Snaps to life.
Noon: Every second week we review the performance of our editions. Often, we focus on one particular detail. This week, we look at cover tile, the images and text that appear on the Discover front page. We're interested in understanding the types of images and copy that have performed best and worst over time.
1 p.m.: I grab a shrimp poke bowl from Urbanspace. While I eat, I read the FT.
2-4 p.m.: Most of the team is now offline for the evening. I try and respond to any email I missed in the morning, and turn my attention to writing a script for an edition on globalization's losers. Then, I write some feedback on Snaps that one of the animators has put up for my review. I jot down a few notes for an upcoming meeting on staffing.
4:30 p.m.: I meet someone from another news organization for a coffee. We talk about running marathons, Filipino food and challenges facing publishers as they try to adapt their content for different platforms.
6 p.m.: I go home and cook dinner. It's my meditation!
8 p.m.: I do another pass of the script I'm working on, then email the team to confirm what they'll be working on tomorrow before I get online. I look at my calendar for the following day to make sure I'm prepared for any meetings.
10 p.m.: In an ideal world, I am in bed with my book!

Movies are at their most powerful when they have their way with us, invading our consciousness in a way that only movies can. To insist that people experience films (or any other art) only on the basis that it is educational and socially important, sours the experience and sometimes limits the visceral, unmitigated power of movies. And when people treat a movie as a sacrosanct historical document, the act of going to see it can turn, quite unexpectedly, into a passive, self-serving political statement. "You have to see American Sniper because it's a tribute to the troops." "I liked The Help, therefore I am not a racist." It can feel like any criticism of such films makes you somehow un-patriotic, or worse yet, un-American (a quality that would certainly not endear you to the likes of American Sniper's hero). However, I will resist the urge to badger you and demand that you see Selma, a film that I absolutely loved, on the basis of its historical or social importance. (Although, it is indeed important in both of those aspects, among many others.) Undoubtedly, Selma will make its way into American History classrooms across the country in the coming years, but for regular movie-going people, it can still be treated as a movie, not just a corrective historical diorama. These two things can be equally important, making it difficult to separate the historical importance of the film from the art of the film. But I will attempt to do that anyway.
Selma pulls you into its world in an emotionally direct way. Scenes of real injustice and tragedy, such as the 1963 bombing of a black church in Alabama (which left four girls dead) are shocking, disturbing, heartbreaking, and provide the necessary jolt of anger and urgency that, I think, is representative of the 1960s and the way people really did feel. The writer-director of Selma, Ava DuVernay, knows how to ratchet up the right amount of empathy from the audience without milking us. In the hands of the wrong director, Selma would be content in its moral certitude. In DuVernay's hands, Selma is urgent and bold and even hopeful. It's beautifully made without seeming too careful.
DuVernay has received a lot of flack for her alleged twisting of historical facts, namely a mischaracterization of President Lyndon Johnson. DuVernay tacitly owned up to this accusation by playing the "I'm-an-artist-I-don't have-to-be-historically-accurate" card. But, allow me to take a moment and list every historical film I can think of in the next 30 seconds that has been accused of deliberately twisting facts: Clint Eastwood's American Sniper, Paul Berg's Lone Survivor, Kathryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thirty and The Hurt Locker, the HBO mini-series John Adams, Disney's Pocahontas, Oliver Stone's JFK, Martin Scorsese's The Last Temptation of Christ and all those other Jesus films where Jesus is played by a pasty-white British guy—he may as well be offering the Disciples some tea and crumpets—and every big-studio movie about the Roman Empire in which the actors brandished English accents. So what's the answer? Do we rail against filmmakers who don't adhere to, as Dickens put it in Hard Times, "the facts; just the facts"? Or do we realize that it's not Hollywood's job to be 100% accurate in historical films?
The answer lies somewhere in-between. There is no formula to nail down how to respond to these movies when they ignore or manipulate facts for their own purposes. Fiction does not have to be dishonest. Good fiction speaks truth in the most invented moments. And if we approach historical films in this way, I think we'll be better served by the filmmakers who are doing honest work even when that work wouldn't necessarily fly as gospel truth. (Isn't it our responsibility to know the facts anyway?) In Selma, a movie that gets so much of the tone of the civil rights movement right, I'm not all that worried about the portrayal of LBJ (played in the film by Tom Wilkinson, who's very good as usual). Johnson doesn't come off that badly. DuVernay depicts him as a shrewd politician who knew that racial equality was morally right, even though he didn't always want to deal with it or with Martin Luther King's constant insisting for swift and sweeping federal action.
Here's an interesting fact: Selma is the only piece of narrative film that's ever been made directly about Martin Luther King. Is that surprising? People are up in arms over the lack of Oscar nominations for Selma, but perhaps we should be more concerned that it took this long to get a movie about Martin Luther King made in the first place.
And it's a knockout of a movie. The performance of David Oyelowo as King is surely one of the best performances of the last year. Oyelowo's power on screen carries Selma, and would have saved it even if it had been a total disaster. The way he spins a phrase of dialogue or belts out a compelling speech—many of which could be rendered cheesy or ineffectual if uttered by the wrong actor—is a marvelous thing to behold. Oyelowo has such conviction, such strength, that one feels captivated by him. He makes it clear how the movement needed a man like King, who may have been arrogant and flawed, but who possessed a sure-footed vision for progress and an unwavering belief in his own dignity.
Duvernay doesn't shy away from King's infidelities and their effect on his wife, Coretta Scott King. (She's played by Carmen Ejogo, who gives an equally strong performance.) And then there's Oprah, who co-produced Selma and who appears in a supporting role as Selma resident Annie Lee Cooper. The movie opens with Cooper bravely walking into the Selma courthouse and applying for a voter registration card. The sleazy government flunky behind the desk denies Cooper her registration after she fails to name all 67 judges in Alabama. (Cooper does manage to produce the number, as well as recite the Preamble to the Constitution from memory; but this isn't enough to satisfy Selma's rigid, racist policies.) I have to wonder if Oprah doesn't enjoy playing frumpy poor women since she's so wealthy herself. (I'm reminded of Marie Antoinette, who thought the poor were so enchanting that she pretended to be a rural housewife, to the point that she had a little cottage built and a field to "work in." It's sort of like having your very own working-class-themed amusement park.) But Oprah is very good, and she gets some moments of triumph, like when she stands her ground amidst the hostile insults of a redneck police officer. And God bless her for helping to get this movie made.
Finally, regarding the Oscar controversy: Selma was nominated for Best Picture and Best Song, but none of the performances were nominated. David Oyelowo and Carmen Ejogo deserved to be recognized by the Academy for their work. Nobody can change that now, but just thinking about their fine portrayals of Martin Luther and Coretta Scott King makes me happy that this movie exists and hopeful about future projects for these two performers and for their director. Every year the Oscars manage to ignore good people and good movies (like The Immigrant, which got nothing). Julianne Moore still doesn't have an Oscar. (Although that will hopefully change this year.) And let's remember that Forrest Gump once won the Oscar for Best Picture. If that's not a travesty, I don't know what is.
Selma was photographed by Bradford Young; music by Jason Moran; with: Common, Ruben Santiago-Hudson, Wendell Pierce, Andre Holland, Tessa Thompson, Lorraine Tousaint, Colman Domingo, Keith Stanfield, Tim Roth, Giovanni Ribisi, Trai Byers, Stephan James, Omar Dorsey, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Alessandro Nivola, Ledisi Young, and Jeremy Strong.

Die Klobenjochspitze oder kurz das Klobenjoch ist ein  hoher Berg im Rofan am Achensee in Tirol.

Obwohl das Klobenjoch nur eine vergleichsweise geringe Schartenhöhe von 86 m aufweist, erscheint der Gipfel während
der Fahrt auf der Achenseestraße Richtung Inntal kurz nach Achenkirch als mächtiger einzelstehender Berg, da man vom Tal aus weder den Verbindungsrücken noch den eigentlichen Rofanstock sehen kann. Vom Gipfel hat man unter anderem einen schönen Blick auf den Achensee sowie in das auf der gegenüberliegenden Seeseite beginnende Falzthurntal im Karwendel.

Wege
Auf das Klobenjoch führt kein markierter Weg, der übliche Anstieg erfolgt von der Dalfazalm. Zunächst wird von der Dalfazalm der Hang auf einem Pfad in nordwestlicher Richtung gequert, dann gelangt man weglos durch eine markante Wiesenmulde hinauf auf den Kamm. Hier wendet man sich nach rechts und gelangt etwas mühsam durch dichte Latschenfelder zum Gipfel. Dabei ist kurz vor dem höchsten Punkt eine etwa 2 m breite Felsspalte (I) zu überqueren.

Out of curiosity, what would be the purpose of this? I get that Ras struggled and Cholowski faded a lot of after a strong start, but do they gain something contractually by them being in the minors? If they're not trying to be good, I guess I don't see the harm, in getting those guys a lot of ice time at the NHL level, which would also allow more ice time for the next group in GR.
Nothing contractually but if Yzerman thinks the team will be bad he may choose to have those kids continue to improve in a better environment.
Only reasons I can think of are growing strength, confidence and some chemistry with one another.
Ras specifically struggled but I think did well in his rehab stint in GR. Maybe give him some time there to get his confidence back
Yzerman is a boss. He just looks cool, confident and smarter than everyone else. I liked Holland fine but Yzerman just seems different. Also, props to him just going up to the stage and saying like 10 words unlike all of the other owners and GMs fumbling through some bullshit about thanking Vancouver.
The 6th slot sorta sucked as it turned out. Fifth would have been exponentially better IMO. Either get Turcotte or field a big trade back offer should Detroit not have been in love with him (seems that may have been the case).
It's clear that Yzerman does not think much of Detroit's D prospects on a whole and more specifically physically dominant ones. It makes sense to get some of those dudes. Seider and Tuomisto are both right shot too which seems harder and harder to find for whatever reason.
I did not like the 6th pick...I still do not really like it but it's OK. Seider seems like he will be good and looks like a good guy. Glad to have him. He's fine.
BUT, picking 6th I hope to get a top pairing D that can be on your first PP, 30-40 goal scoring elite winger or top 2 center. Seider does not seem to fit into that projection by all scout/analysts and even the comments coming from the Wings. I would have preferred Cozen or Zegras. Outside of Larkin and Veleno, there is nothing in the org exciting at center. They desperately need an impact center still. I think Zegras and Cozens have a chance a that. I hope the ceiling on Seider is being underrated at the moment.
Seider does seem like a perfect pairing guy to go with a Hronek type or maybe someone like Torey Krug??
I loved a lot of the later picks (Mastrosimone, Grewe, Philips). Lots of those guys are elite at one or two things instead of OK at all things. Higher upside guys instead of the safe CHL kid that has size but isn't great at anything. Middle 6 forwards or busts that wont ever make the league is more exciting that the career AHLer
Can we get lucky just once and win a fucking lottery? Next year would be great

I wonder if Steve is trying to get a seat at the table with Gardiner. If we could get him at 7x7, I would do it.
It's going rate for a top 4 D. If his physicals check out, I think it's worth it. His game will age better than Meyers. Plus, we have no one like him in the system.
If it takes two more years to be competitive, he will still be in his prime, albeit at the tail end.
You pair him with Seider and then put together Hronek and Cholowski, you have a potentially very good top 4.
I wouldn't want anything to do with Gardiner and think you would regret that deal in no time at all.
Yeah. No thanks.
I sorta like Jake Gardiner. He was a bit of a scapegoat for Leafs fans/media. I think you can win with him in your top 4.
7/7 is fine term/AAV for his age and profile. I think this would make a whole lot more sense if the Wings were 2 years further along in the rebuild and ready to compete right now however. We will have to take a chance and sign someone like him in the coming years to fill out the D corps.

His advanced numbers are solid. Even when he's 5 on 5, his individual metrics were usually higher than the rest of the team.
Plus his offense is not PP reliant.
LeBrun had two notes on Nyquist
- Detroit has talked to him
- San Jose still wants him. That's of note because if he re-signs, that 3 becomes a 2.

Undrafted FA
How'd he go undrafted? Isn't he pretty good?
Undersized and older than a lot of college players.
It seems like our FA activity might be limited to bringing back Witowski and Kronwall, and then pursuing some top 9 depth. If I had to guess, opening night will look something like this:
Bertuzzi - Larkin - Mantha
Hirose - Athanasiou - Zadina
Rasmussen - Nielsen - Donskoi (UFA)
Abdelkader - Glendening - Helm
Witowski
DeKeyser - Hronek
Daley - Green
Ericsson - Kronwall
Bowey
That defense is so cringe...but not as cringe as that 4th line cap number :(
I forgot Svechnikov existed until reading this post

Really hope he can stick around, that injury last year was really unfortunate timing.
DeToxRox - what do you know about Regula? That Top 5 is really solid, plus Berggren if he bounces back from injury. Is he supposed to be in GR this year?

I think Regula will be back in the OHL. He has upside but he is down the pecking order right now.
From the News:
Mastrosimone is expected to miss four to six weeks, but should be ready for the start of camp at Boston University.

Good read from athletic on the wings prospects performance this weekend
It took all of one day at the Red Wings' development camp to reinforce the most frequently repeated disclaimer about the week.
Detroit's development staff was putting the prospects through shooting drills Tuesday when they introduced one that seemed to stymie more than a few of the newcomers. Every player was to skate in from the blue line to take a shot on goal, while shuffling their feet instead of picking either skate up off the ice.
It looked, in a word, unnatural.
The value of the drill, though?
"Not letting the goalie know which shot you're going to do," said Gustav Berglund, a sixth-round pick out of Sweden in last weekend's draft. "Either (a) push shot or pull-in shot. So, like, to trick him."
As for how unnatural it looked: Well, that was the point. At face value, it's hard to imagine a player using the shuffle itself in an in-game context other than maybe a shootout. But the underlying lessons will absolutely be applied at some point. And the fact that so many players looked confused about the mechanics of it was all the more reason to have them do it — to build up those muscles and expand their toolkits in a controlled, low-stakes environment.
"We're working on a lot of things that are uncomfortable for these guys," said Detroit's director of player development Shawn Horcoff. "We're trying to work on skills that are going to help them in the future, skills they're going to need to develop in order to play in the NHL, and they're not there yet. That's just how it works. They're kids. And so, if they're worried about evaluation, they won't try the necessary things. They're scared to make mistakes, so to (speak), so we make that very clear."
That's the eternal ethos of development camp. Horcoff's job is to develop the players, and evaluation, by necessity, plays a part in that. But he's not worried about picking the opening-night lineup in a few months. He won't have to.
What's inevitable, though, is that impressions are made over the course of a week. Even if they're pretty low consequence, they're there. Steve Yzerman and Jeff Blashill were in a Little Caesars Arena suite Saturday for the annual Red & White game, a reminder that, in just over three months, one or two of the prospects playing in front of this late-June crowd could also be on the ice for the home-opener against Dallas.
So, as we run through all of the impressions that were made over the course of the last week, bear in mind that players' respective levels of development play a role in how they look while going through the process.
Here's what stood out from watching Detroit's top prospects this week.
Seider's first live look
By now, you've no doubt seen the videos of Moritz Seider participating in skating drills and looking quite fluid for a player of his size. That was more or less the expectation from last weekend's sixth overall pick, and he lived up to it.
What was a little more surprising was how much offensive instinct he displayed in both the Friday 3-on-3 tournament and the Saturday scrimmage. There's no point in overreacting to a development camp scrimmage, of course, but the defenseman's clear interest in having and making plays with the puck is a good sign for his offensive upside.
"When you have the chance, playing in the O-zone with the puck, why not?" Seider said Saturday. "Everybody wants to have the puck, I think. That's why you play hockey. (I) want to score goals, I want to make nice plays, so I think that's part of my game for sure."
Here are a couple of the shifts that best illustrated that.
This first one shows Seider's game at both ends. First, he helps break up a play defensively with his stick. Then he jumps up into the rush and, when the puck doesn't come his way, calmly transitions back to the point. When the play looks like it's leaving the zone, he gets back on D until the puck comes loose near center ice. At that point, the offense in Seider's game comes out a bit. He uses a blend of his size and skill to gain and maintain possession, makes the smart pass for a zone entry, then gets the puck back and sets up a great scoring chance with a pass to the right circle.
And when the ensuing backdoor pass misses its target, it's Seider on the retrieval to keep possession. A great shift from the big man.
This sequence is just a couple minutes later, and it shows a little more of the puck control skill. Seider retrieves the puck in his own end, is eventually able to shake aggressive forechecker Ethan Phillips and gets through a ton of bodies before setting up another good look at the net.
You can tell it's a summer hockey sequence when he goes through basically the entire defense without much physical contact. And would, say, Quinn Hughes have turned the corner on Phillips after the first cutback? Probably. But this remains a good showcase of Seider's skating and control, and the tools he has at his disposal to keep developing. It's also a good sign that after such a long, action-packed sequence, he's able to finish with the smart, simple play, giving it up to Ryan O'Reilly for a shot on goal.
In the interest of showing the whole picture, though, we can't skimp on showing the end of that shift, when — whether because he was tired or something else — Seider has a less than ideal sequence in his own end.
Here, his clearing attempt doesn't get out of the zone, allowing the opposing team to regain possession. Then, after the attackers win possession off the wall, he gets caught coming across the net to help on the puck carrier, leaving Otto Kivenmaki alone on the doorstep for a pretty one-timer.
Again, just as context suggests the first two clips shouldn't generate too much excitement, the third isn't really a big deal in the grand scheme either. It happens. But these three clips probably represent the highs and lows of the day for Seider. And all told, there were a lot more highs.
"He can skate, he's got some poise, he's got good sense," Horcoff said. "He was really impressive today and throughout the week. … Watching him today and watching him in 3-on-3 — which is natural, he was probably thinking a little more on the offensive side of the puck a bit today, but you can see that the talent level is there. … I'm sure once he gets into real games that actually really mean something, it will be a little different (defensively)."
The standouts
Count Seider among this category for sure, but the best player on the ice this weekend might have been one who sat out the first day for precautionary purposes.
Jonatan Berggren has been out since early last season with a back injury, and he looked a little hesitant at first going through drills when he did take the ice. But I'm not sure anyone looked better between Friday and Saturday. He didn't have any one single defining moment, but shift-by-shift he repeatedly seemed to control or at least impact the play. Three-on-three is a style that should suit him very well as a small, skilled player, but I actually liked him just as much on Saturday, when he maintained possession for long stretches, wheeled around the offensive zone and just tried to make plays. They didn't always work, but the creativity and ability was demonstrable. I don't think you could have asked for anything more from a guy coming off that long an absence.
"Poor guy's been injured here for the last six months or so, but he's worked hard to get himself back in shape," Horcoff said. "You could see his skill level, especially in the 3-on-3 yesterday. He's moving very well and we're looking forward to him having a good year."
"He's very dynamic," 2018 first-round pick Joe Veleno added. "He's crafty with the puck, he makes plays at high speeds, he knows where to find guys on the ice and he's very talented. He kind of seems (like) Johnny Gaudreau a little bit, the way he plays and his style. He's going to be a really good player. He's quick, and I guess the game now in the NHL is all about speed, quickness and skill, so he's pretty much there."
Gaudreau is lofty, but there could be top-six upside there if Berggren can round out his game and withstand the physical demands of pro hockey. That's hardly a given considering he stands 5-feet-10, 181 pounds, but the talent is clear. This is a big year for him coming up.
Despite coming off a back injury, Jonatan Berggren was in control through the Red Wings' weekend scrimmages.
Speaking of Veleno, the 30th overall pick in last year's draft was mostly his usual self as well, looking fantastic in the skating drills all week long and scoring a nice game-tying one-timer Saturday. That all in addition to his highlight-reel shootout goal Friday night.
At one point, a question was posed to Filip Zadina — who sat out much of the week with a hamstring injury — whether he and Veleno could be exciting playing together in Grand Rapids this season if Zadina doesn't make the Red Wings.
"Well, he's a very good player, so if he's going to play as he played the past year, past two years, I think why (couldn't Veleno) make the (Red Wings)?" Zadina said.
The safest bet, of course, is still on Veleno starting in Grand Rapids as he transitions to pro hockey. But there's a pretty high-profile endorsement for him a couple months before training camp. After Zadina takes a quick return trip to the Czech Republic, the two are going to train in Detroit for the rest of the summer, which has to be welcome news for those who saw how much Dennis Cholowski got out of that program a year ago.
The other player with a reasonable claim to the best overall weekend would be Taro Hirose, who did a little of everything and stood out for all of it. He had great goals in the 3-on-3 tournament and shootout, plus a nice assist in the 5-on-5 scrimmage. It had to be what the Red Wings were hoping to see from a player who will be in the hunt to make the big club in September. He turned 23 Sunday, so he was a lot older than many of the players out there, but his skill and hockey sense were right where he left off at the end of last season. His fellow late-season add to Detroit, Ryan Kuffner, was also impressive, as you'd expect from a player with NHL reps. Kuffner's likely ticketed for Grand Rapids, and a strong week of development camp certainly doesn't change any projections, but it might help him personally as he prepares for camp.
Kivenmaki had several strong moments during the scrimmages, with the one-timer goal as his highlight and the shootout game winner Saturday as a capper. Arguably bigger than any of that, though, was him saying he had added eight kilos in the weight department (about 18 pounds) since last year. For a 5-foot-8 player who now checks in at 154, those 18 pounds are substantial. He still needs to add more, of course, but it's a great sign for a player who routinely showed his skill throughout the week.
"You can tell his hockey sense and his talent level is high," Horcoff said. "I just think he needs to continue to get stronger. … He really finished strong in the second half of the season in Finland … but he played a lot. He was running on the first-line power play, he was (getting) top-six minutes. That's the biggest thing. I think he believes and he knows, the way last season finished, how he can play, how he can produce."
Kasper Kotkansalo showed some flashes of offense in addition to strong skating through the week.
Boston University defenseman Kasper Kotkansalo was critical of his own 2018-19 season when he spoke with reporters in the middle of the week. "Not good," was his blunt assessment, when asked how he felt about the campaign, calling it "tough" from both team and individual perspectives. He was especially disappointed with inconsistency from himself and wants to work on his skating.
The silver lining, for him, is that he was noticeable from start to finish in Detroit. He moved well, and showed much more ability in the offensive zone than his 0 goals and 11 assists this season would suggest — including a snipe of a shot in the 3-on-3 tournament after forcing an offensive zone turnover.
Defense is the core of his game, and that's where his case for a pro contract will have to begin when the time comes. But the mobile, puck-moving skills he showed between Friday and Saturday would serve him well in making a more well-rounded pitch.
"He looked great," Horcoff said. "He looked great all week in camp. To his credit, he stayed over in Boston (at Boston University) and trained, he's trained hard; he came to camp in great shape, he's leaner, looks fast and he's skating better out there. … I'm looking forward to watching him bounce back this year, because he's right, last year wasn't as good as he can be, but that happens. You face a lot of adversity. He seems to have handled that well."
Six-foot-six Danish defenseman Malte Setkov appeared to have bulked up a bit and showed off his skating through the week, and the Red Wings are hoping to see him get stronger to shore up the defensive zone as he plays in the SHL this year. They want him killing off cycles, clearing out the net front — the kind of things that wouldn't have really shown up through the drills or skill-focused scrimmages but could make or break him as a prospect. Under-the-radar 2018 third-rounder Seth Barton had a couple flashes this week, too, and is one to watch going forward. He needs to add some serious strength, at 6-feet-3 and just 174 pounds, but the Red Wings were really happy with his season at UMass-Lowell. They particularly like his vision and puck-moving ability.
And last but not least, 2017 sixth-round pick Jack Adams had a good camp at just the right time. He's going into the big third year of college (a year after which many drafted players tend to sign) with some big goals in the 3-on-3 tournament, including one in which he used his stride to out-skate Veleno, then released an impressive shot for the breakaway goal. His college numbers to date don't jump off the page, and in the end that will matter the most, but he picked a good week to stand out.
"I thought he played great," Horcoff said. "He obviously looked like he's in better shape, he's skating better. You can tell he can score. He just has to keep doing what he's doing. Keep working, and I think his role will develop as time goes on in college."
Honorable mention to Chase Pearson, who has the tools to be an interesting defensive center in Detroit down the line and showed some offense, too, in the scrimmages.
The 2019 class
Finally, with so much of Detroit's 2019 draft class coming from Europe, development camp was a first chance to get a look at most of them.
The toughest news out of Saturday, of course, was the broken ankle that second-round pick Robert Mastrosimone suffered during the scrimmage. That's a really tough way to end the week he was drafted, and puts a significant hamper on his ability to train going into his freshman year at Boston University. He did have his moments in the sun during camp, including a really pretty shootout goal in the 3-on-3 tournament.
Finnish defenseman Antti Tuomisto, who the Red Wings took at No. 35 overall, has a heavy shot but will need to work on getting more fleet of foot. He's likely a longer-term prospect, though — after going back to Finland for this season, he has his sights set on the college route, meaning it could be as many as four years until he turns pro. I did see him quickly shut down one play behind the net early in Saturday's game, and there were flashes throughout the week of offensive potential, including Friday's 3-on-3 tournament. Let's see what the picture looks like when he can add more lower-body strength to better propel his big frame.
Swedish defenseman Albert Johansson was essentially as advertised — a really smooth skater who you can see the offensive upside for, especially if he does grow an inch or two like the Red Wings think he could. He's pretty thin at this point, though, and physically he will need some time. But he did stand out in the drills, and especially during 3-on-3 play, because of his mobility.
Third-round pick Albin Grewe has already made a name for himself, and he furthered it with a physical game in the scrimmage. That's no surprise at all. It would be wise, though, not to pigeonhole him too much as an agitator, because he really does have the skill needed to advance up the ranks. His shot stood out over the course of the week, and he had a nice assist in the 3-on-3 game despite having defenders on either side of him in the slot. There's polishing to be done, but there could be a top-nine player there.
"He's a guy that you're really going to notice even more in games," Horcoff said. "His competitiveness sticks out, and I think you saw that today."
Fourth-rounder Ethan Phillips was all over the ice as well. He's going to Boston University in the fall, and college is realistically the right path for his development because he's really thin. But if he can get strong enough to avoid getting pushed around, there's a lot to like about his game.
Fifth-rounder Cooper Moore said he thought his development had been "behind the curve a little bit" relative to the other players at development camp, which is part of the reason the longer-view college route was the right move for him as well. He'll go to the BCHL before heading to North Dakota, giving him lots of time to hone his skills. He does move well out there, and at 6-feet-1 he has the physical tools to develop into a well-rounded player. Sixth-rounder Elmer Söderblom had multiple noticeable moments in the scrimmages and moves great for his size, while Gustav Berglund is another mobile, two-way defender to monitor.
The reality-check moment of the weekend, though, came after all the play was done, when Horcoff was asked what he knew Saturday afternoon that he hadn't known when the week began.
"Not much," he said, once more driving home his point that the week was more about education than evaluation.
And true enough, any showings this week — good or bad — will likely be wiped away within a day or two of arriving in Traverse City this September. Maybe even sooner.
But just as the prospects left Detroit knowing a little more about how to train, how to eat and how to practice, the Red Wings' development staff left with just a little bit more insight into where their players are in their respective progressions.
"I think nowadays, (in) the game of hockey, the best players in the world are the hardest-working players in the world," Horcoff said. "It's a 365-day a year job now. With these kids, a lot of times, you're trying to get that across to them as soon as you can. (These have been) long days for them. But they put in a really good effort."

I'm surprised that we haven't done much yet. That said, I do think Yzerman is waiting for a truly desperate team calls to dump salary.
Good depth move. Doesn't sound like Rybar is coming back so this gives Larsson help in GR.
Big hopes for Larsson. Best goalie in the Swedish junior league as a double underager at 18 y/o. Best goalie in the USHL as a 19 y/o in his first year on NA ice. Top 3 goalie in the NCAA as a 20 y/o freshman. Not bad for a 6th round draft pick.

Give me Filp on a 2 year deal to bridge the gap until Veleno over overpaying for a mid to top level guy and destroying our cap space while we wont compete. I like these moves, keep the rebuild next year and by the time the kids are ready in 1-2 years, bring in a top FA to join them with the cap space you will have
In next 2 offseasons, the following will come off the books
Next offseason - Green (5.375), Ericsson (4.25), Daley (3.16), Howard (4), Franzen LTIR (3.95), Oullette Buyout (.206)
In two Offseason - Helm (3.85), Filp (3), Glendening (1.8), Bernier (3), Z LTIR (6.08) and Weiss Buyout (1.67)
That is an additional ~17 mil next offseason (with 3.95 off LTIR) and another over ~14 mil the following offseason (with 6.08 more off of LTIR). We already have about 9 mil in cap space this season too. Now sure, that ~40 mil will need to get us a new goalie, and AA, Mantha and Bert will get upgraded deals. But really we are not losing much production with that 31 mil gone.

I would expect next year we look at forward something like
Bertuzzi-Larkin-Mantha
AA-Nielsen/Filp-Zadina
Hirose-Nielsen/Filp-Helm
Abby-Glendening-De la Rose or Ehn
Think Veleno, Rasmussen and Svech start in GR. Maybe Zadina does too if we take on a veteran high cap hit guy from a team to pick up more picks or prospects. Just think he is too talented and with the lack of anyone jumping out to take that spot, he makes the team.
