Super spicy take from Craig Button here. Love it.

Red Wings Waive Ericsson, Shuffle Roster [DetroitHockey.Net] This s*** is more convoluted than the plot of Lost.

He'll probably play because Erne was put on IR.

I think he will this time. He should absolutely be in the lineup over, basically anyone in put bottom six... The Griffins play again tomorrow night, so I think he'll make his Red Wings (long awaited) season debut tonight (hopefully)...

Never thought of him as a modern day warrior with a mean, mean stride

HYPE! LGRW!

Could be. The jury's currently out tho. It's possible Yzerman is just trying to create a bit of roster flexibility and that sending Ericsson to Grand Rapids won't actually be a thing. Sounds like Ericsson's hip is bad enough that he pretty much can't play anymore (as many of us had assumed), so regardless of how this plays out, he's not going to be a factor on the ice anyway. With that being the case, I think I'd feel kinda icky about basically pressuring him into retirement. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They should immediately give Mike Green his #52, so Mike Green can go back to being Mike Green from Washington. Why? Number Mojo, that's why! (we need that extra 1st round pick at the TDL, so Green needs to get about 50 points)

"The Red Wins Way" is out the window! All Hail Steve Yzerman!

Plus Biega was sent down (according to Capfriendly.) So that leaves 7.

Holy, WTF!?!?!

Ah right. Freddy comin for you!

1.Hate the Leafs 2. Hate Mathews 3. What does Mathews "being one of the best" have to do with Leon? "One of" means one of several right. As in more than one? So even if it went McD>Mackinnon>Draisaitl>whoever>who the *** ever>some other peeps>Mathews, would he not still be one of the best? Love the Button trolling though. He also said earlier today that the Leafs aren't cup contenders.

Pointless recall unless they actually play the poor fuker this time.

I don't really have a horse in the race to be honest. I just love how indignant Button got about it. He acted like the mere thought that Matthews was a top player was completely absurd, but he's the only one who mentioned Matthews in the first place. Plus I can't wait to see how Maple Leafs' fans react to this perceived slight.

Score more? I think Craig's whole point is that Draisaitl scores a bunch anyway and is a Selke caliber two-way forward. And he's genuinely got a point. Matthews doesn't really play defense. Draisaitl is like 2008 Henrik Zetterberg, but in Peter Forsberg's body.

Well, we're gonna find out real soon...

What the f***? Is this for real? He will obviously clear, but I assume he would just retire rather than reporting to GR?...

Getting f***ed up on a Tuesday!
