  1. The Detroit Free Press posted This article. I'm not to surpirised by the names that he singled out. It's also encouraging to hear that nobody played poorly. Also glad to hear that McCollum is playing well, I hope his transaction from juniors to pro goes as smoothly as possible, and as far as Lashoff and Raedeke; I wonder if they are going to play for the Griffins next year or go to Toledo. Any thoughts?


  2. he'll occasionally stand up for himself so that's a big fat NO

    Wilson vs. Penner

    Not only that but he has a history of concussions.

    I always had high hopes for Grigorenko, but his English was terrible and he was frustrated by that and a few other things, which is why he opted to leave the NHL. I wish he would come back though because he could be like another Ville Leino, only with more balls.

    Has anyone considered Krys Kolanos? He's a UFA, shoots right, stands up for himself, has a set of hands and would be VERY cheap. If anyone would be the next Dan Cleary it'd be this guy...

    As far as Kolanos, I've heard that he's got some attitude problems. If I recall, he was signed by the Wings a few years back and he didn't crack the roster so they sent him to G.R. and after a week or so he got pissed because he thought that he signed to play for Detroit not the Griffs so he went and played the rest of the season in Switzerland. Either way I doubt he would come back to Detroit after that. If I remember right I think he had a concussion while he played for the Coyotes too and that kind of stalled his career.

  4. RedWingsCentral.com isn't working for me right now but if you go to their site they have an excellent scouting report on him.

    Yeah, it's not working for me either, (I was going to post a link to his bio) I got a 'Server Not Found' message.


  5. I've made to a few Griffins games the past few years and he is either invisible or the best D- man on the ice. Consistency is probably something that has kept him from cracking the Detroit lineup. He's also known to struggle with turnovers which likely isn't helping either.

    Kindl's AHL Stats aren't spectacular, and his plus/minus isn't pretty (in 07- 08 it was -34, which is most likely related to the turnovers).
