I think you'll see it before long. Babs had no problem playing the kids on that line last season. I think right now they're trying to showcase certain players for potential trades, and also trying to figure out which guys they want to keep. I realistically imagine that the kids will form the third line, and some combination of Cleary, Emmerton, Miller, and Bertuzzi will make up the fourth until Helm is healthy. It's coming, but we've all got to be patient. A few more stinkers like last game will undoubtedly speed up the process as well.

I disagree.
In my opinion, Cleary was playing like garbage at a time where he was featured on the top 2 lines (albeit while individuals were injured), and Babcock let him rot there. Could have called someone up, but, nahhhhh

Tatar is benched for Thursday against Phoenix.
Played 9 fourth line minutes (lowest on the team) with zero power play time. Dan Cleary, however, managed to trip himself 4.5 times with nearly 15 minutes of ice time.
When asked what Dan Cleary brings to the team, Cleary apologist Helene St. James said
"Helene St. James ‏@HeleneStJames 6h
“@Walravenjordan: @HeleneStJames name 1 thing Dan Cleary brings besides being "Good Locker Room Guy"?”/2nd leading playoff scorer, 1st v CHI"

A very relevant point as we are still in the playoffs and this is still June.

Great awareness by Weiss to get him that puck.

Using a series of complicated algorithms and sanctimonious ball joint bearings I have been able to successfully deduce that Dan Cleary will score 50 goals this season and be upwards of 78 points. Bargain signing for the wings!Edit: the ball joint bearings will be in danos knees

That prediction is incongruous in more ways than one; not only does its conclusion vary greatly from ESPN's aforementioned power ranking for the team, it also ignores the fact that the Wings have gotten better since last season.

Larry Murphy will immediately assume the position of lead hot dog vendor at all home games. Color- commentary as a free bonus.

Hmmm... A big announcement that they think everyone will like...
Gary Bettman's been fired?!!!

I just spit my beer all over my computer screen!!

Damn shame, he's looked good so far too. Hope he steps into that kid the next go around. I keep waiting for Kindl to figure out that he's huge. Kinda like Jiri Fischer did.

There is no guessing here my friend. Yeah we not be a GM or a head coach, but we have two eyes, and we understand hockey.
You don't need a crystal ball to see that this guy does cannot skate, cannot shoot, etc., to the point that he makes us better.
