G Joey MacDonald placed on waivers

I think that this is kind of spelling the end of Mickie-Dees in the Wings organization and that they really kind of want him to be taken off waivers. Holland said there isn't room for him in Grand Rapids and that they are looking to loan him to a different AHL team or to a team in the ECHL...

Holland said it would be difficult for MacDonald to get playing time with Grand Rapids of the American Hockey League. The Red Wings will try to get MacDonald hooked up with another AHL team before the league's Thursday roster deadline or look for an opening in the East Coast Hockey League.

I know it is more for playing time than anything else, so that he would be ready incase Oz or Hasek wen down again. But I think that they would call Howard up over MacDonald at this point in that situation after the Philly game.
