BigTex 1 Report post Posted October 1, 2007 (edited) Choices are 1. Igor Grigorenko 2. Matt Ellis 3. Mark Hartigan 4. Aaron Downey Maybe take the waivers situation into account if you want, but I'd say answer this from the perspective of who would be most helpful on the Wings roster. Add comments as you see fit. Hope this turns out right, I've never done a poll before I answered Grigs. He can get conditioning with the Wings during practice, get to know his teammates, build some chemistry, and work his way up the lines. It was a tough choice btw him and Downey, who would add more toughness. With Drake here already, I chose Grigs. Downey would be my first callup if we needed another forward.

redwingfan19 293 Report post Posted October 1, 2007 Hmm look at this: Early look at line up? "The Red Wings' practice has just started. The team hasn't announced its final roster cuts, but on the ice right now are Aaron Downey and Matt Ellis as part of a full team skate. No Igor Grigorneko. No Mark Hartigan. If this means what it looks like, then Grigorenko and Hartigan are starting the season in Grand Rapids. It also means that the Red Wings will start the season with 14 forwards, keeping Downey and Ellis. Downey's emergence mirrors the success of Brad Norton out of training camp last year. Norton made the squad as an enforcer, which is Downey's specialty. Norton lasted six games before being demoted to the Grand Rapids Griffins for the remainder of the season. Chris Chelios is the only other player not on the ice." I would rather have Grigs/Downey IMO, but im sure if grigs tears it up in GR he would most likely make his way up to the team.
