deker 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2009 Also Cleary will play despite not practicing today. http://redwingscorner.blogspot.com/ If everything continues as it's been going, Drapes will have a good amount of time to fully heal before coming back to the lineup. Still, Darren Helm has made it awfully hard for Babs to sit him down. When Drapes gets back, it'll probably be at someone else's expense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
b.shanafan14 733 Report post Posted April 20, 2009 Helm is here to stay. His energy, speed and physicality is tremendous. Its really hard to mess with a winning lineup, period. Draper returns at the expense of Kopecky or Maltby. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heroes of Hockeytown 694 Report post Posted April 20, 2009 It'd be wonderful if Draper came back and tore it up in the faceoff circle, just to rub more salt into that wound. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CenterIce 83 Report post Posted April 20, 2009 (edited) I was kind of expecting this. It gives him more time to heal what ever the injury is, and it doesn't mess with a winning lineup. Basically, it is what Maltby had last year, when he didn't get in until the Colorado series. Edited April 20, 2009 by CenterIce Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted April 20, 2009 Dont like Draper being hurt, or Danny still having something lingering, or maybe a rest is what he needs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Draper returns at the expense of Kopecky or Maltby. As long as the faceoff percentages are competitive, I don't see Draper coming back in anytime soon.

Barrie 900 Report post Posted April 20, 2009 No need to rush Draper back. Enjoy the break Drapes. I'm sure Kopecky will sit when Draper's ready to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
