anthonyn66 89 Report post Posted October 8, 2009 Justin Abdelkader has been sent to the minors, probably because Brad May was signed. http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=501482 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thedatsyukian 7 Report post Posted October 8, 2009 I'm pretty sure they had every intention of sending Abdelkader down as soon as possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Mule 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2009 Abby will get his chance to play big minutes someday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doc Holiday 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2009 He's just playing the waiting game. If he keeps up the effort, he will be a sure-fire regular next season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skyphoenix 153 Report post Posted October 8, 2009 (edited) So Eaves or May should be playing tonight then. Edited October 8, 2009 by skyphoenix Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Superman54 91 Report post Posted October 8, 2009 Sounds of it May is playing. Eaves might swap in for Maltby. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jake Ryan 1 Report post Posted October 8, 2009 Justin Abdelkader has been sent to the minors, probably because Brad May was signed. http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=501482 Damn. Wings going backward again. Stupid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miller76 463 Report post Posted October 8, 2009 You had to see this coming. Maybe its more Helm related though, then May related. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted October 8, 2009 Damn. Wings going backward again. Stupid. Not even remotely true. Abdelkader's development is better served by playing 20+ mins a night in GR than playing 5 mins on the 4th line up in Detroit. Plus we all knew he'd be going back down when Helm returned anyway (due to the cap), so whatever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carman 387 Report post Posted October 8, 2009 Agreed good move get Abby some more playing time we shouldn't need him til the playoffs, going backwards would be trading Abby for Rob Blake or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cjm502 165 Report post Posted October 8, 2009 You had to see this coming. Maybe its more Helm related though, then May related. Right now I believe it is because of May. Helm is not supposed to play until Tuesday, so Helm is out of the question here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Ryan 1 Report post Posted October 8, 2009 Too bad we can't get Holmstrom more playing time in GR. That would be nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redline 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2009 (edited) The minors seem to be where Abdelkader should play. Obviously his worth to the team is only in the finals, the first couple games at that, then put him back on the shelf.

Hack & Whack Rule! 160 Report post Posted October 10, 2009 Too bad we can't get Holmstrom more playing time in GR. That would be nice. Dude! Why does everything have to be about Holmstrom? Let it go. It's weird that no matter what the topic is, you manage to trash talk Homer. The guy plays in the NHL. Sure, there are better players, but there are worse players too. I'm thinking that on his worst day, he's still a better player than you. If you disagree with that: 1. I don't give a rat's ass. 2. Check out the uniform he wears (as opposed to your Mr. Clucky outfit) 3. Check out his contract...you know the one I'm talkin' about...it provides him with a lot of money Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
