GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted October 9, 2009 Leave him. It'd be a battle between Draper, Shanny and Maltby for a spot. With all of them nearing the end, it couldnt hurt. 14 points in 34 games on the 3rd/4th line isnt bad, and Brent Sutter praised him alot, the only reason the Devils put him on waivers wasthey wanted quicker, less talented guys on he 3rd and 4th lines. (What's new Jacques Lemaire) It is a fit, but I wouldnt put any stock in it, dont wanna be disappointed. I never thought I'd see Shanny battle for a job with Maltby and Draper of all people. Has he really sunk that low in terms of production? You gotta be f*cking kidding me... way to earn your multi million dollar contract.... wings are f*cked. I love this man.

redwingfan19 293 Report post Posted October 9, 2009 (edited) i'd like to see what eaves can do in a top 6 spot for a couple games he scored 20 goals one year, maybe he could do well with some talent around him hopefully this time off will give mule time to get back 100% and be a beast in the playoffs Edited October 9, 2009 by redwingfan19 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thedatsyukian 7 Report post Posted October 9, 2009 I wonder if we have any goalscoring wingers in the grand rapids stable that could be available as a call up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love this man. No, he's much better then them, but I dont see Babs giving a guy brought in for an injury replacement a permanent spot in the top 9. lol me too, mindfly is comic relief to all of those who overreact Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would be a disaster. I'd love to see Bertuzzi actually do something useful and earn his spot. This could be a chance for him to step up and show that he's still somebody good.

Snazzy 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2009 How did this happen? Didn't he finish the game last night? He seemed fine to me.!!!!! I'm not doctor, but maybe this is a 'light' tear that just needs to be taken care of before it becomes bad. Maybe that's why it's only 4 months if for 'precautionary' measures? I hope.

Kp-Wings 3 Report post Posted October 9, 2009 Bertuzzi and Filppula need to step up now, more than ever. Even more so, the defense, goaltending, and PK essentially need to play with the desperation that they showed last night every night, since the offense will be spread too thin to make up for poor defensive mistakes (like last season).

Snazzy 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2009 * Patrick Eaves * #17 * Right Wing * Detroit Red Wings * Height: 6-0 * Weight: 188 * Shoots: Right * Born: May 1, 1984 - Calgary, Alberta * Draft: 2003 - 1st round (29th overall) by the Ottawa Senators Maybe it's time for him to prove why he was 29th overall. We need another Cleary / Franzen story. Hope he is the man! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
