As much as I think Nyquist as earned a spot, given the fact that he's still waiver exempt probably means he starts the season in Grand Rapids. I do think he'll get the call-up before Tatar if the injury bug bites just based on pre-season play. It's gonna be really tough keeping him off the roster next year though.Does Nyquist make the team this year? I thought especially with Mursak hurt there was 2 roster spots open. With the play of brunnstrom and Nyquist i thought they would be getting the spots. But i just heard mick and ken mention how there isnt room for Nyquist and if it werent for veteran players and contract obligations that he would be on the team. Is their a finalized roster yet?

I understand the Wings' philosophy in developing prospects, but there comes a point where you have to consider putting a prospect on your team because he makes the team better. Even if he's not as ready as he's going to be, I really think Nyquist would help this team with depth scoring.

Nyquist seems to be a stud of the future. Someone should dig up a soundbite or a video where people could learn how to pronounce his name.
Did Babcock just call Ian White "Whitey"?

Nyquist likely won't make the team, because he would be spending some/most of the games in the press-box. Therefore, his development is better served by playing a lot of minutes in the AHL. IMO he only makes this team at the expense of Hudler, which is unlikely.Does Nyquist make the team this year? I thought especially with Mursak hurt there was 2 roster spots open. With the play of brunnstrom and Nyquist i thought they would be getting the spots.

There are other players trying to make the team who have 1 way contracts so they can't be sent down without going through waivers. That gives them an advantage over himDoes Nyquist make the team this year? I thought especially with Mursak hurt there was 2 roster spots open.

Good rule of thumb is always take an octopus everywhere. Better to have one and not need it than find yourself thinking, "Damn, I wish I had that octopus".
