Lol. Almost just posted that myself. I wasn't a big Commodore fan but I'm not sure why (unless you think Janik is better) that you trade defensive depth right before the playoffs.

I really hope you're wrong. I was up at the Griffins game on Saturday and Nyquist was just a beast. He's going to be a joy to watch when we get to see him regularly.

I'd imagine leaving Nyquist with GR this time has more to do with striking a balance between keeping the Wings competitive and keeping the Griffins at least somewhat in the playoff hunt than it does with any sort of displeasure Kenny & Co. might have with him.

My priorities: 1-Hockey. 2-Sleep. 3-Food. 4-Everything Else.

Actually, I've seen the kid in a Red Wings uniform. All kidding aside, how do you figure?

Why the hell wont Holland call up Nyquist? Put him with Franzen and Bertuzzi - put skill with skill. Hes no Pavel - but hes no slouch either. This "over-ripe" philosophy is growing tiresome ... hes one of Detroits top notch prospects - not some mid round "lets hope he can mature with a few years on the farm guys". LEts not kid ourselves - Pav and Hank got the chance to play on great teams out of the gate and got to play with seasoned veteran winners that still had skill. A small quickguy with hands and brains feeding the puck to Mule or Bert - is it really that much different than Pavel setting up Hull? Bring up some skill and give them a chance for a top 6 spot while we have injuries.

are you serious? You go on to talk about how he is a top prospect and high level, then you want him to have his first NHL experience playing with Franzen? Do you want to taint his work ethic?

...uh, you are not seriously comparing Franzen to Hull are you? Pavel setting up Hull is not comparable to anyone, not even Hossa, but even Pavel setting up Hossa had way better production than Franzen's lazy ass.

Next thing we'll be hearing is how Franzen is the next Fedorov...
