Hockeytown0001 7,652 Report post Posted February 2, 2013 It appears as though Monster isn't ready to come back any time soon. Unless Detroit is willing to dress McCollum as full time backup until his return, I'd like to see the Wings go out and snag Brian Boucher. Very dependable backup with solid stats. With Dan Ellis assuming the backup role in Carolina, the Hurricanes had no more use for him and dealt him back to the Flyers, who immediately assigned him to the minors. 1 Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IILeiBlazeII 15 Report post Posted February 2, 2013 Well, I guess no one agreed with your proposal. Must mean everyone feels good about McCollum. ~shudder~ When I saw Howard go down last night, all I could think about was "Oh god, I hope they call Mrazek up if this is long term..." Fortunately, Howie got back up, but I have precisely 0% confidence in McCollum being serviceable in even a backup role. I get that he's battled back a bit since Mrazek showed up to steal his job down in GR, but I just don't see him being anything more than a 1B Minor Leaguer.

Yes that is my nickname for him M-Raz. 2 Hockeymom1960 and evilmrt reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
