Guest Crymson Report post Posted May 22, 2013 Are they with the team? Or are they absent because the Griffins are still playing? They're playing with the Griffins. The Wings have a full lineup, so why deny valuable to experience to the team's prospects in Grand Rapids? Tatar, for example, is currently playing excellent hockey. He's looking very out of place in the AHL, which is great news. A year ago, that would not have been true. 1 Peadydog reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StormJH1 231 Report post Posted May 22, 2013 Tatar got the call before Nyquist this year and there have been times I really thought he would've helped the Wings 3rd or 4th line after they sent him down. But Nyquist really has improved as the year went on and he has a much more complete game. His speed and backchecking have been huge and he's even providing secondary scoring...they might have hoped for that, but couldn't have expected it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
