dobbles 252 Report post Posted May 30, 2013 Sorry if this is deemed to be the wrong place for this, but wanted to ask. With the Griffins still in the AHL playoffs, who can we send down to bolster the roster? I recall that we wasted all of our post deadline roster transactions on a few players so that they would be eligible for the AHL playoffs. Am I wrong in how I am remembering things? 1 jvxp reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted May 30, 2013 Pretty sure it was Nyquist, Andersson, DeKeyser and Lashoff. Obviously Lash is down there now, I'd expect the other 3 to go down and help out, god knows they'll be hungry. Not sure what DeKeyser's status is right now, but even just going down and practicing would be good for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nevermind 363 Report post Posted May 30, 2013 Nyquist and Andersson would be like adding two top-line forwards for them. 1 jvxp reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drumnj 459 Report post Posted May 30, 2013 I'd have to imagine that if Dekeyser is cleared to play and the Griffins are still going he'd be sent there as well. He pretty much started his season a few weeks before the playoffs, so more ice-time at a bigger level with good competition should be a learning experience that I'm sure the club wants him exposed to. OKC is giving them a hard time right now, so it'll be interesting to see how they look tomorrow. Game time is 8pm ET. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kira 451 Report post Posted May 31, 2013 I figured it would be Gustav and Joakim. They both did a good job up here, considering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rhah 195 Report post Posted May 31, 2013 Love seeing young guys get extra playing time and must admit I don't know the rules, but it seems pretty cheap that you can send guys down mid series... even in between series seems like cheating. But I'll take whatever the rules allow... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is the exact reason for the "paper transactions" that occurred when the Red Wings sent Lashoff, Nyquist, Andersson, and DeKeyser down and immediately called them back up.

Yeah. And by "cheating" I meant more like being a bit unfair for the opponent of the team in the AHL playoffs. But, I am only commenting, like I said, if the rules allow then do it because its all about these guys progression and experience for the mother team. 1 evilmrt reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
