achildr1 255 Report post Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) I'd watch the Griffs for a sweet video tomorrow... Meanwhile, here is one that I didn't see posted here from 4 days ago.... Seriously...Blashill has to be trying to mock Babcock. At one point in this video, when he's talking, there's no distinguishing between the two.Blashill is expecting to be with the Griffins next year. To that I say, thank god. He is the best coach Grand Rapids has had in years. I fully expect our prospects to be better so long as we have a good coach and good developmental people such as Chelios, Maltby, Draper, and Osgood at the helm. Jiri Fischer.

achildr1 255 Report post Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) Nyquist Dekeyser Andersson Tatar Sheahan Mrazek Jurco Ferraro I count 8. Sheahan and Jurco are not ready. I fully expect both of them to spend all next year in GR...with maybe an injury call up aside. Jurco needs to dominate the AHL like Nyquist did this year before he gets the call. Sheahan should be left downthere until he develops a better offensive game too. We have a whole teams worth of bottom six guys...we need Sheahan to put up points. Unless your trying to say that they will be eventual NHLer's. I expect Pulkkinen to play in the NHL. Lashoff would be included too.

I agree that they ahead of Teemu. I think Sheahan will stick first then the other two will follow. I'm not sure Teemu goes to Toledo tho...he might not stay here if that's the case. I also don't see GR having six forwards ahead of him next year anyway. Ferraro, Jurco, Jarnkrok, snd Glendening are probably top six guys but it gets shifty after that. I think Tvrdon will be the winger sent to Toledo. Edited June 23, 2013 by achildr1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
