Nyquistfan14 489 Report post Posted March 29, 2014 I think the Magic man will be back in less than 10 days. Esp if we want to make a strong push for the playoffs. I hope he's Back Wednesday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wings_fanatic 677 Report post Posted March 29, 2014 Given the news on pav he I'll for sure be playing next Wednesday the only reason he might not is because its Boston and the wings won't want the bruins taking runs at him therefore they may opt to keep pav out til Friday against buffalo. The options with pav Weiss and Abby all back are nice to have and will make the team much better. Nyqyist-pav-alfie (I think this is the best way to use alfie and I really want to see Nyquist with pav) Jurco-sheahan- Tatar (no reason not to keep them together) Franzen- helm- Weiss Abby- legwand- Miller/ glendening Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest DeGraa55 Report post Posted March 29, 2014 shaehan and glendog were unknowns, now they're not. center is fine. need top 6 wingers? we have two in nyq and tatar. just need everyone healthy and to trim the dead weight and the wings have a very good set of forwards. defense is what is needed. Funny how I said we need too 6 wingers and you go on and only name two...besides right now Tatar is more of a third line guy this year maybe next year. Nyquist I def is a top6 but another was needed. Also how can you say Sheahan and glendening were unknowns but Tatar and nyquist were top 6. Before thy got play time they were all unknowns. LOL. You're confusing present day with the offseason I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wings_fanatic 677 Report post Posted March 29, 2014 Everyone keeps saying Weiss is coming back, did I miss something here? Apparently he skated the last two days and will practice with the team on Tuesday. So hoping he can get going because he is a good player I don't care what anyone says if he can get going. 1 marcaractac reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So hoping he can get going because he is a good player I don't care what anyone says if he can get going. I know he skated, and I agree he is a good player. The problem is he hasn't really been pushing himself when he's been skating, so I hope he will be back soon, but I'm not anticipating anything yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wings_fanatic 677 Report post Posted March 29, 2014 I think when he comes back he should play wing to make it easier for him to adjust. Either way pav will be back that's all that matters to me right now I miss watching him play so much lol. He will carry the team with the kids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wings10 300 Report post Posted March 30, 2014 Don't look for Pavel Datsyuk to return to action next week. Although he is progressing from a knee injury he is not slated to skate with his Red Wing teammates in a real practice until Tuesday. That doesn't bode well for a return in the next seven days. Check back with us next week for further updates on Datsyuk's recovery. Mar 29 - 9:40 AM Source: Detroit News Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mar 29 - 9:40 AM Source: Detroit News They practice Tuesday and then will have another practice Thursday, so Pavel playing Friday or Saturday is not out of the question. I think it depends how the team does between now and next weekend. If they win today and lose Wedneday, it won't be a huge need to rush Pav back, but if we lose today and Wednesday, then they will feel more of a need to bring him back. Personally though, I think he will play next weekend. 1 dirtydangles reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dabura 12,207 Report post Posted March 30, 2014 Also how can you say Sheahan and glendening were unknowns but Tatar and nyquist were top 6. Before thy got play time they were all unknowns. LOL. You're confusing present day with the offseason I think. To be fair, Nyquist and Tatar showed much more promise in terms of scoring-line potential. Leading scorers for the Griffins, and Nyquist had a great postseason performance with us against the Ducks and 'hawks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dabura 12,207 Report post Posted March 30, 2014 If a week from now Dats is kinda borderline and we're in a really tough spot, maybe he can play in the bottom six. Datsyuk @ 40% > Andersson @ 100%. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Playmaker Report post Posted March 30, 2014 Personally, I'd rather they just put Weiss on the shelf for the rest of the season and both sides can put this season behind us and start fresh. He's basically missed two whole seasons, he's with a new team and can't be in good shape at all. I can't really see him adding a whole lot. While I expected more out of Legwand, I still think he's going to bring more to the table than Weiss. I just don't think the Wings can afford to put someone in who needs 10 games to get his legs and conditioning back. 3 Dabura, e_prime and DatsyukianDekes reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And considering with Z and Dats back along with Abby we won't have any place for Weiss to play unless we send Glendening down and I think Weiss won't be any more effective at this point with no game time for like 2 years. None of the kids should sit with Weiss in and nobody else is even a candidate to sit for Weiss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't say they were top 6 but they will be moving forward.. we have plenty of top 6 forward depth from this point on is all I meant. Defense needs to be the priority this off season.

Just try to get his legs back. If we finish strong and make the playoffs I can see him sitting out and just waiting for that game or games someone doesn't play up to par.

Now i look at that lineup and say we can compete with anyone in the league. At least at forward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
