DickieDunn 2,571 Report post Posted February 2, 2014 I think the main thing people are bitter about is that he was such a high pick and never turned out. Sure - he is a guy who gives 100% out there but being selected that high kinda puts a target on your back. If he was a 6th rounder people would be applauding his achievement of cracking the roster to begin with.the 41st pick isn't that high. From 99-08 only 4 guys picked at 41 played in the NHL this year. Emmerton, Tyutin, Pavelcec, and BIckell. Not exactly a bunch of all stars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FlashyG 1,799 Report post Posted February 3, 2014 haha so no body has claimed any of our waiver guys this season? Its hilarious how we float these same guys in trade ideas Not just Wings players aren't being claimed...nobody is being claimed off waivers this year. In fact if your players are getting claimed off of waivers you probably made a mistake waiving them in the first place. Fans are notoriously innaccurate when it comes to trade predictions, if the Wings are going to bring someone good (#1 Defenceman, or top 6 forward) into the fold its going to cost some young pieces that we as fans don't want to lose. (Mantha, Mrazek, Sproul, Nyquist, Jurco or Tatar etc.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PumpkinEscobar 136 Report post Posted February 3, 2014 That's why next season the free agents can go and be replaced by Griffins. Gonna have to make room down there for the next batch of prospects Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bolgar 62 Report post Posted February 3, 2014 May be it's time for him to try himself in Europe. I think he could fit in on larger rinks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
