DickieDunn 2,571 Report post Posted July 19, 2014 You guys are seriously over rating him. He's projected as a 4th line agitator, not a second line scorer. I said he was better than Cleary, who is projected as being nowhere in the NHL without his man-crushees. A 4th line agitator/mini-Holmstrom>absolutely nothing. Callahan brings skills that this team has lacked for a while. That doesn't mean he'd be claimed on waivers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree- he has improved each season since joining the WHL and provides a role the Wings lack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted July 19, 2014 I don't think anyone is "over rating" Callahan, but I for one would be pissed if we lost him to waivers. No one is saying that he is the next big thing, just that he could be a great 4th line grinder in the mold of a Maltby. I love the kid and I hope he steals a full time spot on our crowded 4th line sometime this season... 2 Hockeymom1960 and wings4thecup06 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jesusberg 1,256 Report post Posted July 20, 2014 I'd like to see the guy get a shot on the team. I don't think anyone's going to mistake him for a 2nd liner, but as has been mentioned by a few others, he could bring a different element to this team. He may not fit on anything but a 4th line in Detroit, but I think he could compliment skilled guys by being a distraction and screening the goaltender. The net presence, piano pulling guys have their place on NHL clubs, too... should he grow into that role.He may not turn into that, but the downside is that he'd fit in as a 4th liner who brings high energy and good tempo. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
