I liked the part that suggested he is at best our number 7 defenseman with everyone healthy. I in now way expect him to sit as the number 7. We have Kindl that would be great at that... I expect both Marchenko and Ouellet to remain with the Griffins unless there is an injury.

Except this post. Which you "liked". Suggesting that both of you feel that way.

Marchenko is at best their 7th best d-man. He will sit when everyone is healthy. His shooting hand doesn't trump ability.

Yeah I mis spoke. He won't be in the Wings lineup

I guess we'll see how this pans out, The Rangers have certainly had our number since we moved to the east.

Kronwall Zids

Dekeyser Quincey

E Marchenko is my guess at full health

Zidlicky would get eaten alive with top pairing minutes against teams in the playoffs. He doesn't have the foot speed nor defensive ability to play in that role anymore. Third pairing and power-play specialist is the ideal spot for him. I can't see Marchenko leaping Smith on the depth chart either.

He trumps Kindl and I don't care what you say.

Kronwall, Ericsson, Dekeyser, Quincey, Smith, and Zidlicky are ahead of Marchenko. Kindl will be the #7 so Marchenko can play instead of sit.

I think babs will try it two rightys and I was referring to the regular season maybe we will rest some guys towards the end and get to experience it and Zids was a twenty minute guy on New Jersey do I'm guessing he'll at least be on the top four I saw a few good defensive plays he made, but I also don't think babs will want Quincey with anyone else but DK so that's why I put him on the top pair I'm sure he will be on the bottom tho, you can't deny it, I want to see two rightys on the blue line for at least one game.

Why do you think Babs wouldn't want Quincey with anybody other than Dekeyser?

Cole and Zidlicky

Look at that defenseman holding a stick in his right hand

Edit: Just in case someone questions, I do realize Zidlicky is at the back of the photo

Well that takes care of that. Marchenko on Babs good side. He'll probably make the line up when hes healthy again. Question is who would be scratched. My guess is Smith. I support having 2 right handed shots on the roster anyway.

As for Marchenko I am pretty sure you need to send the player down prior to the trade deadline for him to be eligible for the AHL playoffs. (silly rule) I did not see that he went down. I do not know if there is an exception if the player is on IR.
