Jesusberg 1,256 Report post Posted January 22, 2016 I almost hope he's claimed. If not just to save Kenny from himself this offseason.The timing's definitely peculiar, though. Safe bet is that they're calling up a defender, but that means he's being called up to sit. Not really Holland's M.O.Unless... the triumphant return of Brian Lashoff? 2 canadian wings fan and krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fonzarelli 73 Report post Posted January 22, 2016 Now they put him on waivers. He should have been on wavers before Ferraro. I think. Landon is playing pretty well with Boston. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

puckbags 863 Report post Posted January 23, 2016 I sure hope we get to see Jensen, its my opinion, he is the better of the 3 down there, PLUS if gets in, we'd have 3 RH'd d-men playing! Crazy! I'd bring him up and give either E or Smith some games off here and there for the next month or so... Love this, Smith has probably been playing his best hockey as a Wing and you want him to sit for what reason? E i totally agree with. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmyemeryhunter 2,747 Report post Posted January 23, 2016 If by "it" you mean some stupid team is going to claim him, then I doubt it. He was decent in the 2013 playoffs but has done nothing since. A guy that any team could easily pull out of their minors. I said it was happening, and that's not it, that's something though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kickazz 5,459 Report post Posted January 23, 2016 I assume when Richards is back he'll be the one to take Andersson's spot. There may be a call up but I don't know if the call up will get any playing time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chaps80 1,591 Report post Posted January 23, 2016 Bout time. Hope he gets claimed, but it won't happen. And I agree he should have been waived before Ferraro. Is Richards hurt again? Guys been pretty much useless this season. I know he's getting up there, but he was solid for Chicago last year. Figures when the Wings get him he does nothing for them.

jimmyemeryhunter 2,747 Report post Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) I think Ferraro was waived before Andy for a few reasons... 1. Ferraro is not a good face off man. 2. Although Andy is MUCH slower, hes MUCH more consistent defensively and on the pk. 3. Size. Ferraro isn't small, but Andy is a legit 6'2 and may get leveled quite a bit, but he'll take the hit to make the pla These are also reasons why I think Ferraro got claimed, and I think they believed Andy had a higher risk of getting claimed (I don't think he will) than ferraro, but ferraro is younger and his full upside is still TBD at this level, and Boston was desperate for someone like him after the injuries they were dealing with (they just lost their 4th line c/rw for the year who was also their best pk-er. I actually think Andy will clear, and be re-signed and be able to be called back up and down when needed without worrying about being claimed as long as some team doesn't have a plague of injuries...

LeftWinger 4,963 Report post Posted January 23, 2016 Love this, Smith has probably been playing his best hockey as a Wing and you want him to sit for what reason? E i totally agree with. No reason, did I say sit him the entire 4 weeks? No, I said rotate him for some rest. I agree he has been playing good, but he still makes boneheaded giveaway's every game. Who else are you going to sit for Jensen, just E? I'd love that, but E is not going to sit, so do you sit Marchy, who seems to be playing much better than E and Smith at times? I was just suggesting ways of getting some looks at another kid... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There may be a call up but I don't know if the call up will get any playing time. True, but right now they only have 6 D-men and when Andy clears or gets claimed, they will only have 12 forwards WITH Richards. They could actually bring up 2 players, one of each, to fill the roster. I vote for Jensen and Mantha! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm unsure I see the correlation. Especially when "hindering" our young players is the reason we have 24 straight playoff appearances. No other team can even come close to saying that.

chaps80 1,591 Report post Posted January 24, 2016 Andersson isn't being assigned to GR yet according to Blashill. He's staying with the Wings. The waiver was just a formality to allow them to send him down and call up someone if/when necessary quickly without having to wait for the waiver period to make the move. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
