LeftWinger 5,129 Report post Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) This is fine, he'll help gr do well this season. Welcome back Frk. I think next time he should pay more attention to road signs. There a much shorter way to get the Grand Rapids from Detroit. Edited November 1, 2016 by LeftWinger 1 e_prime reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is a legit question, as this is a fuzzy area for me regarding the waiver rules. Pulk was waived to try to send him to GR, and had to clear waivers, but was claimed, so couldn't just send him down - his contract had become one way. Frk was exactly the same situation, but since no other teams made a claim when Carolina waived him, Wings can move him to GR since that's what they were trying to do in the first place - no point in them claiming him on waivers if no other teams do, then immediately placing him on waivers when they waived him in the first place. This is my understanding of how it works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MabusIncarnate 5,359 Report post Posted November 1, 2016 The nerd is strong in this thread. Pulks never got claimed, of the two, i'm kinda glad we got Frk back. Who knows if he will ever play at the NHL level but it's nice to know that the option is there. 2 krsmith17 and TheXym reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DickieDunn 2,571 Report post Posted November 1, 2016 Maybe they see more upside in Mthr Frkr than Pulk, or maybe Pulk requested to not go back to the Griffins and they honored it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As someone else said though, maybe Pulks requested not to come back or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He will be playing in Grand Rapids this Friday... against the Griffins as a member of the Iowa Wild... 5 hours ago, Wheelchairsuperhero said: So we can send him straight to GR now? Why didn't we do the same with Pulkinnen when he was waived? This is a legit question, as this is a fuzzy area for me regarding the waiver rules. Yes, Frk has already been assigned to the Griffins and will likely suit up this weekend. They didn't do the same for Pulkkinen because there was a little risk involved in putting in a claim for both players. If any other team after us in the order, put in a claim, we would have to make room for Pulkkinen / Frk on the Red Wings roster. Because we are up against the cap, there was no way to do so without losing another player... and we obviously couldn't make room by waiving a key player like Miller or Ott... I think Holland was a little surprised Pulkkinen went unclaimed, so he was willing to risk putting in a claim for Frk. It worked out, and Frk is back with the organization. I'm personally happy that of the two players, we were able to get Frk back. Who knows if he'll ever make the Wings roster, but regardless he's a solid addition to Grand Rapids. And now we only lost one mid tier prospect in favor of Miller / Ott... 1 Wheelchairsuperhero reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They could have easily kept Frk and/or Pulk without waiving either Miller or Ott. Frk and Pulk were waived because they're not NHL caliber players. Period.

The only way I can see would be Waive XO or Sproul and send Kronwall to LTIR. That wouldn't even do what you say since that would just lose another prospect in the process. Edit: Ah, just remembered that AA is waiver exempt so maybe it would be possible for now (with Kronwall on LTIR), but with Jurco and Kronwall coming back sometime, I think there wouldn't be a way to keep these 2.
