wingfan1991 221 Report post Posted January 22, 2017 That is huge! No way he should be in the lineup with the now 12 healthy. Smart move Kenny this means AA and Mantha are here to stay! 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dominator2005 558 Report post Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) Huge?!?!? He's 4th liner playing 4th line minutes. Huge would be to send Errorson down with his FAT contract. Huge would be to give AA big minutes. Huge would be to get rid of She. Huge would be to trade (Nyquist, Tatar) for some defensive help... for the true hockey players and not fashion models who plays without contact like DeKe. Huge would LG not playing on two top lines. 4th liners are physical grinders... you should not be playing Jurco type of player on the 4th line... People were saying that Babs is the reason why youth was not in the lineup... look at the Maple Leafs roster... they are playing 9-10 rookies and KH is still signing long-term contracts to dead weight... Again, we are not losing or winning beaceause of our 4th line... our D is the worst in NHL. Our special teams are top 5 worst in the NHL... we are having more serious issues that Miller playing on the 4th line... and I'm not even his fan Edited January 22, 2017 by Dominator2005 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

derblaueClaus 1,668 Report post Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) As much I like Miller, but this is a good sign. It means they let Mantha and AA stay in the lineup. And it is huge because it may mark the end of the "tie goes to the veteran" - era.

TheXym 2,606 Report post Posted January 22, 2017 Surprised to see this, but pleasantly so. Drew has been a good team player and a strong asset on the PK. However, I am glad Kenny rightly is not displacing someone better suited from the top 12. This could bode well for the future if Kenny is now thinking this way. 3 roboturner, krsmith17 and kliq reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheXym 2,606 Report post Posted January 22, 2017 Considering the Wings picked Drew off the waiver wire years ago, it was a pretty good pickup, IMHO. No way Ken would have gotten anything for him in trade though. Rival GM's seem to have played more hard ball with Kenny than other GM's I think, because they don't want to be the one that sets the Wings up for another huge playoff streak (or extend the current one). We can thank Drew for his service, but to throw Kenny under the bus for not getting return on him is, IMHO, quite misguided. If he gets picked up, good for him, and best of luck against the other 28 teams he faces. If not, he can help to develop the next generation of PK stalwarts in Grand Rapids. 4 ChristopherReevesLegs, wings4thecup06, roboturner and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed, also the waiver wire at least gives him a shot at keeping Miller in case we have injuries later. Trading him for a 7th means he is officially gone, though I dont think Kenny was getting any offers anyways. 1 TheXym reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChristopherReevesLegs 7,022 Report post Posted January 22, 2017 We got 8 seasons out of the guy and we got him for free. A less appreciated Holland move. Miller works his tail off, hard not to like the guy, just too much talent coming through the pipes to keep him up with the big club. Im sure this is devastating for him, this has been his home and team for almost a decade. I hope he gets claimed and stays in the NHL. Lots of Canucks fans hoping Benning scoops him up to play with Ryan. Im not opposed to that in the slightest. 3 krsmith17, TheXym and NerveDamage reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
