Castaway (How former Wings are doing)

[PavelValerievichDatsyuk 1,935]

I always like tracking how players do elsewhere after they're shipped away.

Was inspired by someone's comment about Quincey in another thread. I hadn't checked up on him in a while until I was reminded by that post. Apparently he was waived back in November. Thought he was better than that when he left here. Must have taken a turn for the worse. Looks like he hasn't played in the AHL so I wonder if he's working out a deal overseas? Or i injured? Or calling it a career at 32?

And that makes all of Jurco, Q, Tootoo waived this year.

Also WILSON!!!! (the Inspiration for the title) has 2 pts in his 14 games with Buffalo for a grand total of 2 pts for the whole year with the 3 teams.

And....Sheahan has 14 pts with Pens - 1 less than our $5.25 million Nielson and more than Helm. Seems to be back at the production of previous years in the new environment. Good for him, but still think it was good to trade him since we had no spot for him at center. He has a great FO% with 56.84 so maybe they put him back at center and that must be where he's comfortable. It always seemed to me that he fell off when we switched him to wing.

How's Jarnkrok doing?

He's on pace for a career year with 24 pts. so far (10g, 14a)

The deal he signed last year (2mill X6 years) is going to be great for Nashville. Calle should fire his agent - should've taken a short bridge deal and he would have made a whole lot more. He's just ahead of Nyquist and Tatar for production right now, but locked in at that 2 mill cap hit for another 4 years.  

That's definitely a trade that doesn't look good in retrospect (or even just spect - yes that should be a word). Would be another supporting cast member and a young center at that. Like Sheahan, didn't have a place with our other options at 3rd line center, but if we had not signed Nielsen or Helm could have been a better option for the future.

I have always wondered what his career here would have looked like had he signed with the wings, too bad as he seemed to be very liked in the wing wheel

Brunner would probably still be in the Swiss league.  Not enough work ethic to make it in the NHL.

I liked the Monster. He's not broken. He's playing in the SEL now.

 

Jurco back up with the Hawks. Looks mishandled.

I liked him too. Skilled, but he was broken a lot in his NHL career and never really found his footing with any team. Too bad, guy could have been a solid starter. He got the Wings into the playoffs in 2014 when Howard went down. Maybe leaving Europe for Toronto cursed him.
