It's unfortunate for Green and the Red Wings. I'm hoping Hicketts will get the call, but knowing the Red Wings they'll go with Ouellet and Witkowski...

kliq 3,755 Report post Posted March 23, 2018 That sucks for him, I hope he fully recovers. Makes sense now that nobody wanted to trade for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
13dangledangle 965 Report post Posted March 23, 2018 Best of luck to Green with this surgery and a speedy recovery....Ive read its a quick process and they leave the hospital the same day, recovery is about a month, but for a professional athlete who knows Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BinMucker94 302 Report post Posted March 23, 2018 I’d say screw it and call up Hronek. Probably won’t happen since he’s one of the top defenseman on GR and they are pushing for a playoff spot. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Either way this might open up a spot for Sulak in GR. Seems like he’s coming off a pretty solid season overseas. It would be nice to see what he can bring to the table. I don’t know much about his game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Holland brings up Lashoff then he needs to go bye bye.

Yeah i think it will be Joe Hicketts, Though i wouldn't mind Filip Hronek just doubt Holland takes him out of GR for only 8 games though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftWinger 4,959 Report post Posted March 23, 2018 I guessing that GRR would want to keep their D corps intact for their playoff run since we are officially out of the running!. I am pretty positive we may be seeing a lot more XO and a little bit of Sulak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted March 23, 2018 The Griffins have been rolling 7 D most games this season, so adding Sulak and losing Hicketts or Hronek shouldn't be that much of a blow to the team. It should also give Saarijarvi a boost in minutes, so that could be a positive as well. 1 amato reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think it's that they need 8 defensemen down there. It's more so that they want to call the best defenseman up to Detroit, but don't want to lose their best defenseman down in Grand Rapids. It's a big weekend for them, with three games in three nights in the middle of a big playoff push. They likely want to call up Hicketts or Hronek, which would be a significant loss to GR. It makes perfect sense to me. Let them play the three games this weekend, play Ouellet tomorrow night against the Leafs and call one of the most up for the game Monday night in Montreal or Tuesday night at home against the Pens. 2 amato and kliq reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
