I know this is irrelevant before opening night, but holy crud that's a lot of bux tied up in a few bodies. They'll need some creative massaging to get that down while still maintaining decent depth. You gotta figure they've got only a few years to make that roster pay off before the wheels start coming off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dabura 12,205 Report post Posted September 28, 2019 Hicketts didn't make the cut. https://www.mlive.com/redwings/2019/09/joe-hicketts-among-several-waived-by-red-wings.html How much should we read into Svechnikov not being waived yet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe he's waiver exempt due to an extension...due to injury. Love Hickett's gumption, but he's not going to stick with the Wings. IMO. Wouldn't be surprised if someone snags him though.

I believe he's waiver exempt due to an extension...due to injury. Yep, he's waiver-exempt because he missed all of last season. I'd like to think he still has a shot at making the team and that's why he's still up with the team. Guess we'll see. 4 minutes ago, TLGTrico said: No tv again, awesome. NHL Network and Sportsnet.

solarion 118 Report post Posted September 28, 2019 Yeah, Svech and to a lesser extent Ras needs to be given every opportunity to sink or swim imo. We're what...4+ years out from Evgeny's draft day? Lousy luck injury wise aside, you've got to figure the verdict on him needs to come this season. Keep him up and feed him some ice time...see what he does with it. He's looked pretty good knocking the rust off so far this pre-season. I could stomach seeing Svech getting reps on the 3rd line instead of Helm, Erne, DLR, etc. 1 Dabura reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

solarion 118 Report post Posted September 28, 2019 11 minutes ago, TLGTrico said: I could watch on NHL network, if not for local blackouts Lame. The NHL needs to figure out that there's this thing called "streaming" that easily lets people circumvent their greedy blackout restrictions. 10 minutes ago, krsmith17 said: Rasmussen, Cholowski and Seider still with the team... 28 remaining, needs to be trimmed to 23 by Tuesday... Nice. Seider and Ras are probably cut with the next round, but it's encouraging to see. All three of them have earned more opportunity to show their stuff imo. Cholowski should stay up, particularly if the Wings are rolling 8 D to start the season AND rig is sidelined. 1 Dabura reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akakabuto 1,741 Report post Posted September 28, 2019 (edited) Finally. HYPE! So Seider is not playing. Probably had him stick around for some game time decisions on defense. Green I guess. Rasmussen filling in for AA. Both probably go down tomorrow.

solarion 118 Report post Posted September 28, 2019 (edited) Dunno 'bout that Nemeth - Green pairing...could be scary. lol Hope Ras kills it on Flip's wing. 53 must be warming the bench to start. Kid has played a TON of hockey lately. Edited September 28, 2019 by solarion 1 Dabura reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
