kliq 3,763 Report post Posted February 21, 2021 I hope so, we need him in this lineup. Larkin has really struggled since he went down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeftWinger 5,129 Report post Posted February 22, 2021 Ya, but DD was waived as well....and he played the other day. This is just a paper move probably. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are just able to put him on the taxi squad now. Saves a bit of cap space, and gives a bit of roster flexibility.

The 91 of Ryans 3,019 Report post Posted August 19, 2021 16 minutes ago, BarkBurgerman said: Athanasiou - Nielsen - Vanek RIP Now we have spots for two more forwards. Smith/Pearson/Veleno/Raymond should get interesting at camp. Like Lefty said in the other thread. I can see Yzerman bringing in another veteran. 11 minutes ago, Akakabuto said: Welcome Eric Staal! Like this guy. ^ Honestly, I think there's very little chance Bergrren and/or Raymond start with the Wings. Same with Veleno. He'd have to steal at least a top 9 spot to justify not playing big minutes in GRs I think Pearson and Smith will duke it out for that last spot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stock the last couple forward spots with veterans or older prospects (Smith/Pearson). When the injuries pile up, Veleno, Bergrren, and Raymond are in GRs to fill in. Otherwise, the depth gets pretty thin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I get the point, but you have to learn at some point and thin is okay in the position we´re in. See what they can do, add 1 veteran and let the young guys gain valuable experience. playing in pro leagues at the age of 17, that is gaining experience not playing top line minutes in juniors...

Neomaxizoomdweebie 3,083 Report post Posted August 19, 2021 Bobby Ryan 2 hours ago, BarkBurgerman said: Maybe Anisimov. Lefty posted that tweet about him practicing with the Wings this offseason. Anisimov might get a PTO. That's hit or miss. Worked for David Booth, not for PA Parenteau. SY isnt going to leave a spot open for a PTO. He'll fill it first and worry about making room later.

Akakabuto 1,842 Report post Posted August 19, 2021 Cheap veterans on 1-year contracts doesn’t block prospects from getting their shot. It’s giving long extensions to declining players that do. Adding a Anisimov or a Staal is fine with me. 1 The 91 of Ryans reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rivalred 630 Report post Posted August 20, 2021 (edited) In some ways sad to see him go, but he really didn’t live up to his potential here. Hope we lands with a team that has some more talent and he can set up goals Edited August 20, 2021 by Rivalred Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
13dangledangle 968 Report post Posted August 20, 2021 Glad to see it happen but obviously hope the best for Frans going forward too. Ive been more than thrilled with how the Yzerplan is going, the man is truly going to get this team back into contention and dude's going to be an absolute legend around Detroit even more then he already is. As if that's even possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
