He's in Grand Rapids
Glendening, Palushaj, Pateryn, Lynch, Moffie, Merrill, Burlon and Wohlberg were sent down.
Almost all of our fringe roster players were sent to the minors except for Hunwick, Trouba, Summers and Brown.

We still have quite a few players
Those four I listed were the only players who had to fight to make a roster spot.
We still have 11 other players around the NHL:
Kevin Porter - Buffalo
Max Pacioretty - Montreal
Andrew Cogliano - Anaheim
Mike Brown - Edmonton
Al Montoya - Winnipeg
Carl Hagelin - Rangers
Mike Cammalleri - Calgary
Jack Johnson - Columbus
Eric Nystrom - Nashville
David Moss - Phoenix
Mike Komisarek - Carolina

How can Trouba be listed in
How can Trouba be listed in the fringe category??
October 2nd, 2013 at 6:51 PM

Because
Winnipeg wasn't going to fool with his development by bringing him up unless he showed in preseason that he could skate against an NHL lineup.
He played his way onto the roster. If he didn't have an outstanding training camp Ian White wouldn't have been cut, and Trouba would be in the AHL with St. John's.

Zach Redmond also
Also I think the fact Zach Redmond still has a two way contract added to letting White go and Trouba stay. I for one hope Redmond can make it back to the NHL after almost losing his life on the ice last season.

Redmond
Zach Redmond was the last cut in camp, he's the second defensemen out of the minors if they need a call up. Adam Pardy was brought back up yesterday when Clitsome went to IR.

GR
They sent him back down to Grand Rapids

Porter
Kevin Porter is in the lineup tonight for Buffalo, but the enormous amout of talent at center has pushed him out onto the wing.
October 2nd, 2013 at 7:02 PM
#13
Not to knock Porter but
Not to knock Porter but Buffalo doesn't exactly have enormous talent at any postion. Porter has been beaten out by rookies Grigorenko and Johan Larsson. Hodgson is the only guy with any real NHL experience at centre for Buffalo.

Fair enough
Potential may be a better way to size up the middle for Buffalo. They haven't proven anything yet, but between those four they can provide more upside than a dependable but low ceiling forward like Porter.

I love Babs and Holland but I
I love Babs and Holland but I find it pretty crappy that Nyquist is in GR and that Tatar is relegated to the bench until an injury arises. Yet we managed to find roster space for Dan Cleary yet again...nepotism will be the downfall of this organization some day.

Yeah. Send Nyquist to GR and put Tatar in the stands, because Sammuelsson and Bert are much better options.

It wouldn't be mgoblog without everyone
It wouldn't be mgoblog without everyone complaining about Ken Holland, the best GM in pro sports. Of course Samuelson would score the first goal tonight.

Wasn't even thinking of Holland when I wrote that. I'm grateful for Babcock but some decisions I just can't understand.
October 3rd, 2013 at 8:42 AM
#22
I think that this has to do
I think that this has to do with inane salary cap rules. They can't alleviate Bert or Samuelsson's sarly cap hit unless somebody claims them off of waivers. They put Samuelsson out there and nobody bit. So they are basically stuck with them.

I have no idea how Nyquist
I have no idea how Nyquist isn't out there. Tatar is a shock as well, but Nyquist was electric for the Wings in the play offs.

I wish we hadn't signed
I wish we hadn't signed cleary and had let nyquist get more nhl experience. Oh well, he'll be up at some point this year.

So, the Wings withstand a two-man disadvantage
and then put two past Ryan Miller, going up high with a beautiful Samuelson tip-in and a gorgeous backhander by the best player in hockey, Pavel Datsyuk, well, next to his linemate.
The thing that I hadn't really considered before tonight's game is the fact that the Wings will finally play in the Eastern time zone and face off against original six teams most of the season, teams we rarely get to see the Wings play against. This ought to be fun. The Wings look sharp.
And on Friday night, they come to NC to play Carolina in Raleigh. .

Tropp
I saw that Corey Tropp was supposed to be playing for the Sabres until he broke his jaw in a fight last week. For any of you that remember his hit on Kampfer a couple of weeks back, you may want to google the clip of this fight as it'll restore your faith that what comes around goes around.
