All I need to know is is Luke Glendening still on the Wings or did they send him back to GR?
October 2nd, 2013 at 6:21 PM ^
October 2nd, 2013 at 6:22 PM ^
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.
October 2nd, 2013 at 6:29 PM ^
Welp there goes my interest for this NHL season so far.
This weekend is gonna be great. Little Brown Jug game & the first exhibition for hockey.
October 2nd, 2013 at 6:36 PM ^
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

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.
October 2nd, 2013 at 6:57 PM ^
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.
October 2nd, 2013 at 7:05 PM ^
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.
October 2nd, 2013 at 8:52 PM ^
They sent him back down to Grand Rapids
October 2nd, 2013 at 6:23 PM ^
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 ^
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.
October 2nd, 2013 at 7:09 PM ^
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.
October 2nd, 2013 at 6:29 PM ^
October 2nd, 2013 at 6:33 PM ^
Some Day? I'd argue it's been causing problems for awhile now.
October 2nd, 2013 at 6:48 PM ^
Who's Clearly related to?
October 2nd, 2013 at 7:00 PM ^
October 2nd, 2013 at 6:48 PM ^
Yeah. Send Nyquist to GR and put Tatar in the stands, because Sammuelsson and Bert are much better options.
October 2nd, 2013 at 8:40 PM ^
October 2nd, 2013 at 8:56 PM ^
October 3rd, 2013 at 8:42 AM ^
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.
October 2nd, 2013 at 7:35 PM ^
October 2nd, 2013 at 7:48 PM ^
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.

October 2nd, 2013 at 8:08 PM ^
Go Wings! The road towards the Wings' 12th Cup starts tonight!
October 3rd, 2013 at 7:04 AM ^
No...oh, sorry.
October 2nd, 2013 at 8:26 PM ^
Kevin Porter sighting
October 2nd, 2013 at 8:33 PM ^
First goal of the season!!!!!!
October 2nd, 2013 at 8:34 PM ^
2-0!!!!!!!!!
October 2nd, 2013 at 8:39 PM ^
Little dirtiness out of Buffalo the last few minutes.
October 2nd, 2013 at 9:02 PM ^
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. .
