Red Wings Camp Update
Quick Wings update today about the upcoming training camp. The MOU was signed yesterday so camp will begin today at Compuware Arena until Wednesday. Practices will open today at Noon and 1:00 and Monday at the same times. Tuesday practice will start at 9:30 with the Red-White game at 6pm.
Helm, Eaves and Datsyuk are out. Mike Knuble has been given a tryout. Filppula is skating again after an MCL sprain in Finland, Carlo Colaiacovo expects to be ready after a shoulder injury. Nyquist and Tatar are staying in Grand Rapids, while Brendan Smith has been recalled.

Nyquist in Grand Rapids is a bit of a head-scratcher for me. Granted, they can call him up at any time, but in my opinion he should be practicing with the Wings. The Red Wings are no longer a Cup-threat and are, for the first time in a long time, at a bit of a rebuilding stage. So why not get your top young star playing at the top-level?
That said, I fully expect him to be called up relatively soon. Feels good to have hockey back!

that should have been traded or never signed in the first place: Bertuzzi, Cleary, Tootoo, Samulson, for starters. This team is not a cup contender anymore and they should begin to rebuild now.

Grand Rapids isn't stocked with NHL ready talent. If you bring them up too soon and blow their development you have no other players in the system who can come up.

Tootoo is going to be an interesting player to watch this year. A lot of hockey fans don't like him, but he's a great guy so I'll be rooting for him to be at least a productive player.

It's just a matter of when he gets back and reports to camp. He's not too happy about coming back so he might take his time, take another day for rest after his flight, then get his physical taken care of.
Or I could completely wrong and he shows up tomorrow.

Is training camp open to the public? Does it cost anything?
January 13th, 2013 at 10:47 AM ^

OT. Don't care about your redwings, and neither do half the people on this blog. Please at least label accordingly.
Sorry, grumpy.
