I get that Sheahan is a 1st-round pick and that we have expectations, hopes and dreams for him that are in the stratosphere and literally can't wait for him to be great, and that Glendening went undrafted so it's borderline offensive that he's even in the organization, let alone playing in games, but..... strip all that pointlessness away and Glendening has simply played better than Sheahan.
I don't follow either Sheahan or Glendening much, so let me give you my unbiased opinion here.
I trust that we have hockey people that can judge the talent and compete level of the hockey players we have in grand rapids.
Glendening may be relatively unimpressive, and a boring 4th liner. But Glendening is getting called up the the NHL right now more than Sheahan is. The Detroit Red Wings MANAGEMENT (And that is really all that matters) sees Glendening as the more useful player at this point.
This could mean Glendening is amazing, or that Sheahan is unimpressive.
In either case, on a HEALTHY DRW team, i see neither of these players ever accomplishing anything more than Cory Emmerton ever did.
Sheahan was a 1st rounder, Nyquist was a 4th rounder; where they were drafted means little.
I would say both Sheahan and Ferraro will be jettisoned soon, as they CLEARLY are not highly valued by management, I mean look at who the call ups have been this year.
