It's half a season - not just a bad start.
He's got fewer points, fewer goals and a worse plus-minus than Dylan McIlrath.
And regardless of the bad start, Russo and Hronek have twice the production.
so out of the three, who in your mind should be playing tonight?
Hmmm.
Let's see.
Green
Dekeyser
Kronwall
Ericsson
Jensen
XO
There's 6.
Why are we calling up a defenseman?
If we're looking to the future, I guess I don't mind giving Hicketts a look.
But honestly, I don't think he's got much of a future in the NHL.
I'd also consider Hronek.
But if it was about tonight's game? I'd probably look at McIlrath.
I don’t get you at all. McIlrath is 25, he’s a career AHLer. Zero NHL future. Hicketts may not be killing it this season but taking a look at kids like that is exactly what we should be doing and what many, including you, seem to have argued FOR previously.Hmmm.
Let's see.

Let him sink or swim? See what we’ve got in him? He actually COULD factor into our future.

Don’t care if it’s xo or Jensen hopefully one goes then we move green and bring up Hronek.
E- Daley
Kronwall- Hronek
DK- hickets
At least it’s something to look forward to because right now there really is no excitement to watching this crap product

Thank you for this. Too many times fans just see the stat line and label the player based on that.
I offered two trains of thought.
If it's about the future, I'd go with Hronek probably, but fine, have Hicketts play.
But if it's about winning tonight, I'd go with McIlrath.
But at the end of the day, I don't see Hicketts having a good career.
And I don't see why we're already tossing XO in the trash heap at 24 years old.
Another CHLer getting ****ed over by Coach Red, White and Blue.
I think giving him the chance to play right after deadline would be nice, give him 5-10 games if he sticks he sticks if not he goes back down and it gives him an opportunity to improve and that drive to get a roster spot next OctoberThis is enticing, but I'd leave Hronek down for the entire season. Let him continue to gain confidence in the A, then next year compete for an NHL job in camp, if he doesn't make it, then he'll get a shot next year. I wouldn't be opposed giving him a game or 2 at the end of the year though.
Big Joe looked pretty good in his NHL debut asides from the hit he made where he left his defensive partner scrambling back to the D zone.

I think the 2.88 ga/60 is the big one.
I keep hearing about how much XO sucks.
The Red Wings score more goals when XO is on the ice and allow fewer goals.
Jensen, every 5-6 games, will have a nice rush up the ice that makes you think he's a good player. But most, he just
Over the last 2 years, only Dekeyser has a worse GF% on the Red Wings D.
