Klim shady.

 

[GoBoltz56]

Oh, cool. Another defenseman.

 

[lhsgolf19]

San Jose not New Jersey bud

 

[wings95]

Ok. AHL depth?

 

[redwings8831]

San Jose not New Jersey bud

Oops, it was the Devils pick. Fixed.

 

[Perfect Human]

Does this mean we have too many D in GR now and need to move/bring up one of AlJo, Ed, WilWall?

 

[Ricelund]

Ok. AHL depth?

He's on a one way deal... hmm...

 

[PelagicJoe]

Scraps for scraps. How exciting.

[RedWingzz]

huh?

whats the point of this lol

also, Kostin could have been useful in the playoffs, now we have no toughness at all

 

[saska sault]

Klim off the books is a W regardless of what comes back. He wasn't contributing and seemed to slow to keep up to the pace when we needed something from him.

Probably to get out of the next year of Kostin's contract.

 

[The Flying Octopus]

Stupid.

 

[mcityguy1]

This team is weak ans guy who can fight ans has some grit gets traded I guess perron and larkin have to do all the fighting

 

[Perfect Human]

So we now have Rafferty, Edvinsson, AlJo, Tuimisto, Wallinder, Simek/Viro/Didier/Newpower on defense in the AHL.
I am not an accountant, but wtf? Something has to move.

Organizationally, the wings now have 17 defenseman who either have played in the NHL or will play in the next two years.

 

[GreatGordie9]

Stupid.

If Berggren is being called up I expected something like this.

 

[lhsgolf19]

Stupid.

lol we traded Kim not Larkin it’s fine jeez… I’d rather have berggren in the lineup than him

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

Alright kids, do we think Stevie is cooking something else up?

 

[Shaman464]

Time to book Woodward for the parade.

 

[Detroit Knights]

This is fine. We didn't want kostin anyways and he just doesn't play.

Guess we suspected correctly that they brought up berggren because a forward was getting traded. So there we are.

This has to mean that Holl is also gone because he doesn't play either.

 

[GarlicbreadTB]

Could be the first domino in order for other trades?

 

[DamonDRW]

We get rid of dead cap space. Excellent move by Steve Y.
