Nothing on Helm, but in the DeKeyser thread I posted Khan's update: he is seeing the doctor today in hopes of being cleared for Saturday.
Terrific news. When healthy, this is a top three team in the East. However, many players are injury prone, more so the stars. It's unbelieveable how the bottom six players have stayed so healthy.
Brian Lashoff is obviously going to get bumped. Brendan Smith has absolutely taken his spot. Smith's taken Kindl's too to be fair.
I'm really hoping to see Jurco stick for 5 more games or so. Most Red Wings prospects, forwards, play about 12 games the previous season before coming up full-time. Jurco looks like he could stick now.
28th.

Quite easily a top team in the East. Add in our second/third best defenseman, and then everything just kind of clicks. Despite Howard's troubles, we're strong in net. Despite the Babcock hate, we don't lack a coach. Dats/Z might need a skater though, so I'd be perfectly fine with Abdelkader up there. After the legs are back, can roll the Franzen-Zetterberg-Nyquist line again.
Can even get to Jurco back up there.
