Red Wings roster:

Zetterberg - Datsyuk - Abdelkader
Nyquist - Andersson - Tatar
Sheahan - Emmerton - Samuelsson
Aubry - Glendening - Ferraro

Kronwall - Ericsson
Smith - Marchenko
Lashoff - Almquist

Howard
Mrazek

Lines and defensive pairings are my pure guesses. Some of them are same what they have been before.

On that lineup-sheet, Sheahan and Aubry were marked as LW, so I think they will be the wingers of that center logjam.

Should you read something into Marchenko still being on the pre-season roster whilst ouellet and sproul sent down? Is Marchenko ahead in the pecking-order?

No. I think they wanted a look at him before sending him down.

Over at Red Wings Central, they indicated this might mean that Marchenko is headed to Toledo -- a very, very stupid move, if true

What?

Has he really been that bad?

Sounds weird, but Griffins is pretty stacked even with the Jensen-injury.

Paetsch - Almquist
Ouellet - Sproul
Evans - Nicastro

There's enough skilled defencemen, Nicastro gives a better fit as a physical D.

One injury or Almquist promotion in NHL (injury for NHL-guy), and Marchenko is back on the roster. Those will always happen.

I'm sure the Griffins carry 7 defensemen as well and rotate players in and out of the line up. Don't worry a year in the East Coast league won't ruin him.

Just like that Toledo-trip was a total killer for Mrazek?

Goalies often start down there and he was immediately brought up. I even like Nicastro, think the five games he and Smith played together last year in GR were outstanding. But Marchenko didn't cross the pond to play ECHL hockey and watch him tonight, the guy has way too much skill to be down there.

He played on one the KHL giants, granted his ice time wasn't great, but he has moved his wife with him to NA and is willing to do GR, but I am guessing not Toledo and he shouldn't have to, for instance he has already played in a higher quality league than Evans ever has.
