Grand Rapids, keep up. Lashoff was called up to ride pine, and that's what he did. I don't care about Hronek being called up to be a planned sit for 2 games.How can they ACTUALLY play without being called up? Love to hear this answer as well?
If someone caught the flu, got hurt in practice Lashoff would be in the lineup!
You will find no player that would agree to not being called up "because I'll be in the pressbox" the goal is to get to the NHL and make the most of you time whether its 2 mins or 20 of ice time.I'm saying I'd rather the prospects keep playing in the minors then travel to go sit on the Wings bench for most of the game.
You logic is basically "I rather not make the team because I'll only be the backup QB and back ups dont play". I rather be on the bench in the NHL than playing in grand Rapids any injury and I'm on the ice in the nhlGrand Rapids, keep up. Lashoff was called up to ride pine, and that's what he did.

Except he's playing top pair minutes in a professional hockey setting. So not at all similar.You logic is basically "I rather not make the team because I'll only be the backup QB and back ups dont play".
Fans perspective. Players want to be with the big club. And you make more money when you are with the wings too. Literally no player would choose the AHL playing than being next in line in the NHL...I'm saying I'd rather the prospects keep playing in the minors then travel to go sit on the Wings bench for most of the game.
Also the GM's perspective. There's not much point in calling a kid up for 4 minutes of one game.Fans perspective. Players want to be with the big club. And you make more money when you are with the wings too. Literally no player would choose the AHL playing than being next in line in the NHL...
Btw, he played 4 mins in one game last season. He didn't see the ice this callup.They called up a plug D-man for one game and played him 4 minutes in a season where it would be better off to be lower in the standings.
Don't tell me what to do. And we have better options to call up than him. Dare you to tell me I'm lying....

Lashoff is guaranteed 300k and is on a 275k AHL salary. Seems he gets his call up every year to make him whole so the wings don’t have to pay a salary and the 25k when they know he won’t play.
As soon as I saw your dumb sarcastic comment about Redmond I stopped reading just so you know there bud.You are absolutely right. The Wings have better options to call up instead of Lashoff. The Wings should have called up Mickey Redmond to fill in. He is already in the press box and he is between the benches at the start of the 3rd period on home games. It would have saved the Wings plenty on the cap side of things and this would have accomplished the same thing as did Lashoff during his call up.
The Wings dictate (just like all of the other NHL teams) who comes up and who gets sent back down the the AHL. They do this in training camp, before the start of the regular season, during the season, before the trade deadline, and after their season is over. When an injury(s) occur during the season, the NHL team decides if they need a player(s) from their AHL affiliate, when that person is needed (extra body needed, actual replacing an injured or suspended player), how long that person will be needed and when that person is no longer needed to fill in and be sent back down to the AHL.
In this particular case, Lashoff was their to fill in for Daley (not for DeKeyser) time off, which was for 2 games and he was on emergency recall. The Wings had 6 d-men already as Witkowski is their extra forward/d-man. No need for Hronek, Hicketts, Saarijarvi, McIlrath, etc to come up as the Wings felt there was no need for them to be here and basically participate in practice, and watch the games in the press box. That is how it works.
If someone got hurt it could have been for potentially more time.Also the GM's perspective. There's not much point in calling a kid up for 4 minutes of one game.

If it was right before game time Lashoff would be in...And then the Wings could call someone else up.

And what if they made a big impression in ten minutes? And never went back down? Bringing Lashoff up makes zero sensefor ten minutes. Then if it was a serious injury someone would be called up for the next X number of games.
How can they ACTUALLY play without being called up? Love to hear this answer as well?

I wonder who is banged up
Pfft. This is LASHOFF we're talking about here. Him versus Thanos? That would be a snap.The legend. Let’s leave Thanos to Lashoff.
I get what you're saying. A guy whose ceiling is lower than the belly of a snake in a wagon rut isn't who you'd like as next man up. But in this particular scenario, the guy joining the roster is nothing more than a pulse to check the box on filling out a roster card, and has a 99.99999% chance of never seeing the ice, so let the kids keep getting minutes in GR while Lashoff makes an appearance in name only.And what if they made a big impression in ten minutes?
