As a huge Cholowski fan, I remember posting about being conflicted and uneasy about the way he "made" the team. I'm not sure what he gained by being a mercenary on a historically bad team for half a year.
I'm beyond unimpressed with the way the u-23s have been handled this year. You can't blame a plant for not growing in a closet.
Was Ken Holland wrong with his policy, when he wanted to overripen thse guys and not put suffereing in NHL, if you aren't ready?
Everything what is happening now, is what Kenny anted to avoid.
He signed veterans, so the team would play meaningful games. He stated that millions of times. Now we have a kid team, and are seeing blowouts. And people dont like it.
Very funny.
This roster is mostly Ken Holland’s work. Yzerman signed Filppula and Nemeth to insulate the younger guys. Most rational folks in this board understood those moves. Unfortunately, those two aren’t enough to compensate for the sorry state of the roster.
Fair.
Haven't heard if DDK is skating yet? Either trade incoming or DDK nearing return all i can think of.Hmmm....
Green
Daley
Nemeth
Biega
Hronek
Ericsson
Dekeyser
Is Dekeyser skating?
Something around AA for Ghost, Book it.I love the activity from Stevie. That would be awesome if we got a new piece on D. All signs point to it...
I haven't been impressed by Cholo this season and the Griffs need some scoring. Hopefully he shows the offence we saw at the start of last year.

i love it . plus the griffs rugged as heck now which is always good in the ahlMan, GR's D went from thin to stacked in like 48 hours....
I'm thinking bowey, cholowski and mclwrath will be happy to be in GR....play on a respected competitive team in the A rather than the laughing stock team of the big league.Man, GR's D went from thin to stacked in like 48 hours....
Cholowski already should've been in GR, it will help him in the long term, when you're continually in over your head you don't learn anything.
Idk, depends on the human being imo, ask Mark Giordano when he stopped developing.Cholo will soon be 22. When does the development stage for dmen stagnate?

Meh, even if only the Fabbri trade (and Biega though he’s a non factor) look good right now, he’s still at a huge net positive.
Trading away pieces that have no hope of helping us in the future (VS, Pope), from a superfluous position (Regula), or players who just flat out don’t want to be here (AA in the near future probably) is exactly what he should be doing.
So far Yzerman has traded two guys who barely are AHL players, a 4th, Regula, and JDLR for a top 6 forward in Fabbri, two failed rolls in Erne and Perlini, and two players who are at least NHL fill ins (both of who were had for guys who would never sniff the NHL.
most of the moves have been minor but the only two pieces worth literally anything long term were Regula and the 4th. Fabbri alone is worth far more than that, especially given our farm strength in Regula’s position. The rest is just gravy low risk potential high reward dice rolls that landed on “no reward” and cost us next to nothing

I remember supporters of Brendan Smith wanted him to have more and more development time. I guess there is that Mark Giodano scenario just like there's that Nick Lidstrom. Maybe there's still hope for Bowey.
You're confusing, you don't want Zadina near the NHL for his development, but it would be terrible for Cholowski to go to the AHL?I remember supporters of Brendan Smith wanted him to have more and more development time.

Cholo looking like a #5 puck moving 2nd pp qb, and that's okay.
