Svechnikov, Cholowski, Hicketts, Fulcher
Hirose looked good for 10 games as well, but as soon as the league figured out he's weak AF, they just started running over him. Same with Cholo.I really wonder who is to blame for cholo. Blashill? Maybe cholo himself... He looked so damn good the opening 10 or so games a few years back... Can't believe he's cut bait at this point

He isn't cut bait. That is just fans being impatient and unrealistic about a kid who was always a project. He has played all of two seasons of professional hockey. He clearly needs to have a major mental shift in terms of how he approaches play in the defensive zone but he isn't done developing as a player. This isn't an issue of coaching but an issue of what is between the ears. There is no question that he must become more assertive without the puck and needs to show much more urgency on a consistent basis. He will never be a great one-on-one defender, but we don't need him to be great, just passable at this point.
Now that I think about it, I don't think he is ever really cut bait. He is at worst AHL depth until he hits unrestricted free agency.
Not playing hockey for 10 months due to covid seems to have hurt Cholo's stock on this board more than any number of on ice mistakes ever could...
yeah, that's what the word is around here..Wut? Dude played himself off of the worst defense in the NHL in recent memory.
yeah, that's what the word is around here..
but I think the logic for sending Cholo to the AHL was more about minutes and development, rather than him being any worse than most of the other D-Men on the roster.

ennis Cholowski doesn't know how to play defense. As a defenseman, that is not good.
hah, thanks for that remark.. I've watched every Wings game for the past 10 years+, could it be that we just see the game differently?No, it wasn't. It was because he was struggling to play at the NHL level. Its pretty apparent you're not one to watch the Wings, or even look at stats. Cholo averaged nearly 20 minutes a game when was in Detroit. He was getting all the minutes, and very sheltered minutes at that. Even at the AHL level though he was something like -15 over 30 games, being 4th worst on the team, and the only one to be worse than -10 with less than 45 games played.

FTFY.I think he looks timid, scared of being touched.
