Dekeyser when healthy has been a really solid #4 at his peak, unfortunately because Detroit is so devoid of defensive talent and depth and has been for basically Danny's whole career, he has almost excluslively played above his head as a first pairing guy.

I was optimistic he would be fresh for this season because of the nearly year long offseason for Detroit, but back injuries are really difficult and can have so many complications/ additional impacts on limbs or neck strength and mobility.

I hope he gets some ice time soon whether it is in the AHL or NHL and can get into a groove, so that Holland can trade us a 1st + for him. :D

Wait, so now Dekeyser cleared waivers, is he worth a 2nd rounder like Ranger fans say Tony DeAngelo is worth after clearing? Help me understand.

Word is Dekeyser isn’t recovering as quickly as hoped and as a result doesn’t have the leg strength/drive to skate like he used to. The hope is with another offseason he can get back to 100% and regain that strength and bounce back. I think it’s too early to write him off as toast like Ericsson due to the back. Give him another offseason and make the call next year.
