Nice!

Does this mean we don't have to call up any D?
Lashoff flu? Q "bumps and bruises" ?

 

[RedWingsForPresident]

Ok, so what happens now? DeKeyser being on LTIR is the only reason Nyquist got the call up if i recall right? So who goes now?

I think it'd have to be Sammy or Cleary, right? Anyone have a better understanding on the situation?

 

[Vladdy84]

Possibilities.

1. Tatar is traded.
2. Sammy is traded.
3. Cleary Waived.
4. Alfie to LTIR.

 

[SoupNazi]

Great news!

Bye bye Sammy?

 

[Brandel*]

possibilities.

1. Tatar is traded.
2. Sammy is traded.
3. Cleary waived.
4. Alfie to ltir.

lg #3!!!

1. Tatar is traded.
2. Sammy is traded.
3. Cleary Waived.
4. Alfie to LTIR.

Or Miller is waived or Andersson.

 

[RedWingsForPresident]

Trading Tatar would be very dumb IMO. This guy has potential to put up 60 points a season down the road when he develops. This Cleary signing is really coming back to bite us in the A now

 

[Vladdy84]

Or Miller is waived or Andersson.

Babs loves Andersson and Miller has 2 years left.. Miller can actually PK, skate, hit etc. It's really a slap in the face to players like Eaves, Toots and Miller getting waived while #71 stays. I don't think they'll waive him.

 

[crashman]

Or Miller is waived or Andersson.

I think Andersson has trade value and I just don't see them wanting to part with Miller.

 

[SoupNazi]

Possibilities.

1. Tatar is traded.
2. Sammy is traded.
3. Cleary Waived.
4. Alfie to LTIR.

I am expecting Sammy to be waived.

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

I'm slightly afraid. I have the feeling Kenny will do something stupid to keep Cleary/Sammy around.

 

[Vladdy84]

I am expecting Sammy to be waived.

Stupid. Sammy hasn't been terrible. No cap relief waiving him either.

 

[RedWingsForPresident]

I am expecting Sammy to be waived.

I thought Sammy had a No Move Clause? Or does he only have a No trade clause?

 

[Flowah]

#3 is the right call.

But I fear #1.

 

[tunasnacks*]

Sammy, Cleary, Quincey waived and AA promoted?


Or Tatar, Cleary, Quincey to Winnipeg for Kane?

 

[InjuredChoker]

isn't it sort of sad/pathetic that this is one of the best things that has happened this year?

but anyway, as pgt said, better late than never. they're not tards. interesting to see how this plays out.

nyquist brings an element this team lacks. when everyone is healthy i'd go

z-d-alfie
nyquist-weiss-franzen
tatar-helm-abby
who-gives-adamn

bert is on short leash. he is good at protecting the puck and along the boards but can't do much else.

 

[hyduK]

great news. hope they handle it the right way though, losing tatar over this when there's bums like cleary around would be horrible.

 

[Chance on Chance]

this is great news, when healthy(and if Weiss picks it up) wings will have a dangerous top 9

 

[Winger98]

I thought Sammy had a No Move Clause? Or does he only have a No trade clause?

He has a no trade. We only gain $100K in cap space if we demote him, though.

 

[ricky0034]

good news but i'll believe it when I see it

and i'll believe Tatar isn't gonna get traded or at least benched to keep room in the lineup for Cleary when I see it too

really don't trust Holland/Babcock at all

 

[hyduK]

He has a no trade. We only gain $100K in cap space if we demote him, though.

yeah. might as well just keep sammy and bench him...try and trade him if possible, otherwise just let the contract expire.

 

[mindfly]

So when he plays the game on saturday he has to go through waivers to be sent down to the AHL? (Meaning he's here to stay permanently since Kenny doesn't like to give up on these kind of players?)
