How many games does ___ play on the Wings this year?

[Frk It]

We have a roster logjam, but we have a lot of kids in lines to get some games in with the Wings this year.

So how many games do you think the following players will get this year with the Red Wings?

Forward
Tatar, Nyquist, Jurco, Sheahan, Ferraro

Defenseman
Ouellet, Sproul, Almqvist

Goalie
Mrazek

Here's my guess

Tatar- 60 games
Nyquist- 50 games
Ferraro- 10 games
Sheahan- 5-7 games
Jurco- 0 games

Almqvist- 8 games
Ouellet- 5 games
Sproul- 2 games

Mrazek- 5 games

What are the circumstances of Mrazek playing? I kinda figured he'd only play if Gus/Howard got injured. And if this season is anything like last season, Gus will play almost no games and not get injured, leaving Howard the likely injury?

Scary.
