TBL might claim reimer with Vasi out long-term. If your going to waive reimer, I'd rather get something out of it because he has shown pretty capable this preseason/camp.
lalonde's comments on copp do not indicate that at all though. He said he looks great and it shows how having a preseason really helps players get acclimated...Let them. He can inadvertently help Detroit make the playoffs by going to someone we're competing against.
Also, looking at a Ben Chiarot buyout as of next year, it would be better to trade him at 35 to 50% retained. It may not return much but long term it helps the team more.
An Andrew Copp buyout in 2025 might be needed. If this preseason is any indication, he's looking even slower than last year.
Austin Czarnik, Tim Gettinger, Taro Hirose, John Lethemon, Jared McIsaac, Wyatt Newpower, Brogan Rafferty, and Nolan Stevens on waivers today.

not saying I disagree, just going off of lalonde's comments before yesterdays tor game.Hopefully McIsaac gets picked up today. He looks like a bottom pair defender at the AHL level. I'd rather someone else take that spot than him.
The eyeball test looks like he's losing a step every year in his blueline to blueline speed. He has looked inconsequential in all the preseason games I've watched.
Fingers crossed Czarnik gets through.Austin Czarnik, Tim Gettinger, Taro Hirose, John Lethemon, Jared McIsaac, Wyatt Newpower, Brogan Rafferty, and Nolan Stevens on waivers today.
I think the simplest fix is the most likely one. Danielson, Ed, and Berggren all go down. A defenseman is traded at the deadline or sooner. Wouldn’t be shocked if we flipped a goalie after carrying 3 for a bit.
It's going to be a good year for Griffins hockey for sure. They're getting a huge infusion of talent.Red Wings reduce Training Camp roster to 37 | Detroit Red Wings

DETROIT – The Detroit Red Wings today assigned forwards Alexandre Doucet, Marco Kasper and Amadeus Lombardi, defensemen Albert Johansson, Antti Tuomisto, Eemil Viro and William Wallinder, and goaltender Sebastian Cossa to the American Hockey League’s Grand Rapids Griffins. Additionally, the Red Wings released forwards Joel L’Esperance, Riley Sawchuk, Dominik Shine and Tyler Spezia, defenseman Josiah Didier, and goaltender Michael Hutchinson from their professional tryouts.
Or he doesn't want to give away players for free through waivers and knows that this is the absolute worst time of year to try to move someone. Anyways, Chiarot is not getting waived in the next week. You can all put your dicks back in your pants because it isn't going to happen.To make easy decisions you don't need good executives, those can make everyone. I think Edvinsson belongs on this team, he clearly one of Top 4 defensmen on this team. If you are as good of a GM as people say Yzerman is, you solve this problem - he basically said that himself before the camp. If Edvinsson is going down, because Yzerman is afraid to hurt Chiarot's feelings, he might be not up for the job.

Ed will go down to begin. Injuries will happen and he will be up in no time. At that point you explore trades or waivers if you still need to open a spot permanently. If you have actual aspirations of being competitive, depth is genuinely important.
If he spends the first 20+ games in GR, I'll agree. But I'm not expecting that to happen. There's nothing magical about playing games 1-77 versus games 6-82. Ed does deserve to play with the big club, it's just a matter of how soon they can do so without losing an asset for nothing.Shipping Ed to GR would be such a cowardly decision. It basically tells every kid that it's impossible to beat a veteran for a roster spot. Your only chance is an injury.
Yeah players like Seider and Raymond have never made the team at a young age.Shipping Ed to GR would be such a cowardly decision. It basically tells every kid that it's impossible to beat a veteran for a roster spot. Your only chance is an injury.
This is where somebody else jumps in to prematurely declare Raymond a bust.Yeah players like Seider and Raymond have never made the team at a young age.
Ray only got a shot due to injury. Seider got his job because he had a pulse and no one else did.Yeah players like Seider and Raymond have never made the team at a young age.
