It's what happens when you call a grown man "Stevie" all the time. Now he has a complex.

Singing Witkowski also adds to the Bronco's reunion as he also played with DeKeyser and Oesterle at WMU.

They are building those Detroit Michigan Red Wings and Werenski will be the real big name to join.

Osterle is Beiga's replacement. Witter is replacing McIlrath.
I doubt he plays a single NHL game next season unless Stevie and Blash decides a team needs to be punished for some reason.

He's likely going to fill a vet role in GR and get called up during injuries. Not a big deal.

If the level of AHL impact is measured by the backwoodsman-ness of one's beard...
... Then Grand Rapids is the next City of Champions.

He will be in GR to protect Raymond / other young prospects if they dont make the team is my guess

If you can't win, be local.
Fortunately, I think Yzerman isn't committed to this Michigan thing the way some might hope.

He'll get time in Detroit.
Would have rather had McIlrath, but no biggie.
Always impressed by McIlrath in Detroit.
I would bet money that somewhere down the line, Witkowski and/or Glendening are coaches with Blashill somewhere.

Are they going to invent a way to win games without scoring?
On a side note, I thought the price tag for Mc was high at $450k/$475k for 2 years, and I just realized Witter signed a one way contract for $750k. Would actually have been cheaper to keep McIlrath, not that I care about Chris' money.

Fun player for the Wings, will be fun on the Griffins.
I did not like seeing Witkowski go. A liability often, but remember when he beat up two opposing players before being sent to the box? Or that goal which was like the highlight of the season?

Yeah, as a Holland signing this would be "blocking a prospect" -move and this board would be furious.

For matters like this I'll save my irritation for when we see the opening night lineup. Or the training camp lineups that serve as precursors.

Seems like mostly a GR signing. I am starting to get a little concerned about the priority of locally tied players. Its not necessarily a bad thing but I hope collecting every Michigan born or schooled hockey talent doesn't become and obsession that crowds out BPA's
