Good on you, Riley.

He seems like a good guy. Would have been awesome if he burst out of a telly tubby costume.

That is really cool, love to see these guys get active in the community.

Riley's a good dude. I know he's active with The Humane Society as well which earns him high marks in my household. The prom outing will make for a very happy fan.

Riley Sheahan is a nice boy. He helps puppies and cheeldren. There's a reason why he's my second favorite dude on the team. I just wish he was better at playing ice hockey.

He is just fine. You just need to understand as well as the coaches that he is a 3rd line center. He isn't a top 6 player which is fine.

He looked a million times better in a more defensive role on the 3rd line with Abdelkader flanking him. Hopefully that's a position he settles into and can thrive at. Having a 3rd line that can be used in a shutdown scenario while also chipping in some offense is really valuable.

I know the Wings have traditionally aimed for 3 scoring lines, but lately that's really diluted the scoring talent across the top lines. Overflow the top 2 lines with scorers then rely on your bottom 6 to grind out dirty goals and take defensive draws. Get size and speed in that bottom 6 and make them a real pain to play against. Sounds like that's part of the plan, following both Holland's and Blashill's quotes. More defined roles and such.

Awesome move from what seems to be like an awesome person. Good for him on giving back to the community.

Good stuff.

By the way, did anyone else read the title wrong?
