Waived: Teemu Pulkkinen (Assigned to Iowa)

[Digitalbooya]

He has only played with them on the powerplay.

I could have sworn it was more than that.

I could have sworn it was more than that.

No it was a line in practice for about a minute.

 

[Jesus comma Brodin]

Pulks is useless for you on the 4th line. That roster of yours isn't that strong anyway so tey him in the 2nd or 3rd and pp-time. Saw the last half of the game yeasterday pulks was grear and the 4th line was ur best line.

Coyle is really lost right now, pommers too

[FVM]

Pulkkinen we hardly knew ye. That's rough

 

[gphr513]

It was worth a shot

 

[Huddy*]

The only reason he "cant play for the DRW" is because Holland is stuck in the past. He's scored more goals in his 70 games, than Steve Ott and Drew Miller have scored combined in their last 250 games. Those guys are stiffs and Holland screwed up losing Frk and Pulkinen for them.

Looks like he can't for the Minnesota Wild either, clearly, Holland knows what he's doing.

 

[Lapa]

Well, it was worth a shot.

 

[123TripleDoge]

Hopefully he can help Iowa win!

 

[W75]

Next stop AHL then KHL I suppose. Serviceable player but expectations were bigger in this league. Don't even remember if I saw his slapper even once with the Wild.

 

[Wild11MN]

Who takes his spot though? The 4th line would be Dalpe-Ek-?

Or am I missing someone obvious?

I know his value isn't on the 4th line, and yeah, not really room in the top 9 with everyone healthy.

 

[BusQuets]

Not surprised. Didn't outplay anyone on the roster.

When Haula comes back (probably soon as they waived pulkkinen) Stewart or Pominville i guess.

I'd go:

Haula - Dalpe - Pommer
Zucker - Ek - Stewart

Co-3rd lines, each getting ~12.5 minutes per night each.

Haula is not good as a winger. He should be center over Dalpe imo.

Yeah never mind, I was forgetting Zucker when going through the roster in my head.

Detroit's forward depth =/= Minnesota's forward depth.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

That works for me as well.

 

[Wabit]

I'm hoping he doesn't get claimed and gets sent to Iowa. He was stuck in the Wings' pressbox last year most of the time and limited ice time when he did play.

Top-6 AHL minutes might get him scoring again. ToI might do wonders for the kid after the weird limbo he's been in.

Thinking he'll clear this time. He really didn't up his stock playing with the Wild.

 

[BagHead]

Correct me if I'm wrong, please. Because we picked him off of waivers from Detroit, they get first crack at getting him back, and can then assign him to Grand Rapids, as though he passed through waivers, right?

If that's the case, I won't be surprised if they reclaim him.

 

[DANOZ28]

dang i was hoping for a bill muckalt outburst from pulk. i wish him goodluck.

[Wabit]

Not quite understanding what Russo is saying.

Prosser as a FWD would mean Spurgeon or Scandella is healthy, but Haula is still injured correct?

Swap with Gabriel I get. Pokemon down (or claimed), Gabriel up.

I'm not 100% sure what he means by swapping, but to answer baghead's question, it doesn't sound like Detroit has first crack at Pulkkinen.

 

[BusQuets]

Suter,Parise,Prosser. Who will be the last one to retire as a Wild player? My money is on Prosser.
