Poor Pookie. So much promise. Sweet dreams sweet prince.

Kind of. Some kid won a competition against another.

Here is what everyone wished....Let's see what happens!

Does he get claimed? Certainly a bottom dweller team will take a shot at him yea?

Roster is full without him.

Z-Nielsen-Tatar
Goose-Larkin-Abby
Vanek-Helm-Sheahan
Miller-Glenny-Ott

Extras: Jurco (hurt), AA, Mantha

I wouldn't think so. I don't think they would just let AA sit in the press box. Unless they decide to not play Miller or Ott, I don't think this has anything to do with AA tbh.

 

[lhsgolf19]

Good... below average player

 

[Yzerman1919*]

This makes the Frk waiver a lot better for me...

 

[WingedWheel1987]

Hooray. Usually the Wings would have just kept a player like him around for another year or two.

 

[Heaton]

This tells me that Pulkkinen was destined for waivers then, he's never shown anything in the NHL and AA has shown way more.

 

[Frk It]

I don't really understand waiving both Pulkkinen and Frk, but I guess I am going to wait to hear some details on what the plan is here up front.

 

[Heaton]

Then who made the team? Pulkkinen was the 13th forward and we just lost Frk. It has to be AA.

 

[Henkka]

So now this is good asset management, when people are celebrating waived Pulkkinen, but waiving Frk was bad asset management?

 

[InGusWeTrust]

Could this be cap related as well? Is Jurco back yet?

 

[Heaton]

To be honest, if both get claimed it's bad asset management on both sides. Pulkkinen had a ton of value coming off his AHL playoff run, Holland should have used that value back then when people were clamoring for it.

It could be Nosek, he wouldn't be a bad guy to have in the press box.

I don't see AA being an extra forward, and I haven't heard of any injuries.

One can only hope, Or it opens up a spot for Jurco when he comes off LTIR next month as the 13th forward.

I hope it's AA, we go with 8 defencemen and Miller/Ott will rotate. Or Miller just sit as 13th.

both are bad asset management imo

The problem with that is that we shouldn't be putting AA on the team as a 13th forward. The only way it makes sense is if a top nine player (Vanek maybe?) is going to be the 13th forward and AA will play instead. Mantha and AA should be in the top 9 or on GR'S first line.

 

[Yzerman1919*]

Watch today we trade for Fowler and open up a permanent spot for AA/Mantha

Back to reality

I don't think it's reasonable to expect AA to play 82 games as a rookie, so it could be AA.

 

[Henkka]

Vanek is not gonna sit. He looked good.

It's a debate between Miller/Ott. also Nosek works as a bench-warmer.
