Recalled/Assigned: Who comes up next?

[Wood Stick]

Let's assume Smith and Bertuzzi are out a bit after watching those horrible injuries.

One forward and one D.

[Claypool]

Ott comes in, Kronwall comes back. No call ups

 

[Sheriff Bert]

If Kronner can play next game there's no need for a call up. I think that our D is finally at its optimal lineup if so.

If somebody else is called up for any reason it's probably Nosek, even though I would much rather see Svechnikov or Frk.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Jurco+Kronwall. Is a call-up needed after that? Would like to see Russo if so.

 

[Leronziia]

I'd like to see what Russo can do.

The safe option to rotate on the 4th line would probably be Nosek.

 

[Flowah]

Nosek is fine with me.

Decent game. Too bad.

 

[KJoe88]

No one. And we don't need anyone.

Russo is the only one I'd like simply due to curiosity.

 

[SoupNazi]

Ott is back, as is Kronwall.

I'd really prefer they call up Russo but I don't see them needing a forward at this time.

 

[Henkka]

Ott comes in, Kronwall comes back. No call ups

This. And Jurco comes up.

 

[Rzombo4 prez]

Jurco+Kronwall. Is a call-up needed after that? Would like to see Russo if so.

Jurco had a set back. I expect them to call up Nosek if they decide they need another forward.

 

[Laser Rayzor]

 

[SpookyTsuki]

Everyone. Like me who is voting for svech just wants the quality player. We all know it would be nosek or callahan

 

[Filppula]

Frk's playing well in GR, 6 goals 10 games. But if we recall him, and eventually players return, we'd have to waive him again right? Risky.

 

[MBauer]

Everyone. Like me who is voting for svech just wants the quality player. We all know it would be nosek or callahan

Well considering Svech doesn't look very good in the AHL calling him up is probably a poor idea.

 

[Wood Stick]

Jurco+Kronwall. Is a call-up needed after that? Would like to see Russo if so.

We're rolling with no spares by the sounds of things. What if someone is under the weather, or a player goes down on a road trip? Not to mention Kronny in back to back nights.

Jurco could be a few weeks away with that stiffness in his back. Ideally he plays some more games with Grand Rapids first.

I kind of like Martin Frk as I think he's a better option in the top nine than Luke Glendening honstly.

I like Nick Jensen. I think he's better at the NHL level right now than Russo. He's the safer option and is speed with Smith going down, potentially for a bit.

 

[Reddwit]

Ott comes in, Kronwall comes back. No call ups

Ott and Kronwall were the extras. We still need extras.

I'd go with Nosek or Callahan and use them as the 13th forwards for the next few games until Jurco has a handful of AHL games under his belt.

Then my call-up would be Jensen if it's for the press box, but if there's a road trip, I'd bring up Russo. He has an NHL future. Jensen doesn't. We need to see what he's got before it's all said and done.

Edit: People seem to be forgetting that Marchenko is injured right now - not scratched. Kronwall was our #7 tonight. We need another defenseman with Smith and March out, even with Kronwall and XO in.

Svech is nowhere near the quality player right now. He has tons to learn.

I think Nick Jensen plays over 100 games in the NHL. Jensen can PK a bit. I just don't see the need for all of Green, Sproul and Russo.

I'm not going to say Jensen definitely won't get 100 NHL games with some team - bizarre things happen when injuries strike - but I would confidently bet against Jensen playing more than a sporadic ~35 games in the NHL.

We disagreed about this in the other thread, where it wasn't really the place to debate, but here I'll say that I don't think Jensen has NHL IQ - Russo does. Jensen is the safer player at the AHL level, sure, but that means next to nothing at his stage. He's a comfortable minor-league vet, Russo still has an unpolished ceiling to reach.

As for having Green/Sproul/Russo, I don't see the problem. For all the (relative) defensive diatribes against them, Green and Sproul are more than competent defensively, and Russo, at this level, wouldn't be the risky player (he's never been that guy to begin with). In my opinion, he's the inverse of Jensen because of their IQ - Jensen is the confused guy at this level; Russo is the simplified guy at this level.

Do you remember when everyone talked about Landon Ferraro for years coming up and taking Drew Miller's and thriving? He came up and got destroyed at this level. Couldn't even clear the puck on the PK. I think it's a similar case with Russo. I don't think he's ready.

Russo definitely played sheltered minutes last year and ran into trouble at times. I know it was preseason but he looked pretty bad this season there. I think Nick Jensen can come up and honestly, maybe fit in well with Kronwall or Ouellet. His skating is too good. He'd be passable in sheltered minutes. I'd be okay with Russo if we didn't have Green and Sproul playing an offensive role.

Sproul already plays a sheltered role defensively. Jensen makes sense to me. Russo gets a bigger role in Grand Rapids.

We have pretty much nothing to gain from calling up Jensen. He's not what the team needs now or in the future.

This team needs to do everything they can do sort of get over the hump of not having enough skill to execute on plays. The trick is to bring in players like Mantha, AA, Sproul, and maybe Russo or Svechnikov. And maybe eventually you start seeing a team that is able to put on more pressure offensively and isn't constantly stuck in the defensive zone.

 

[Leronziia]

Yes, yes, yes.

Get me defensemen that can move the puck in transition competently.

 

[ricky0034]

yeah he's just flat out not ready

Frk is probably the right pick if possible upside is what you're looking for,probably not worth putting him back on waivers just to get like 1-2 games in though

anyways I voted for Russo/Nosek

 

[Wingsfan 4 life]

I don't think they need to call up a forward. Jurco could be ready to go by Tuesday's game, whether he actually plays over Ott is up in the air.

As for D, might not need to call up one either, it depends how serious Smith's injury is. If we do call up someone, IMO it'll most likely be someone who doesn't need to clear waivers, which would eliminate 2 of the 3 D listed. I'll go off the board and say Renouf for no real reason other than he'll be stuck in the press box.

 

[Henkka]

Yes, yes, yes.

So let's put Kronwall back in.

Our defence will be at their best on next games whoever are in the TOP6, because the biggest black hole in Red Wings Universe, Brendan Smith, is off from the lineup.
