If we win out then please be mad at the other team, this rosters is not built to go on an 8 game win streak.

No, the Wings are clearly doing everything in their power to win hockey games and **** over our draft position. Jake Chelios in 2019 is clearly our team's savior.

The rebuild is done!

At this point I wish we had the moves available to get Bertuzzi, Chelios, Holmstrom, and Lindstrom in the lineup for 1 game.

Who says we don't... You don't know if Ryan Kuffner will all of a sudden come down with the sniffles. Witkowski a splinter in his hand from punching someone's stick.

Maybe AA gets allergic to his gear for three nights and it clears up like a miracle.

Chelios has earned the call-up, he's put together a good year in GR.

Over Sulak and Cholowski?

 

[SoupGuru]

What do you say to your teammate after the game where you put him on the injured list?

"Ha ha, that was crazy... so... did you see that last Walking Dead?"

 

[Kingpin794]

Thanks for taking Chelios off our hands for a game or two.

 

[Winger98]

Over Sulak and Cholowski?

I think Cholowski got his look and now, more importantly, has his list of things to work on in GR. Sulak just doesn't impress me. He hasn't put up better numbers than Chelios, and he's already gotten a short look in Detroit. After Hronek was called up, I'm not sure anyone in GR has necessarily separated themselves from each other. I could see an argument for Hicketts to get another look or even Saarijarvi to get a quick look (and a pro paycheck).

Another thing, I think Chelios is a pro contract in GR. I think McIlrath and Puempel are, too.Part of Detroit's callups might be just giving GR some wiggle room with the number of vets they are allowed to dress on any given night.

 

[Nugget910]

#84 for Chelios never worn before.

#84 for Chelios never worn before.

Send it to the rafters. Have a ceremony tonight

 

[Marky9er]

Ocho-Quattro!

Chelios has a DRW contract and will be a UFA after the season, same with McIrath. Puempel has a DRW contract that ends after next season

Chelios, Puempel and McIlrath are the kind of call ups I think are fine when you are a struggling team late in a season. Why not let them play and see if they can bring something we don't have. They are on expiring or soon expiring contracts, so why not see what they got?

 

[WesNichols14]

This is also a decent Payday for these AHL lifer types. When trying to recruit guys for grand rapids to fill out the roster, their agents will see that the Wings do this and feel better about recommending GR as an option.

Also at this point in the year, getting to add any attraction or positive news story about the team is a bonus. Seeing a Chelios is a Wings jersey again was neat, and added something to an inconsequential game.

 

[DetroitRed]

Ocho-Quattro!

Quatre-vingt-quatre !

 

[GrGriffins]

Yes.

McIlrath I've seen enough of already. I don't know what else he's focused on inside the offensive zone besides the puck but he's been caught moving away from the boards a couple times at moments when he was needed to trap the puck inside the blue line. He needs remedial training.

Puempal has been working his ass off like a player who knows that if he can score, it could be worth a million dollar contract. Unfortunately, his production doesn't seem to have improved since Ottawa. For a guy drafted in 2011, I gotta think that he's a career AHL player. Time's about up.

Chelios, we shall see what he does with this moment. But I think though that there's a few defenders ahead of him in Grand Rapids.
