Confirmed with Link: Wings claim Jacob de la Rose off waivers

[ShelbyZ]

According to Kahn and HSJ:

-Daley ready for tomorrow (so he comes off IR)
-DeKeyser expected to miss a couple more games (probably goes on IR)
-Daley in
-Hicketts out
-Rasmussen back in
-Frk back out

Maybe Hicketts goes down?

 

[ThankGord]

from EliteProspects (in his draft year):

A true team player and leader. de la Rose always gives 100% and leads his team with his intensity and work ethic. Has an edge to his game and does not shy away from the rough stuff. Has good timing in his hits. Sound defensively. Not likely to become a high scoring player, as he is not a natural scorer, but his strong two-way and forechecking ability along with his attitude makes him a very valuable part of any team. (EP, 2013)
​

Sounds like exactly the kind of player Wings management goes for (for better or worse). Hopefully the change of scenery will do him good.

 

[Frk It]

Why?

Cheap/young good bottom 6 player.

Hopefully allows us to replace one of the old/expensive guys in the bottom 6.

Hopefully! This pick-up coupled with a trade would be great but I'm not holding my breath.

 

[SoupNazi]

Hopefully he does just need a change of scenery. Let’s give him a good look; he can’t be worse than what we currently ice.

Realistically, which old/expensive bottom 6 player is going to get replaced? I don't see Abby/Helm/Glenny getting moved/waived. Coaching/management love them too much.

 

[Ezekial]

f*** it, Ehn to 2C and put this kid at 4C. Hell throw Nielsen there, f*** em.

 

[Goalie guy]

So is Ehn moving up? AA back to wing? AA Ehn Van?

especially considering Abby/Helm have bad enough contracts that the Wings would not only need to toss a guy they like but retain money to do so in order to move them

DLR played great hockey after the Plekanec trade last year. I didnt want the Habs to re-sign Plecky because I knew this meant he would lose his place. With Kotkaniemi making the team and with Peca surpassing him on the dept chart, DLR 's career with the Habs seemed over. Alot of Habs fans think he could pull a William Karlsson 2.0, but I really doubt this could happen. Hes good defensively, good speed, not that physical for his size. I wish good luck to DLR with you guys.

Danny DeKeyser (hand) expected to miss 10-14 days, see how he responds over coming week. #RedWings

They'll probably waive Frk.

Again.

 

[Mister Ed]

Sent Sulak to GR, there's the move.

 

[Ezekial]

They activated Daley.

Wasn't Svech to IR the move that opened up for DLR?

 

[ThankGord]

Svech is on SOIR, Daley replaces Sulak. Still needs to be one more move for DLR to come off of IR.

[Lovonov]

Pretty sure Svech has been on IR longer than the existing surgery news.

 

[L4br3cqu3]

Habs fan chiming in.

DLR is pretty good defensively and skates very well for his size, seems very coachable too, he had some offensive potential but was rushed by the morons we had at the time, won't do much offensively in consequence. Can hit pretty hard when he wants to, and he was even crashing the net last season at timea, which was nice to see. One of the few players we had with size, oh well...

Maybe a fresh start elsewhere will do him good, probably won't ever be a world-beater, but hey, who knows.

I don't think DeKeyser is on IR yet. If he's going to miss 10-14 days and they need to make space, he can go on IR retro to when he was first hurt.

Using that waiver wire priority.

 

[RedMenace]

Using that waiver wire priority.

Silver lining.

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

I would have rather called up Turgeon, but this isn't the end of the world. Would rather have used the high waiver priority on someone who doesn't top out as a 4th line player though. Not that it would have happened, but you never know with waivers.

 

[Dotter]

Nice pick up.

Who is going to be young and a top 9 player to hit the waiver wire?

I don't believe there's a "back of the bus" rule after a waiver claim. At least, I can't find anything that says so. I think if you have priority, you maintain it as the standings dictate.

Instantly becomes our best player.
