I assume those two start the season on the outside looking in. Leddy, Staal and DeKesyer are probably locked in on the left side to start the season.

 

[Go Wings]

New phone who dis?

 

[FabricDetails]

He supposed to replace Lashoff or something?

 

[jaster]

Needed one more LHD for depth and here he is.

Guessing we carry 8 defensemen this season.

Pretty sure Osterle will play tons with DeKeysers back issue. I bet DeKeyser doesn't play more then half of the season.

Cholowski

Yup Stevie Y always carries 8 Dmen pretty much like Ken Holland.

 

[ShelbyZ]

When healthy, D probably looks something like:

Leddy - Hronek
Staal - Seider
DeKeyser/Oesterle - Stecher
(Oesterle/DeKeyser - Lindstrom)

Oesterle was kind of a Swiss Army Knife for the Yotes. Actually spent more time playing his off side on the right, and saw minutes on the PP and PK as well.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

No Murphy is replacing one of the D guys lost from GR and Osterle pretty much replaces losing Cholowski.

I don't know why science goes out the window for me when I think about DK but I still hope he can get to a decent enough (55-65 games) form.

My dad is a Bronco, so I'm good with this

We shall see how his back acts, I believe it's pretty similar to the Bertuzzi injury.

What year? I graduated in 1983.

 

[MBH]

Replacement-level or lower guy.
He'll have better games and worse games.
Depth guy won't hurt, really. I don't see any young LHD he's knocking out of the lineup since McIsaac's development is delayed and Johansson is overseas.
