I feel like Wallinder would get claimed on waivers, but only because there are organizations with a lot worse depth than the Wings and there is going to be plenty of cap space available.  He looked a lot better than Tuomisto last night, so I think someone would at least give him a try for basically free.  Wallinder at least has "tools", Tuomisto has no foot speed so he's never looked like he had a real NHL shot.  I doubt Wallinder develops into much though because I think his issues are mental/how he sees the game.  But I'd be shocked if there weren't a couple teams would would give it a try.  I could also just be overrating him haha.

i think most teams have AAAA defensemen on their roster.  and they would have to keep him in the nhl all year.

he might be a throw in for a trade.
