slothfacekilla Posted May 20 Author Posted May 20 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. Quote

I mean the Wild and Panthers both employed Jeff Petry the last two seasons as playoff teams so I think you'd be surprised haha. I would be shocked if there isn't a team out there that wouldn't try a younger guy over someone like that. I also don't see why a team would be forced to keep him in the NHL all year. If he looks that bad in any sort of NHL time you just waive him again and either he goes to another franchise or he's on your AHL team? He isn't due for a huge raise as a RFA either so it really is a low stakes way to get a look at a guy with good size that is still fairly young. But I could also be wrong! Quote
slothfacekilla Posted Tuesday at 07:38 PM Author Posted Tuesday at 07:38 PM You could really see his comfort and confidence improve as the season went on, hopefully he can do it in Detroit next season Quote
Cruzer1 Posted 9 hours ago Posted 9 hours ago Yes, I'm watching Everett Silvertip hockey on dvr right now. Just watching #11. Not hard to find him. 1 Quote
Cruzer1 Posted 8 hours ago Posted 8 hours ago (edited) Great game by Everett and Carter Bear. Bear had a goal and asssist, and the Silvertip machine reaches the Memorial Cup final representing the USA against theKitchener Rangers. Bear first the Wings well, since he's a left handed shot, and he can play the off-wing. Everett won the game 6-1. Edited 8 hours ago by Cruzer1 1 Quote
