Confirmed with Link: Dom Shine signed to an extension and recalled from GR

[Preposterone]

Is he playing tonight? TBH i know nothing about his game other than he is past his prime?

He isn’t anything special, but he isn’t past his prime. Basically has been on a constant slow uphill since he was a teenager. I used to skate with him at the griffs Icehouse, and he keeps in crazy good shape

 

[The Real Pastafarian]

if he's going to play hard and willing to fight even just a little bit, this is an upgrade over about 1/3 of our forwards

Congrats Dom. I hope you stay up for a few more games

Pretty incredible story actually.. Can't be many players the past 30-40 years who made their NHL debuts at 31yo.

 

[Chelis Chili]

Shine (31 years, 284 days) became the oldest Red Wings skater to make his NHL debut since Vaclav Nedomansky (33 years, 249 days) on Nov. 18, 1977 and the oldest across the League since Evgeny Medvedev (33 years, 42 days) with Philadelphia on Oct. 8, 2015. Shine, a native of Pinckney, Mich., played minor hockey with the Little Caesars Amateur Hockey program while growing up in Metro Detroit. He skated four seasons at Northern Michigan University as well as parts of nine campaigns with the AHL’s Grand Rapids Griffins.

Good on Shine.

 

[Gniwder]

Maybe... best paying cup of coffee he'll ever get.(1.5years salary).

Two way contract, so he has to stay up to make the money. $120k AHL salary this season, $250k next which is decent, but half of the top paid AHL players.

Thank god we still have one sarcastic poster left, lol.

The main complaint before the season started was that Stevie signed too many plugs like Motte, Fischer, and Watson and didn't leave enough room for prospects. Now that injuries hit both the Wings and GR, people are happy to see a career AHLer on the squad.

Every team needs a tweener they can call up in emergency situations, hope Shine fills that role well.

This screams.... future moving in-coming soon.

Veleno/Motte/Fischer/Rasmussen on the chopping blocks?

I'm happy for him personally; awesome to work and get/go that far even late, as a though fan. *Fart noise* But... again for him personally this has to be awesome, and I feel happy for him. He's 31, somtimes(most of the time) these are the last years of players "good" hockey. Awesome to ride out a millionaire and a really good story, especially if he exceeds expectations.

One if not both will not return next season. Shine will get sent back down once everyone is healthy. I'd be OK if they sent down Motte instead.

I think Shine will still have a waiver exemption for a few more weeks, so yes, he will be the most likely one to be sent down.
