The Griffins are going to be fun to watch this season.

 

[wingsfannn919191]

Guessing Hanas will be gone soon unless yzerman makes a move to bring up kasper. Also would have been nice to see becher get a look but too many bodies

So him and Cossa

Sounds like the Wings aren't planning on sending down a goalie

None of the 3 are "bad enough" to play in the AHL, either trade 1 or keep all 3

Or we have 3 NHL goaltenders and one, my guess Lyon, going to get traded

I've heard this for like the last 3 seasons. I kinda numb to it by now. It's the AHL. Who knows how good they'll actually be once injuries/call ups happen.

I am whelmed.

They will keep all three, because Yzerman said they will need all three.

And Cossa is the GR starter, good to have him playing the biggest share.

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

I wouldn't be surprised if the Griffs struggle in the beginning again like last year. Trying to mesh some new new vets and no Ed or AlJo, going to take some time for them to gel.

Havent been this burned on a prospect since Zack Nastasiuk.

Now that I think about it, I might have a prospect type.

I don't think so. At last season the season-starting problem was Dan Watson system, which was new for all. It will be easier adjustment this time.

Mazur, Kasper, Shine, Söderblom, Rafferty, Lombardi, Gettinger, Tuomisto, Hanas, Wallinder, Didier, Cossa and Viro are returning from last year. They kind of carry the information, so the new guys can gel in.

Also Buium, Danielson, Finnie, Doucet and Hunter Johannes got short stints.

13 regulars are returning, and 5 of late-season try-outs.

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

Any thoughts on Rychlovsky after the preseason and training camp?

Any thoughts on Rychlovsky after the preseason and training camp?

I completely forgot he was there, which probably isn't a good sign.

 

[RRhoads]

I completely forgot he was there, which probably isn't a good sign.

Yeah, I didn't notice him much either. That is probably a sign that he will be the first forward to be called up.

 

[Henkka]

Any thoughts on Rychlovsky after the preseason and training camp?

He played only 1 game at pre-season.

Was lined up with Söderblom and Finnie on that match.

That was pretty bad game from him, don't see him at Griffins Top6 anyhow. Maybe at offensive 3rd line or something.

Maybe will end up to Toledo 1st line at some point.

 

[lilidk]

I hope Becher in GR and he plays on the same line with Danielson. They have similar style of game, one is more physical the other is more skilled, one shoot left , other right. Both good skaters,size and age
