They would do that purely for the cap purposes anyway, though I hope the guys are getting healthy over the break. I would like to see Wallinder get some games once we sell off some guys or later in the year when there is an opportunity.
Not only Wallinder, also Tuomisto and Buium. It's kinda crazy Yzerman still in the hunt for wild card and trying to win games. How about letting kids to play couple of games, so they have idea about NHL.

We're 8 pts back of last wildcard, we aren't in the hunt at all right now.

If you want to tank I'm not sure I'd play the kids yet. They might do too well, at least compared to who they'd be replacing.

Which defenseman is Stevie gonna sell? Holl? Chiarot? Petry? Gus (lol)?

Virtually every playoff team would be better off calling up their 2 best AHL defensemen before trading for any of those players. The only hope for a callup would be someone getting injured.

Danielson not ready, Mazur and Lombardi needs to fully recover from injuries. I only see Watson and Soderblom move to Red Wings, both already played in NHL, both could never have chance again to play in NHL, both 4th liners
