Holland is salivating right now...
Petry for your 1st. The Kyle Quincey special.

Is it to give Justin Holl a chance to suck out there for a couple games? They had too many RD
Seider (never sitting)
Ghost likely won't sit either as he plays the PP for them.
To be completely honest, Detroit has good depth as far as bottom pairing defense goes.
... The problem is they've got about 5 guys who are good bottom pairing D, Walman and Seider who are good top pairing D, and their only good Top 4 guy is in the AHL because he's waiver exempt.
Ghost also wont likely sit because he's a prime candidate for a 50% retention TDL move if Detroit is a seller come February.

When they played NJ, I really liked his play.... Of course it might help that I was cheering for the Devils.
He's been the worst of the 7 D in my opinion
Of the 4 famous "terrible" D I'd rank so far this season:
Holl
Chiarot
Ghost
Petry
This isn't surprising though, I imagine there will be rotation for all 5 of the bottom D at points until 2 get hurt and Edvinsson usurps a spot.

Holl isn't great, but also isn't nearly as bad as was advertised.
Granted... 2 game sample.
He and Chiarot both solid buyout candidates.
They may wait a year on Chiarot, though.

The bottom 4 consists of Holl, Maatta, Petry, Gostibehere and Chiarot... that is beyond terrible. I guess Holl and Maatta could make a "passable" 3rd pair but none of these players can play on the 2nd pair. Maybe they'll prove us wrong and be better as the season goes along but considering all these defensemen were players other fanbases couldn't wait to get rid of (ok maybe not Maatta)... these first 2 games have shown exactly why... and we are led to believe Edvinsson isn't better than any of these guys, lol.
On the flip side, the forwards are looking great.

I understand leaving Ed down if you don't want to "Lose" a guy for nothing... But then you probably shouldn't have made the "Best players will play" comment.
Another issue may be, while we all agree Chiarot sucks, I think we can all also agree that waiving him right after his Dad died would be a really, really bad move.

I don't think this is a story. Detroit's going to rotate players in and out of the lineup.

I have no idea what Detroit is doing with their defense
Forwards finally starting to click, adding high end pieces. Goaltending is somewhat stable, with solid prospects in the pipeline - so naturally they should go and tether themselves for years to Justin Holl, Ben Chiarot, Olli Maata and Jeff Petry
They're lucky they stole Jake Walman or it would be Seider and the Bottom Pairing Bunch

They signed plugs while the kids developed rather than do something like tie themselves to a Ryan Graves or Scott Mayfield length deal.
I can't fault them for that, but I can fault them when one of the kids is clearly ahead of those guys, and Edvinsson clearly is.
Also, it's not really fair to lump Maatta in that group. He's been good. I'd gladly keep him around until Wallinder pushes the roster.

Petry was a top pairing dman two years ago. The fact he's considered a bottom pairing dman now shows he's falling off hard year to year now.
Not uncommon with non-elite players in their mid 30s lol.

Tether for years?
Petry and Maatta's contracts end next season. Holl and Chiarot's the season after that.

Yes - making their contracts all 2-3 years long
Not to mention I doubt Chiarot sees the end of that contract. (Which certainly isn't a glowing review of the contract, but it's easily bought out)
So... Uhh... Short term deals?

FWIW, Holl looked better than him against Tampa. And Maatta needs to not be in the press box.

Think if I found you a microscopic scalpel, you could find some actual hairs to split?
You claimed we tethered ourselves to guys for years and mentioned guys on 2-3 year deals and I'm the one splitting hairs?
Lol, OK bud. You're right. The sky is falling. What we gun do?!

They don't want to rush a bunch of rookies onto their defense, and then be forced to call up mediocre AHL d-men when there's injuries.
