I have no idea. Reimer seems the obvious one but it sounds like they really enjoy the 3 goalie situation. I’m not sure which forward goes. Everyone is contributing.
We have a roster spot available. Right now we’re sitting at 12 forwards, 7 defenseman and 3 goalies which is 22 out of a possible 23 roster spots

whose getting waived for kane,?

Why would anyone get waived? They'll just run 13F, 7D, 3G.

After Berggren was sent down, they have 22-man roster.

So no one has to be waived for Kane. It already was Czarnik kind of...

Kane is already on the roster

Glad we nailed this rumor to bed. Good work team!
 
I wouldn’t be opposed to some load management until Christmas. From Thursday onward, they play 10 games in 16 days. They play every other day + have two back to backs mixed in there.

Keep him out of back to backs + one more game off and he’ll be at 7 games in 16 days heading into Christmas and 7 games in 19 days coming out of the Christmas break.

Of course I’m just armchair-ing this to set him up for long term success. If he jumps in and is healthy and playing great? Well then just let him rip.

I'm cool with Kane not going in until Thursday.

The Buffalo game is an important divisional game, the current lineup is on a roll, and there doesn't necessarily need to be the added hooplah of Kane's first game against his hometown team.

Thursday against the cellar-dwelling Sharks? Yeah, that's a game you can tweak a lineup for.

well it looks like ken daniels gets his wish and kane obviously set it up for his first game back to be with the red wings broadcast and not national.
 
That Sharks game worries me a bit, they are playing better, scored 5 on the Rangers last night in NY. Still, we should beat them, but not the total gimme say the Hawks game was last week.

I was laughing because an hour ago I saw a topic on this subject made a few hours ago on that awful Red Wings subreddit and there are 100+ replies back and forth if it should be Kostin or Rasmussen and no one picking up on the fact that we have a spot open and no one needs to sit.

Well... there was a roster spot, but someone will still need to sit out from the lineup. Be it Fischer, Kostin, Ras, whoever.
 
Watched Lalonde's media availability, his comments about Kane's quick learning about systems etc because of his IQ stood out to me. It really struck me we haven't had a player with this level of hockey IQ since Datsyuk/Zetterberg. Going to be fun watching 4D chess on ice again. And high IQ younger players like Debrincat, Seider, and especially Raymond should only benefit from that influence. Really looking forward to this.

And Kane says he's feeling good physically as he works his way back in so that's some cause for optimism.

I don't think we'd have to waive Reimer, I think there would be a market for him. He's played well this year, but unfortunately for him, Lyon has been better. If we don't have room for Reimer, I'm confident we'd get a mid-round pick for him.
 
That's definitely who the coaching staff will pick. They will always default to players they trust to PK to stay in the lineup.
 
Chiclets had a rundown of athletes that had the same resurfacing procedure as Kane. Not a good track record with hockey players but Andy Murray and Undertaker are among the successes.

The one thing that Kane has going for him is that he's the lightest NHL player to have the procedure. Less stress on the joint, hopefully.

Well that's a good sign for Kane considering he went to the same doctor for this procedure as Murray and the Undertaker. The other guys who didn't have as successful outcomes went to different doctors for their procedures, from what I understand.

At least that's what I remember Ken D. saying during the game the other night....

Yeah, I agree there. Mentioned it before. Another thing he has going is that he hasn't had hip issues over a long period of time. Backstrom's has had them for a good while, having his first surgery in 2015, if I recall correct.
