[RED WINGS STOMP]

We may not see him again, the window has him back in late March, early April. Tough to re insert him into the lineup at that point.

Sorry Jeff, feel better.

 

[Coach Reggie Dunlop]

He likely retires from this imo.

 

[redwingsfannn9191]

Oh well

Tuomisto wallinder buium next ... its time to see what the kids got

 

[Winger98]

real rough way to end a career.

 

[Holden Caufield]

Yeah Hernias are no fun at all.

We Probably need to add a defenseman as a result of this… whether it be a Griffin or cheap trade market pickup.

Holl has been awful. McClelland has been very reluctant to use him. Under 10 mins in a game recently.
I Don’t think Tood will want to roll with Holl for the next 2 months.

 

[ShanahanMan]

Better without him

No , we still have f holl

If Yzerman is serious about the playoffs, he needs to go after a stout defensive defenseman for the bottom pair. It doesn’t need to be a notable name, but it needs to not be Holl.

Jan Rutta? Not sure there are a lot of low key RD that we'd be in after. A lot of the decent ones are on teams solidly in the playoff hunt. Savard will be available if Montreal keeps falling out of the race, but a lot of teams might be after him.

Could be better off just bringing up Tuomisto and seeing if he can run with it.

edit: if we expanded it beyond rentals, I'd still look at the Blues. Faulk and Fowler can both play the right side, and their contracts might make them cheaper to pick up.

Lmao ... shoot some laxatives daily in his coffee until he goes and get a few colonoscopies

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

No when it's Holl playing the minutes Petry would have.

Yeah, it’s a tough assignment. I immediately thought of Schenn or Gudas, but if they’re available, I suspect a legit playoff team would outbid us.
