BTW we absolutely love James Wright. Big size, defensively responsible, decent on the PK, and plays our coaches system better than most of our players.
Hate you.
Wanted to keep Wright in our plans.
Not really cause you waited till now to pick up Santorelli. Is Wright playing center or RW?I guess the Santorelli pickup made up for it?
Wing. We have lots of C that are better than him. He was playing with Olli Jokinen for a while. His job was to chase after the puck in the corner and get it to Jokinen.
He's injured right now. We'll probably be re-signing him.
Who?
Wright was playing with Jokinen. Wright is switching from the 3rd to 4th line. Our middle 2 lines seem to change around every 4th game or so, or even during the games. Last night Byfuglien played RW.
Santorelli had no place here and really was just a fill-in for injuries. I'm happy to see him get a chance to be a full-time NHL player in Winnipeg. I heard he held back his tears while saying goodbye to guys in practice, but I'm sure he'll be fine on a possible playoff team.
