That's the entire reason online forums exist.Call it what you want but that happened and it will continue to happen. You can keep complaining about or accept that this is how they operate.

True.That's the entire reason online forums exist.
If this was the case, Edvinsson would have played 82 games last year (minus injury time). He was obviously at worst our third best defenseman in every single game that he played. Management can make mistakes. We can have a systematic flaw in our evaluation as a team. Last year we didn't get AlJo any games. That was an obvious failure. Berggren barely played, obvious failure. Kasper and Mazur didn't even get a cup of coffee, obvious failure. We had 4 fringe NHL defenseman playing consistent minutes while Edvinsson dominated the AHL, so it's not like playing well in GR is the problem.If they were ready they would have been called up, all the others teams can do whatever they want. Our brass has different plans.
And Yzerman made room for Ed by dumping Walman, after Ed proved he was ready in those games. He earned his call up, when there is a need for call up, earlier and then in those games he proved that can, not only play but contribute for the team.If this was the case, Edvinsson would have played 82 games last year (minus injury time).

Opinions.Mazur was injured until the start of November.
What is this horsehist about him being ready?
Kasper was no-show early at the AHL season. He turned it around at mid-season, but he didn't earn NHL-callup at any point.
Edvinsson had that off-season injury. He got his opportunity later, but it was delayed by ~6 months.
These are pure facts which did slow their callups. You pretty much lose a season, if you lose summer training period or critical months from autumn, to even get game shape at AHL.
It worked out for Raymond and Edvinsson and injuries happen every season. If last season was relatively healthy season, 2022-23 was different, 7th D Lindström played 36 games and 8th D Hägg 38 games. Everyone(myself included) said when Ed arrived to North America that he is ready to play and he started in AHL but was ready enough to get called up for 9 games. After the season everyone said, he's ready to play next season and what does Yzerman? Signs Ghost and Holl and later on trades for Petry. So after all it looks like that very ready looking Edvinsson didn't earn his spot until late this season.the flaw is that you can end up being too relient on injuries creating the time and space for the kids to come up and get that shot. Though it also looks like right now the Wings are leaving a roster spot or two open up front for someone to earn in training camp.
Tenko going with the Cleary.
For some of us this is the late Shawn Burr. I do think because of the end people don't remember Cleary as a much better player than the very end. I always appreciated his game.Cleary , ether way not lucky number
He worked hard , but could not keep up and was a lot of booo toward him and because of that he was getting even more frustratedFor some of us this is the late Shawn Burr.

Cleary was a good skater and one of our better forecheckers before his body gave out. I don't really agree with this. I know at the end he had a lot of problems, out of the lockout when we were competitive he was a very useful guy to us, his speed being one of the reasons.He worked hard , but could not keep up and was a lot of booo toward him and because of that he was getting even more frustrated

the cleary slander is wild he was a incredible reliable dude for 5-6 seasons, not his fault the management kept bringing him back.
