Don't think moving Weiss up to top 6 is a good idea right now. He looks flat out awful in nearly every facet of the game. It's more likely he'll bring his linemates down rather than snap out of his slump.
I think we have the emergency card.
You have it only if you play one game with depleted roster first.
Just promote Cleary - Weiss - Sammy to be the 1st line.
Okay. Pavel on LTIR is probably only a matter of time anyway.
Why would they put Pav on LTIR?
Babs will want Glendenning. I think someone like Ferraro, Jurco, Eaves or Toots would help more. Not sure about the salary issues with the later two mentioned.

Just when I was starting to feel positive about this team. So who is the C now? Kronner or Alfie?
Why would they put Pav on LTIR? he could be back in a week or so. Z will go on LTIR since he's for sure out a minimum of 2 weeks and will then need at least a week of practice before he plays.
So much for a .500 record.....

If we can finish .500 this month I'll feel good.
ugh emmerton....makes zero sense
Actually it makes perfect sense considering they didn't have enough cap space for just about anyone.
The Production Line @TPLhockey 4m
The only players who could have been called up with the space available were Parkes, Coetzee, & Emmerton (who was). $1000 away from Callahan
Or they can just go ahead and put Z on LTIR, have 6M+ in cap space and call up whoever they want....
Then Z beasts all over his back injury and is ready to go in 2 weeks and still has to sit out a week+ and everyone calls for Holland's head.Or they can just go ahead and put Z on LTIR, have 6M+ in cap space and call up whoever they want....

Zetterberg said he knew something was wrong the last couple of games. Same disc that bothered him before. Evaluate again in couple weeks.

#RedWings' Zetterberg "It's going to take some time. Hard to say when it happened, but felt worse in OTT."

Henrik Zetterberg (hernia) said he doesn't expect even to practice for 2 weeks. #RedWings

Would loooove to see Jurco get a shot. We just replaced Z with Franzen. Our centers are set. Need a scoring winger to replace.
He's looked fine in the 10 minutes a game he's getting.
Call me crazy, but this could be a bit of a blessing in disguise. The last couple of games it's been the secondary scoring, not the stars, that have been providing the offense. We will fully get to see what the kids can do now, Datsyuk and Zetterberg will be well rested, Datsyuk should be back soon anyway. Weiss should step up in this situation. In a very weak East we can still easily make the playoffs, and a rested Datsyuk and Zetterberg in the playoffs could be huge. Not even close to the end of the world.
Pretty sure we'll be lucky to get him back after only 3 weeks or so. Should put him on LTIR and bring up Jurco instead of Emmerton.
Putting Z on LTIR would open up enough cap space for DD to come back and keep Jurco up, right?
