    The Magnificent One

    Default Ian White

    curious what anyone or everything thinks of this guy going into next season and on? seems like he got into the dog house this season in DET. not sure why really considering he did pretty well the season before. is he done? I know most likely he is done in DET but can he find a new home and a decent scoring dman? not predicting 40 points but 30??

    White won't be back in Detroit. He'll find work somewhere, but I think his best days are behind him (odd to say considering he's under 30).

    Update #2: Via RedWingsFeed, MLive's Ansar Khan offers the lamentful tale of one Ian White:


    Ian White played for four different teams in just two seasons before arriving in Detroit, where he thought he found stability. Instead, his tenure ended on a sour note this season. The defenseman who turns 29 on Tuesday will be on the move again.

    “It’s real disappointing to have it end this way,'' White said. “When I came here, and after last year, I thought I might be able to have a long future here.''

    He added, “I love playing here, it’s unfortunate that I didn’t get to play (regularly) this year. It’s probably somewhat doubtful that you bring back some guy that you’re not going to play. The most unfortunate part of our business is moving around all of the time and switching teams, but that’s the nature of the game.''

    White won't be re-signed. If that wasn't obvious when he was scratched for the final nine regular season games and all 14 playoff games, coach Mike Babcock made it crystal clear during locker clean-out day Friday.

    “It didn't go the way Whitey wanted it,'' Babcock said. “Whitey's a real good person, a real good man. We wish him luck.''

    White's season started going downhill following a six-game stretch from Feb. 15-24 in which he posted a minus-6 rating. He was a healthy scratch the next six games. White appeared to re-establish himself, playing from mid-March to early April. But, after rookie Danny DeKeyser made his debut and immediately secured a regular spot in the lineup, White was the odd-man out again.

    “I thought I was playing pretty well,'' White said. “I played seven games in a row and I was on the ice for one goal against. I scored a goal too. Not letting goals in is what I’m paid to do. For whatever reason I wasn’t in the mix. Sometimes that’s how it goes.”

    Sounds a lot like Marc-Andre Bergeron. He finds work but never stays in one city.

    It would be good for White's numbers but if he is the solution they choose for their puck moving dman needs then I fear they could be in for a long season again.

    I forgot Ian White even played hockey..
    Joking aside, there is a reason he can't find consistent work. Ian White appears to be nothing more than a stop gap defenseman, decent overall but never does enough on either side of the puck for any team to value him. Teams always have better options than White within their farm system, either offensively or defensively. White buys those teams a little more AHL seasoning before they make the jump to the NHL.
