    Nyquist is making an NHL salary in the AHL. This isn't gutless, it is just business. He's knows he'll be up when the Wings veterans get injured. Not much Babcock can do when Holland signs some guys for no reason.

    It's gutless when he talks about people coming into camp fighting for spots when they're given to select players because of business. Most people saw what was happening from the start, especially once Cleary was brought back. Why can't he just have been honest and say "Jurco, Pulkkinen, Sproul, etc.? You're going to end up in GR. Nyquist? You're exempt from waivers, so you'll be there too. Tatar? You were the AHL playoffs MVP and one of the best players in camp, but we like veterans better, so you'll sit until whenever because maybe we also don't like your attitude"? because honestly, that's what happened. Who cares if people would be less motivated in camp? it didn't matter in the end, so they could have just gone with the idiotic lines they have now from the get go and build chemistry. Whatever.

    Some of those vets played horribly. Last I heard, they could have been sent down to the minors instead, and fat chance of anyone claiming them.
    When teams refuse to ice their best lineups because of 'business'...that's just ridiculous. It would make more sense to play the kids, get them to adapt to the NHL fully, bench them here or there in place of vets with fresh legs, and everyone ends up with gas in the tank come the post-season...the vets are fresh, and the kids are playing closer to their potential most likely, and their energy would be a boon.

    Why can't Holland just admit he made a business mistake and suck it up fr the good of the team? It's not like he doesn't have forward depth to spare.

    Well Tatar was scratched for Emmerton last night because they need a centre, so you can't put it all on Holland. All I know is it's only a matter of time before Bert, Samuelsson or Cleary go down with an injury and they'll be in the lineup.

    Not a very good game for the Wings tonight.

    But for poolies it should be noted that once the Wings were down by 2 they started rotating players on the Datsyuk and Zberg line. Franzen and CLeary both saw time on it in the later stages of the game.

    It is either going to need an injury to one or some of the vets or a string of losses before Babcock starts to use the youth properly on this team. They have been patient with their prospects but tnow they are ready they should let them loose but the way they are using them now could be doing more damage than good imo.

    Tootoo was cleared to play today making the picture even murkier for Tatar and Nyquist. After watching Detroit lose to Phoenix tonight, I can only hope Tatar gets the nod next game.

    Time for some action is coming! Helm and Eaves are on their way back....with Helm being reassigned to Grand Rapids! Awesome news for a guy who has barely played in two seasons.

    Weiss has moved to third line centre in practice today

    Ansar Khan ‏@AnsarKhanMLive 14m
    Weiss bumped to third line with Cleary and Tatar. That leaves Andersson centering fourth line with Miller and Tootoo.

    Abdelkader back on top line with Datsyuk and Zetterberg. Franzen centering second line with Alfredsson and Bertuzzi.

    Whoa, those line combos seem really strange to me. I never knew Franzen could play C.

    And so continues the disappointing fantasy production of Stephen Weiss.

    Alffy putting up a point per game thus far.

    He's looking good!
