Yeah, Husso looked really solid and he was getting peppered all night.

He looked smooth and wasn't scrambling around 43 shots so that was very good for him and the team.  Granted a few hit the posts but those happen.

Chiasson released from PTO... I actually thought he might get a 2way contract and spend the majority of the year with the griffins. The Griffs are lacking in RH shots... could this mean the wings plan to assign MBN to the Griffins? With Kasper playing the way he has it I could see MBN taking his spot in GR. 

Findog also sent back to juniors. Unfortunate, but expected. He will tear it up for Kamloops this year, and then we will see him back in GR for the playoffs.

Kasper looking more and more like hes gonna be in this year. Centering the 2nd line tonight in Comphers absence.

Rasmussen - Copp - Kasper, could work, no?

Another step in the Yzerplan.

Kasper making it complicates the hell out of things. Adding him gives us a 24 man roster. So we have to cut 3 people.

The most ideal is probably sending Edvinsson down and waiving Holl and Motte. Could waive a goalie, but that doesn't seem ideal. I think you want to rotate the goalies hoping that Husso and Talbot claim their rightful positions, then then we can be comfortable waiving Lyon. It would suck sending Ed down, but he's the only one with waiver immunity. If Kasper doesn't make it he's the clear #1 callup and should see plenty of action. There's really only 12 forwards ahead of him. So he'll play at first injury.

True, but, if you waive Holl and Motte, I dont see any reason to send Edvinsson down.

Anyways, Yzerman needs to figure out what to do with goaltending and defence. Carrying both 3 goalies and 8 defenceman is too much.

Hopefully Kasper stays and he finds someone else to cut or trade and we have a 23 man roster.

I doubt that check line gets split up. If he gets playing time it will be in place of Veleno.

Motte isnt being waived. If its a 12-8-3 roster, I suspect Kasper gets sent down and they use 11F and 7D some games.

If they want to keep Kasper up, then they have to send down a D. I would prefer Holl, but it could also be Edvinsson since he is waiver exempt.

No matter what, Scott is gonna have a fit.

Kasper in for Compher tonight with the regulars, I sure hope this means that Yzerman is having a long look at him.

Yup, I think it comes down to tonight, its his chance to show he belongs

Kasper getting an audition with Kane and Tarasenko for the game. If that goes well (it’s looking solid so far) I’d like to see: 

Dcat-Larkin-Raymond

Kane-Kasper-Tarasenko

Berggren-Compher-Mazur

Ras-Copp-Fischer

Dont think Mazur and Kasper both make it.

If I were betting money I’d bet on what you’re saying. I think it’s the most likely outcome. But I genuinely believe Kasper and Mazur out performed Veleno and Motte up to this point.

Kane’s looking a lot stronger on his skates this year so far.

The issue is the lack of RHers at wing. I wouldn't want Danielson developing at RW, but maybe that's what we're doing? IDK 

The only RHed wingers on the Griffs are Mazur, Shine, and Seger... and Mazur prefers to play his off hand like Tarasenko and Kane, so in theory he should slot at LW. And there's a good chance Seger ends up in Toledo with the depth chart the way it is. 

So really the only natural RHed RWer on the team is Shine, and he's not even under contract with the Wings...

Maybe the plan is to force Mazur to the right side? I have mixed feelings about that as well, but even if it is, there is still plenty of room for another RHed RW, like MBN, on that roster. 

With Danielson and Mazur forced to RW:

Snively - Kasper - Mazur

Soderblom - Dries - Danielson

Rychlovsky- Lombardi - Shine

Johannes - Hanas - Gettinger (LH)

Bantle - Doucet - Seger

If we are looking to clear room for kids, the tradeable pieces with actual value are probably Ras and Berggren IMO. Ras has more immediate value. Berggren would be smarter to trade closer to the deadli e once he's developed more of a reputation in the league.

Uncle Gary projects the cap next season to be at 92.5m. That gives us about 18m in cap space.

Abdelkader and Yamamoto buyout and retention off the books. Berggren is the only RFA.

Another step in the Yzerplan.
