Description

Nielsen has been coasting around on the ice indifferently for the last four years collecting a check. The Yzerplan excludes him. Maybe he can go visit Kenny in Edmonton.

I have no clue if Merrill has ever played on the Right side but I think that I would rather see him on the ice than Biega

I don't think he has played on the right and we probably see biega. Merrill will get time since staal age and dekeyser,well being dekeyser will miss time. I think fabbri ends up on the wing with the namestnikov signing.

I think we'll see Nielsen in a Red Wings uniform for at least 1 more year, even if it's just as an extra that subs in for injuries. He's definitely regressed a lot but I have some hope that he can be a decent bottom 6 player if he plays with some slightly better linemates.
