The Detroit Red Wings forwards are starting to become quite banged up. They have recalled 28- year-old center Wade Megan from Grand Rapids, and he is expected to make his debut tonight against the New Jersey Devils. In a corresponding move, the Wings have sent Joe Hicketts back to Grand Rapids.
Wade Megan has recorded 2 goals and 2 assists in 8 games this season for the Grand Rapids Griffins. He has skated as their top center to start the season. If the Detroit Red Wings were desperate for someone to play center, I could get behind this move, but they are not precisely shorthanded in the faceoff circle.
