More roster updates just days away from the season opener:
I was amused by the way this was worded, but apparently there were several writers from up north thinking Jared Coreau might have been claimed on waivers. All I can say is, thank goodness he wasn’t, because I’m pretty sure the first injury to one of Jimmy Howard or Petr Mrazek (knocks on wood) would have left none other than Tom McCollum as first call-up, and I don’t want to risk losing that conditional 7th rounder.
Anyway, that means that in addition to Coreau, Ben Street, Matt Lorito, Brian Lashoff, and Dylan McIlrath all cleared for the Red Wings and will be sent to the AHL’s Grand Rapids Griffins.
