Extra: Luke Witkowski

Why Witkowski? Because you don’t want a young, waiver-exempt player hanging around as an extra when he could be playing regularly and developing in Grand Rapids. Witkowski provides versatility (forward or defense) and adds a dimension of toughness if needed.

Ansar is guessing here and I can’t say it’s a terrible guess but I don’t want it to be right.

It’s like ‘Any Given Sunday’ but absolutely no it isn’t.
