Steve Yzerman was also reported to be in attendance in Grand Rapids today. Hopefully some veteran(s) get another chance in the NHL; also Ihope Yzerman was impressed by Lombardi!

What vets are you hoping for?
I don’t know how often scouts are at these games but I wonder if Yzerman is showcasing some prospects to these scouting staffs for a potential trade?
Lol, who think he’s there to check in on his bad signings?
Bring back Shine!!
Absolutely no one is kicking the tires on any vet in GR.
I’m hoping other teams are impressed by Lombardi honestly.
Don’t count on Gus being moved
Gustaffson must be the likeliest candidate to get moved and as for prospects, Lombardi might be the closest to ready for NHL action.
No Boston? Bob Kaser likes to talk about how Gustaffson has played for 5 of the O6 teams except Boston. I think he’s campaigning for Boston to trade for him.
If I were a betting man, I’d say Gus is going to Toronto. They need defense in a bad way, and if we retain it could easily be a win-win.
Lombardi’s stats from tonight, if you’re interested.
1 assist, 2 PIM (tripping in OT), 3 SOG, and -3 plus/minus. He got a chance in the shootout, but unfortunately didn’t score.
