Pretty highly regarded over the last few years, but I guess the Red Wings soured at his limited success at the NHL level and wanted him to get time in the AHL.

Even so, intriguing AHL numbers, and 24 points in 67 NHL games over the last two years is certainly not too bad. Wings fans (on Twitter) are upset, say that he was given little ice time and bad linemates.   

 

If the Canucks want him, there's a good chance they could get him - only Toronto and Edmonton above us in waiver priority. But it would mean (likely) two of Etem, Gaunce & Virtanen lose their spots on the team. Would think, that with Granlund being played on the wing, Gaunce stays - so only option would be to send Virtanen down and waive Etem. And Pulkkinen would be here for the season.

 

Potential Lineup with Pulkkinen:

 

Sedin-Sedin-Eriksson

Baertschi-Horvat-Rodin

Granlund-Sutter-Hansen

Burrows-Gaunce-Dorsett

Pulkkinen
