Red Wings Trim Roster

Ville Leino has been sent to the Griffins, the Wings Ahl affiliate. Obviously, not the most promising news for fantasy owners who were seeking a great steal in this year's draft, however don't be alarmed if you are in a deep keeper league. 

The Wings are stacked with offense and playoff experience. It's tough going for any caliber of player to penetrate their lineup. I believe Leino we'll see substantial ice time before the season is over and he will make it difficult for coach Babcock to keep him out of the lineup. 

The latest batch of Red Wing forwards play both ends of the ice very aggressively, including the latest superstar, Marion Hossa. This style will promise to lead to injuries and the chance for Leino to crack the lineup. Keep your eyes on
