Updated: Tick Tock, on the Fan 590, just said that if Mac clears, he’s staying in Detroit.
I’m sure the emperor has beaten me to this, and if you’re reading this on the main page for the second time, I feel real and sincere shame.
Via TSN,
The Detroit Red Wings placed forward Darren McCarty on waivers on Tuesday.
McCarty, 36, signed a one-year contract with the Wings in the offseason after re-joining the club last winter and helping lead the team to its fourth Stanley Cup in 11 years.
More from our Diggers as I get it.
Here’s what I’ve learned: Administrative in nature, almost. As Heaton put it over at the main page, this happened once already this year to Mac and probably will again…as it did with Downey all last season. We’re all assuming he clears, that he’ll re-join, and this will be an afterthought. Heaton just emailed me and made a good point. He doesn’t believe Mac will see a minute in GR this year and hasn’t thought that since he read Tick Tock’s quote saying he considered McCarty like a son. Not in a Bettman/Thid kind of way, either. Sickos.
That’s what others are telling me. Here’s what I’m telling you: I have no idea. I don’t understand it, not that it’s all that complicated. Just like I can’t figure out how to post something about whether we can keep “all 3” because the Cap and all that goes with it makes me sad and confused. I’ll ge to that…eventually.
Now, since this (Mac on waivers) is going to generate the conversation….we’re a month into the season, Cleary’s out indefinitely because some hack of a doctor apparently stuck a butter knife in his eye. Leino’s tearing up the AHL. Maybe it’s time to give him a shot, a look-see, eh?

Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977. No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y. Re-phrase: we do little research, find facts and stats highly overrated and claim little to no preparation. There are 19 readers of A2Y. No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature. Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that.
