from Ansar Khan of Mlive,
Red Wings defenseman Andreas Lilja isn’t sure if he’ll be ready for the start of training camp Sunday, but he is confident he eventually will be cleared to play again.
Lilja, plagued by headaches and concussion-like symptoms since Feb. 28, said Tuesday he hoped to learn more after having some tests, including an MRI this afternoon.
“I’m a lot more positive,’’ Lilja said. “I’m almost 100 percent sure I’m going to play, it’s just a matter of when.’‘

Wouldn’t you love for just once, to see ESPN report a hockey story like this.
Just once. Not the lead, it doesn’t even have to be in the first block, just make the show. ONCE!!!!!!

ESPN and hockey?
Surely you can’t be serious.

Kukla’s Korner is always a free service for readers, but it costs some money to maintain. If you’re ever in a position to donate a few dollars to help out, we’d be very appreciative.
Once the “when” issue is resolved, the real issue we be “where” Andreas will play. Right now, without Lilja and Abbi, the Wings have a roster of 22 guys and just under $300k in cap space. The only way to add Lilja to that roster would be to get rid of someone making over $1M. Not even sending Ericsson to GR will open up enough space to accommodate Lilja’s $1.25M salary.
Andreas may well play again, but I just don’t see how he can do that in Detroit.
