The Grand Rapids Griffins announced their clear day roster, today. That's the list of 22 players who can play for the Griffins in the playoffs.
What's of interest to Red Wing fans is which players are on and off that list because it gives a good indication of Detroit's view of those players' role this spring.
Forward Mark Hartigan is not on the clear day roster. He has also been told by Detroit management to get an apartment here (which he already has) all of which means that he's with the Red Wings for the duration.
Darren McCarty is on the clear day roster, meaning that Detroit thinks there's a good possibility that he'll be in Grand Rapids come playoff time. There are only 22 spots available on the clear day roster, none to waste.
