It’s bad news for the lady fans in Detroit but good news for Darryl’s large female fanclub in GR, as long as he clears waivers. Booter may have literally fought his way out of a roster spot, because the Wings could obviously use a physical presence. However, they don’t necessarily need a fighter in today’s NHL.
Update (5:49 AM): Um, I see now that Bootland did, in fact, clear waivers, in case you were worried.
Update (3:53 PM): Joe Conklin of The Grand Rapids Press has more on Bootland here.
