Ordinarily, a member of the Detroit press writing about a prospect’s development would be worthy of a dip into Quick Hits, and to be fair, Helene St. James’ post ‘Dennis Cholowski must step up in this Detroit Red Wings rebuild, and soon’ is no different from the perspective of what the article brings.
Cholowski had good starts to the last two seasons, but his inability to correctly weigh reward versus risk when making decisions with the puck has led to being sent to the Grand Rapids Griffins. He recorded seven goals and 16 assists, and a minus-20 rating, as a rookie, and had two goals and six assists, and a minus-26 rating, when he was assigned to the Griffins in December.
