Mazur Hurt in Red Wings’ Opening Rookie Tournament Game

Flat-out signing him would have been the Abdelkader2.0 thing to do, so maybe Kenny has learned something since his tenure here. I’m not gonna call this the piece to put Edmonton over the hump, but he has a chance to be a solid addition to their roster for a season or two.
