Description

Not sure how much they like their prospects if they are ready to start putting this roster together in a winning fashion. They are also in a great postion where they can take expensive 1 year bets on guys in the hope they still have something.

Also it is the last year of Larkin and Bert on their contracts so if they think they can compete it would be a good time to go for it

This team isn't going to spend any money on free agents until they think they're a playoff team. They're 2 or 3 years away from moving 1sts and multiple assets like this.

I understand the assets, but 1 year deals like this have no downside. If you miss you sell them for picks, if you get in then mission accomplished.

No I get it they just won't do it is all. I think its more an organizational decision to not spend the money until they're competitive.

Yzerman has a very methodical plan. This is the exact opposite of his plan. The reason Detroit has taken major strides, is because they've been drafting and developing well and only making trades when they are good opportunities. None of these trades or FA signings make sense.
