Description

Vrána will be back up with the Wings after the '23 TDL, he now has 9 points in the last 8 games in GR. What happens next depends on how he does the rest of the year.

Perron may be traded before the 23-24 season starts if the return is right.

Elmer Söderblom may start in GR if something falls in our lap, like a good player on waivers.

We still need an upgrade on C but there's nothing in FA that's obviously available. We'll see what happens.

Niels Jensen is likely to be available in FA, if he isn't then there are several others that will do the job. 3RD is our weakest spot and there's where the addition should be made.

Nitpicking, but Yzerman likes to sign young players to short term contracts so they are still RFA’s. I am talking about Veleno here.

Joe should still be a RFA after that contract. He's on his third year of contract now and will be 26 when this one ends and still a restricted free agent.

Good to hear. I was wrong then. Only if Holland would have used the same method and Larkin would have been an RFA last summer. Now he is a UFA instead

Larkin would still have become UFA in 2022 so Holland bought one year of his UFA-years. In order to have kept him an RFA the contract would have to have ended in '21. With the cap situation we had when Holland signed that contract I don't think he could have made it two years shorter and still kept the team under the cap. He had pretty much painted himself into a corner with his expensive contracts.

So another just run it all back and hope it's better. Do you really wanna watch Suter and hellberg for another season, don't we know that's not going to work already. I like the Edmonton trade though.
