Team: 2018-19 Detroit Red Wings

Initial Creation Date: May 28, 2018

Published: Jun. 4, 2018

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

What I would do this offseason.

All my research and trade value was found on the TSN Offseason game plan sites.

I took a risk on Jonathan Bernier for 3 years, but I think he will be a solid goalie until Detroit can find a good prospect to take over.

Signed Robert Hagg to a deal similar to Scott Mayfield.

TSN is smoking some high quality stuff. 5th best offense in the league doesn't need more offense. We need defense as we were the worst defense. While Nyquist would be nice, I would rather bank on Nelson bouncing back on a contract year.

leafs don't need Ericsson, and Horton's on ltir, the leafs are better keeping Horton than wasting cap space on Ericsson.
