Wings will NOT do ANY BUYOUTS..still paying pretty heavy for weiss...kronwall will retire so aside from no buyouts.. His contract is done anyway...big E not bought out..to repeat..Howard nor green will get that much $ in 2020 ugh..they'll be on incentive deals likely ..low base salary.. IF wings even resigned them..which itself is unlikely in 2020....sorry ..but cheers

I appreciate your feedback Mike; however, let me explain. The buyouts are answering a question of how to best fix the logjam in a responsible manner. Detroit will never do this. I understand. I wasn't going with a what will they do mentality though. That's my fault for not making that very clear. Howard would possibly still be number one and would still get low-end number one goalie money. Maybe I'm wrong on that though. As far as Green goes, what I've read from at least one beat writer was that $4-4.5 over two is what KH is looking to offer at most to Green. So, I didn't just throw out a random number. It's backed up. Signing Howard and Green in general has been in every beat writers' article since the season ended, so I have reason to believe they would. I get your view on this, but I wanted to explain that this was better thought out than it may seem.
