Well, Cozens couldn't play in the AHL, as he's in the CHL now, which means he'll need to stay there at least 1 more season. By signing Kronwall and Witkowski, along with some of the necessary prospects (and Veleno, Knight, and Cozens), the Wings are over 50 contracts, so something would have to give. I suspect that Kronwall retires, Witkowski is moved on from, Kuffner and Hirose are in GR, along with Veleno (which is where he belongs next year anyway). They'd sign their early pick, but unless Knight is playing in GR or DET, he won't be signed for a year or two (playing at BC might be better for him that GR anyway). I also think you'll see a move with Daley, and if Sulak or Cholo come even close to Ericsson, Big E ends up buried in GR.
Sulak has arb rights, right means he'll probably be pushing for an NHL deal or out clause.
