Ok Ceci is a cap dump because he won't resign in Detroit.
Hutchinson is just brutal. Even after watching Bernier get shelled by Vancouver and Ottawa I'd still start him over Hutchinson.
Bracco is a very good prospect The Athletic has him as the #2 prospect in Toronto's farm system and 7th on their top 10 under 23. He is also the only thing of any value to Detroit in this trade.
I don't think Detroit trades Bowey just because he meets the requirements as an unexposed player for the expansion draft most of the mock expansion drafts I've seen have Bowey or DeKeyser being picked by Seattle.
I've seen several interviews where Howard has been pretty adamant about not wanting to leave Detroit because his family has made their home here and he doesn't want to be away from them. He is on a one year contract and If traded mostly likely retire at the end of the season. IMO Detroit doesn't trade him he stays in Detroit and signs another 1 or 2 year deal. That way Detroit isn't forced to go out and spend a bunch of money or trade assets to fill a void until one of their goalie prospects is ready to play. I think he is worth keeping for that reason but that is just what I think and it is possible he gets traded.
