I could see Wings and Tampa being reading partners but you forgot two things. One Johnson has a NTC and not sure he waves to come to Detroit. Secondly and more important, Wings have something Tampa does not have and that is cap space. If Tampa wants to keep the core mostly enact, they would need to pay and not expect much back. The Wings highly doubtful to trade this yeara 2nd round pick, which is the 32nd pick overall.
If season is cancelled and cap stays the same or goes down, even with a buyout of top talent, they do not have enough cap space.
