like the georgiev trade bjut not svechnikov and smith and krug will probably sign to boston

You're probably right but there are a couple of scenarios that could land him in Detroit. I hope Abdelkader would get bought out before Neilson.

idk about that, neilson carries a big contract and has less of an impact than abdelkader

Abdelkader is only $1.25M more not a big deal but he also has an extra year and freeing up that roster spot a season sooner is a big deal. Plus Neilson's production has been quite a bit better since coming to Detroit.
2019-20 Neilson has 9 points to Abdelkader's 3.
2018-19 Neilson had 35 points to Abdelkader's 19.
2017-18 Neilson had 33 points to Abdelkader's 35.
2016-17 Neilson had 41 points to Abdelkader's 21.

neilson still has a bigger contract and abdelkader is a better leader than neilson and there will be a lot of young guys

Abdelkader's contract is a year longer and $1.25M more so how is that less?????? From what I've heard most people say Abdelkader is an asshole to almost everyone. Neilson is great with the younger players and a great guy.

What about Svechnikov and Smith? I agree that Krug is likely a pipe dream. Honestly, so is Georgiev, but just wanted to think of some ways to fill major holes in the roster.

Nielsen has the bigger AAV, Abby has an extra year, so its 6 of one a half a dozen of the other IMO. I think regardless of buyouts they'll be off the roster and either retired, LTIRetired or in the Minors in the next 2 seasons or so given how many 1st and early 2nd rounders are waiting to come up from GR now.
