Too much for Erne, Vrana is probably signing a bridge deal after he filed for arbitration and 7 years for Hronek is a bad idea. Aim for a 4 year deal and if he explodes into a Norris caliber guy and we have to pay him 10m a year in 4 years, that's a hell of a good problem to have.

Also, Raymond almost certainly starts in GR

Hronek turns UFA after 4 years, better with 3.

Ideally, sure, but I'd be willing to bet his camp would want 2 (to raise arbitration) or 4 to get to UFA, otherwise, they'll probably want 6 or 7, which I think is a bad idea... Regardless, whatever Yzerman does, I trust, I just don't want to see us doing any more 6+ year deals, unless it's for an absolute stud...

If Detroit signed Vrana and Hronek for that I have no problems with it.

I agree that Raymond starts in GR. I think we see him for a game here and there to judge his progress.

I think Berggren makes it up before Raymond does.

Agreed 100%... I'm really high on Berggren and I think he makes the team out of camp

I hope so. The 2018 draft (Holland's last draft with the Wings) could end up being very good
