Thread: What I HOPE Yzerman does
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>moli92</b></div><div>you dont think cholowski will be in the NHL this year? Im not a DET fan so I dont know much about their depth chart but I remember there was some hype around him last year when he started in the NHL

btw that top line is nasty</div></div>

I think he will get time, just won’t begin up there. So many NHL logjams ahead of him:
Dekeyser, Hronek, Green, Neimeth, Bowey, Ericsson, and Daley. For him to start there I would think they’d have to move two of Bowey, Ericsson, and Daley. That doesn’t include players like Hicketts that aren’t waiver exempt and other players that are like him that can be sent down without going through waivers like Kaski. BUT, Yzerman has said ‘If a player wins his way on the roster, he’d make the necessary moves and he won’t be blocked’. We shall see.

Thread: Trust the process
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aedoran</b></div><div>I like the Toronto trade I don't think but I don't think Toronto would. I'd even be willing to retain half of Daley's cap hit. Just to open that roster spot. I don't know what Vanek wants to do but I'm pretty sure if he wants to go another year in Detroit the Wings would resign him. I think they wanted him to mentor Zadina last season but Zadina didn't progress as fast as they expected. I'm not sure on Sutter but I know Detroit really likes how he has been with the younger players. If this is what do in the off season I'd be happy.</div></div>

No way Vanek is back. Before the draft he was asked about what UfAs he talked to and he mentioned Kronner and Witter. The reporter then asked Yzerman about Vanek and he smirked and said “no, haven’t talked”.

Thread: few buyouts in Detroit
I don’t believe Ericsson or Daley should be bought out. I feel Daley could fetch a late conditional pick (6th if the acquiring team makes 2nd Ed of playoffs). The Wings aren’t strapped for cap this offseason so you can simply bury Ericsson to open a slot in Detroit. Not to mention both have one year left. Why buy them out and extend them being on the cap for another year?

Helm is more plausible I believe. You could buy him out and open a spot but cost 1.85, 1.85, 1, and 1 against the cap the next FOUR seasons. Or you can retain 50% of his salary and ship him off for minimal return and only owe 1.9 the next two seasons where they have about 13M in cap this offseason and fought 45M in cap next offseason. I don’t see why they should buy them out and kick the can down the road.
