<em>Vasily Podkolzin. Big gamble for Detroit, but could be on a line with Rasmussen and Zadina in the future.</em>
Veleno would center that line not Rasmussen. Rasmussen's NHL value is having a net front presence not too often the tools of a center. He's also slower than Veleno and his 200 foot game isn't as refined. I could also see Podkolzin or Zadina moving up to the Larkin, Mantha line eventually.

I don't think it's that much of a gamble--other than the fact it's another forward and they need d-men. Craig Button thinks he will be able to buyout his KHL contract in one year. If you meant skill-wise: Podkolzin is a 2 way player that is smart on the puck. He has size and speed and can shoot.

If Turcotte, Byram, and Cozens (my order of ranking) are gone: I'd take Podkolzin next then Dach. The only disagreement I have is Turcotte over Cozens.

Good idea, but too much for Fox. Maybe Q and a small add (fourth).
Shero would need the ability to talk with his agent before agreeing. Getting the rights is usually not more than a third (Vesey) with Buffalo I think.
I think its a great idea, after watching Makar from UMass last night (first half of the game, <strong>not second</strong>!) who is in contention with Fox for the Hobey Baker award. Stealing him from the Rags would lessen the blow of them getting 2 OA! I would think many teams are thinking similar ideas. NYRs have a need so it may need more lifting, the Q pick probably helps that, maybe he finds his touch in Carolina.

I'm not a fan of EK, he'll get paid and breakdown half way through some monster contract. I'd rather look at a Risto/Hamilton etc type guy bigger, good skater less offensive. I would also get more speed See what Wings want for AA,. And take on a few bad contracts for players about to breakout, like Kapanen in Tor
