DET2122

Haula and Dunn might need $500k to $1M more each, but I like the look of the team.

I really liked Ryan, but for some reason I have a gut feeling he’ll go elsewhere, and I’m not positive we’ll get Hyman, but we have a handful of kids that are looking for opportunities. Raymond might get a look, Svechnikov is probably in his last season if it’s not already past “boom or bust” time. Great AGM overall!

Personal opinion is keep the 1st and forget Dunn. I'd rather have the pick.

On the note of LD, I didn't realize Oleksiak will be UFA, and he's still reasonably young. I like that signing and would honestly put him on the top pair with Hronek. He averaged 20:29 TOI last year, so I think he can play some minutes with Hronek, and the second pair could be Cholowski/DDK/Staal - Seider.

Other thoughts...
1. I think the AAV on Vrana & Bert are a little high.
2. I want to see Veleno on the roster over Smith, LGD, or Bobby Ryan.
3. I'd prefer to try out the FA market for a younger goalie than Bernier.

I know I'm being critical, but this is a pretty solid ACGM. Good job!

I would definitely like to see Veleno make the team out of camp. I'm sure at some point this year he'll get some time in Detroit. I would like Veleno over LGD but I won't be surprised if Yzerman resigns him.
