Pinto and Branny signed to 3 year contracts, so that they dont not come up at the same time as Chychrun.
Dorion loves winners, Barbashev and Kessel bring the hype and the experience.
Come deadline, acquire the best pending UFA goalie available for a moderate price. to shore up the position heading into playoffs

EDIT: According to the comments, DET fans want Michkov, and want to burn the next 3 years of Seider, Raymond and Larkin. Interesting strategy, the 10 year rebuild.
I find it very interesting that a lot of DET fans are saying this, but in my experience most fans from impartial teams say that getting a 40goal scorer in their prime, locked up for 8 years is what you would be PRAYING that 9OA turns into.
Fans of every fanbase famously over-value their own prospects and picks
I know the 2023 draft is deeper than the 2017 draft, but >6 years in Michael Rassmussen is an NHL player... but if you could trade him for Cat you know you would in a heartbeat. Sometimes there is value in the sure thing. IMHO, DET could use a little sure thing right now to support their good prospect pool as they look to make steps in a difficult division.

He scored 27G this season; I think you guys are factoring in the fact that he scored 41 the previous season a little too much.

Look at other picks that were 9, many winners there. Wings pass on this trade all day and it's not close
