LOL St Louis said Shattenkirk for Larkin and a pick during the draft. You think your going to pull this off as is? Drop the third round pick you get from St Louis and add some stuff to what Detroit gives up. I would be willing to bet "IF" Detroit went after Shattenkirk it would be more like *Shattenkirk for Tatar, Jurco, Bertuzzi & 2017 3rd round pick*. Your trade here is way too lopsided even if St Louis wasn't over valuing Shattenkirk.
Ottawa does not want Jimmy Howard for a 2nd round pick. They have Anderson and Hammond locked up for 2 years each at $5.5 together. They might give you a 6th or 7th rounder and ask you to take a bad contract in return, but they don't really have on either. They have no use for Howard so they are not buying him with a 2nd round pick. Its a favor from any team to take Howard for nothing in return.
Lastly, Ericsson is not being bought out. Holland is too loyal. Everyone dreams about Ericsson being bought out, but I am sure Franzen or Howard would happen first. Also, the Wings already had a chance this year to buy him out and didn't do so. It just wont happen.
