I think Bert and Mantha might sign for a bit higher. I like both those signings just might have to pay more to bring them to Detroit.

It'll be interesting to see this team 2-3 years down the line. Hopefully they don't lose out on Laff, Byfield or Stutzle. Drsydale isn't a bad consolation prize though. Be a great addition to a young D core though.

Maybe but knowing Stevie tbl magic & previous wings salary philosophy..larkin will be highest paid player ..unless someone is a better player & out works him..so Larkin sets the wings cap number for now I believe & mantha gets under 7m is the key goal ..if he's raises the inner cap he'll be proving his potential then... Bert lil tougher think his $ will pend vs the term of aav..i don't see wings giving him 5m + since he's more grinder than elite scorer playmaker..they don't want another Abby contract here..so under $5m i think is the goal here & Stevie usually gets his type of deal..or gonzo ask AA ..lol

Fair enough but Stevie did have the no tax advantage in TBL, so IDK if he can work that same magic here contracts speaking.

Look at Detroit's right and left side defenseman:

Right
Hronek
Seider
Lindstrom
Tuomisto

Left
DeKeyser
Nemeth
Cholowski
McIsaac

It almost makes more to take Askarov.

Gudas is garbage.

Not at 4...too high..too risky.. Plus nemeth has 1 yr left..only.. And my gut says one or more of the young pieces on d prob traded for elite player in next 2 years..to jump start things plus no guarantee they all pan out or improve to be regulars aedoran..but we'll c
