Detroit needs a defensively responsible non-injured LD.

Yzerman wants a top 4 LD with at least 2-3 years of term, Sorry Gardiner doesn't fit that mold.

And Nazem Kadri will get at least $8,500,000 x 6 years on the open market.

Don’t see us going after Kadri. He’ll want more term and money and we won’t and shouldn’t commit that to him given his age and outlier of a season. Maybe going after somebody like Copp makes more sense.

Gardiner trade is good if we don’t get anything back. Could be any cap floor team.

Don’t think Perron is a good system fit or that he leaves the blues. We also need to get an offensive dman if we’re not keeping tda. Should also get something for him if you’re not signing him.

Not bringing Staal back. Give 4C to Drury.

Who’s going to run the PP?

Granted, Slavin had 42pts and Skjei had 39pts last season, but neither of them should be a #1 PPQB option. If the Canes aren’t bringing back DeAngelo, they absolutely will have to bring in another offensive D to run the PP.

Where’s Necas?
