<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Boldirev</b></div><div>Well I think we can make a real good educated guess here. How often do teams let a very good 2C walk to free agency at 28 years old? Get back to me on that. If for what ever reason Bo isn't signed to an extension in Vancouver, there are two things I am very sure of:
1. He will get traded.
2. The team that trades for him will resign him and thus he won't hit free agency.

BTW, neither "indication" is accurate. Vancouver IS looking to resign him and all indications are Bo wants to resign, but if the $$$ and term don't fit Rutherford's projections, there is a slim possibility that Bo gets moved.</div></div>

First thing that comes to mind is Tavares, although he definitely wasn't a 2C at the time. Supposedly, he claimed to want to resign, then bolted in the offseason. Could Horvat do that? Possibly, but I would highly doubt that.
I agree with both thoughts, it's very unlikely that Horvat would hit free agency, and if a team did trade for him, they'd very likely resign him. It doesn't make sense for Detroit to spend assets for him, as they need more pieces than Horvat to be competitive. All I'm saying is if Detroit thinks they have the other issues sorted out, it would be smarter to bid for him in free agency instead of trading premium assets needed for the rebuild.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TomAce</b></div><div>Barrie is a glue guy and had a pretty good season in a lesser role, which does fit on Detroit’s right side. His contract is only 2 more years and he could be worth a 2nd rd pick at deadline.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TomAce</b></div><div>Barrie is notoriously a glue guy. Young Detroit team could use a guy like him.

Hathaway is an upgrade on Kassian, not even close. Hathaway is a buzzsaw in a contract year.

To me, McDavid does not like working with Pulju. Blackwood is still a good bet in my eye and McLeod is a nice btm 6 piece who’d be inclined to play on his brothers team in Edmonton, Alberta on a good deal.</div></div>

Detroit already has a younger, cheaper, defensively awful, offensive-minded RD on their 2nd pairing. No need for Barrie.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy12Bob</b></div><div>Both Pettersson and Schmidt fit our timeline. Yzerman isn't going to run with two rookies on D next season and Oesterle is 7th D and gone after next season.

With Schmidt taking care of the PP and Pettersson the PK the rookie that gets the nod next season (whether that's Edvinsson or Johansson) will be sufficiently sheltered to survive. Schmidt is young enough to still have trade value when his contract is about to expire and we should have fully developed replacements ready by then.</div></div>

Bringing in some veteran LD is a great idea, but paying market value for an overpaid, underperforming D isn't the best way to go about it, in my opinion. Taking a cap dump for additional assets, or signing a cheap free agent would be preferred.
