You're most likely going to need to slide one of those picks higher or switch one out for a solid prospect at one of the right positions.

I really like the idea of targeting Dunn. I just wonder if the price will be something Yzerman wants to pay and Armstrong accepts.

Yzerman having a surplus of later 2nd round picks makes me think he would be less cautious about making a move, especially for a young LD. Normally I'd think Dunn would carry more value in a trade, but if St. Louis can't protect him, that may be the best offer they get, but Armstrong may be able to get better offers from a more desperate team.

I kinda hope they do protect him and expose Krug.

Bertuzzi's a UFA in 1 year, There's noway Yzerman is giving Bert a one year deal. At least 2-3 at probably $4,500,000 would be my guess. And Vrana is getting closer to $6,000,000 then $5,000,000.

Would be a smart decision. Maybe the Wings can do a trade like what I did for Dunn except for Krug in that situation so he can have a homecoming, I'm pretty sure most of the state would love him.

That injury makes me think Yzerman will take a chance on that, but a 2-3 year is pretty reasonable.
I have Vrana making 5 mil as Yzerman has a way of getting players for less, and he might take a cut in pay to help the team down the line, as he is definitely in their long term future. That said, I can definitely see Vrana's contract being between $5.5 and $6.5 mil.

Youths!

But Erne &/or someone of his ilk likely available for Seattle it seems unlikely for them to take oldLG in their situation especially (not to mention he's bad)

Guessing Berggren makes the lineup next year

I must have missed Erne looking through RFAs because I agree 100%. He'd be a great pick for Seattle, and I had a hard time thinking who they would pick otherwise. Otherwise, I think Berggren may play some games for Detroit but I don't see him making the roster day one, I think he's a guy that comes in once there is an injury or two and then doesn't leave the lineup once the injured player comes back.

Is Dunn worth a lottery pick and a solid prospect? I didn't get to see him play much this season.

This is a real question no sarcasm.

What lottery pick? The offer above contains two low 2nds.

I don't think Staal stays in Detroit and I wouldn't be surprised if Detroit resigns Ryan. He did help Zadina improve this season.

I was responding to your post. Where you said "You're most likely going to need to slide one of those picks higher or switch one out for a solid prospect at one of the right positions."

Yes, one of the two 2nds he has in the offer in this AGM. So one would remain a 2nd and one would need some sort of value bump. Not sure how we got to lottery pick from there.

I think that is fair for Dunn, however I would be curious on what a =n offer for Krug would look like

Report from yesterday mentioned that there is interest from both sides for Staal, so I was basing it off of that. Ryan could definitely come back but I think he may look to get one last ride with a contending team.
