I think the Wings are basically done with Copp, Chiarot and Maatta.

I got no complaints

With Suter and Copp now centering that opens way to keep Ras at wing which I think is what they want to do anyway and does Veleno now go to 4C? Kind of early to give up on that guy. Need another winger IMO.

Wonder if the Wings might take a run at Palat?
Gotta save room for our kids, right?

Now we have Perron and Kubalik.

Wings are either planning on trading Bert/Zadina/whoever
Or they are gonna let Zadina simply walk away.
Maybe they have no faith in Berggren.

It seems like a lot of forwards, or they're not bringing up any? I don't see any of these guys as needle movers. I would've stopped with Copp, Maata and Chariot, unless stevie Y has something big planned I'm whelmed

My guess is the Wings have been told they need to start filling seats at the LCA

No more cushy roster rides. It's back to GR or produce. Or as a famous man once said, 'erased.....from existence!'

I remember Larkin making some comments after the season about getting tired of losing. Yzerman probably agreed and felt it was time to start adding some pieces to field a better team to begin slotting in some of these prospects.
