I think the house cleaning has to start in detroit. The problem isn't Lashoff or McIlrath, it's the five mediocre vets in Detroit and two less than mediocre younger guys, all of whom the organization hasn't been willing to move on from. If we don't sign Daley, does anyone think that really alters where the Wings finished the season? But it does likely mean that Saarijarvi gets consistent playing time in GR all year. Or if we had dealt Jensen/XO and had Russo or Hicketts up in their spot, it doesn't matter who you want to pick as the guy shipped off the island. The way the roster would slide around is the same, and it means guys in GR get more minutes, bigger roles, and more responsibility. Which I think would be a good thing.
Holland talked about moving guys into Detroit quicker and getting away from the over ripening thing, this is another area we'll see if he means it.
