Cautiously Optimistic
There's still a pretty damn good chance that Dan Cleary re-signs. I'm also imagining Daniel Alfredsson re-signing. Tomas Tatar and Luke Glendening are RFAs who will likely return too....
Glendening is still waiver exempt for a few seasons IIRC so I doubt he gets a full time spot over those 2. Cause I really don't see KH giving away one of the prospects he drafted because he wants Luke Glendening on the roster. Maybe he does for Callahan (I wouldn't) but no way he gets rid of Ferraro (pretty much cost KH a 1st rounder) to keep Glendening in Detroit and not in GR.
The way I see it working out up front is like this:
(In terms of roster spot, not role on the team)
13/14 --> 14/15
Datsyuk --> Datsyuk
Zetterberg --> Zetterberg
Weiss --> Weiss
Franzen --> Franzen
Alfredsson --> UFA/Alfredsson
Samuelsson --> Ferraro
Helm --> Helm
Bertuzzi --> Sheahan
Abdelkader --> Abdelkader
Cleary --> Callahan/Cleary/UFA
Miller --> Miller
Nyquist --> Nyquist
Tatar --> Tatar
Andersson --> Andersson
With Callahan being the likely victim if they decide to pursue one or a couple UFAs (please god not Cleary)
