all i know is keep witkowski. He is one of the most entertaining players this league has to offer, his hits and fights are getting the crowd pumped. He is such a freight train, the hit last night and then the fight where he axes down acciari into a few pieces of firewood, thats just pure entertainment :D

My predictions

UFAs:

Thomas Vanek (3M) - No. Signs with another NHL team
Niklas Kronwall (4.75M) - Probably 50/50 he either retires or comes back on a cheap one year 35+ contract with bonuses
Luke Witkowski (0.75M) - Extended on another cheap bury-able contract. Either keeps his #14F/8D spot or goes to GR.
Jake Chelios (0.65M) - No
Dylan McIlrath (0.65M) - 50/50 he walks or signs another 2-way
Wade Megan (0.65M) - 50/50 he walks or signs another 2-way

RFAs:

Martin Frk (1.05M) - Definitely not going to get qualified again, especially at $1.05M, but this time the Red Wings let him go to free agency. He probably gets another NHL contract somewhere, although not a guaranteed NHL job. I don't think he goes the Europe route yet.
Dylan Sadowy (0.88M) - Definitely not getting qualified or re-signed
Axel Holmstrom (0.686M) - Gets qualified, but goes back to Europe
Dominic Turgeon (0.686M) - Gets qualified and extended on a 2-way contract
Libor Sulak (0.833M) - Gets qualified, but I think explores options in Europe and/or signs an extension that allows him to go back to Europe if he doesn't make the NHL team
Joe Hicketts (0.635M) - Gets qualified and extended on a 2-way contract

Goalies:

Patrik Rybar (0.925M) RFA - Gets qualified and extended on a 2-way contract
Harri Sateri (0.75M) UFA - Either gets extended on another 1 year 2-way or walks as a UFA and gets replaced by a similar vet AHL goalie on a 1-year 2-way

I don't follow the Griffin's enough to judge them so only UFA's I will take a guess on.

Vanek no.
Kronner offer 1 year 3m I don't like this but team will.
Witkowski 1 yr .8-1m offer.
Chelios no.
McIlrath 1 yr .75m 2 way.
Megan no but idk who he is so ignorant on him.
