What would his AHL salary have been with the qualifying offer? Maybe he took less on the NHL side in order to get more in the AHL?

And he'll be back on waivers come late September early October, He has zero chance in making the team once AA and Tatar are resigned. Either Vanek comes back for a year or one of Svechnikov or Bertuzzi make the squad Frk at best would be our #13 or #14 forward.
I'm not following you. A roster traditionally has 14 forwards.
With the resigning of AA and Tatar Detroit will have 11 forwards under contract not including Franzen on LTIR. I assume from what Holland and Blashill said that Luke Witkowski will take one of the forward spots so that still leaves us with 2 open spots. I guess i was assuming that if we signed Vanek again that would leave one open spot for either Svechnikov or Bertuzzi. But if we don't sign Vanek i guess the spots would be open to Lil Bert and Frk.
Right... 11 forwards locked in after AA and Tatar. So 3 spots for Witkowski, Bertuzzi, Frk and Svechnikov to compete for.
I agree on Witkowski taking one of the 3 spots. They've talked about having Bert make the team, but he won't be a press box guy. Frk could land either up or down. Better for the 13/14 spot than Bert. I'm guessing Svech is in the first call up position. It would take some LTIR or a trade to get Vanek to fit in the cap.
My guess is
12. Bertuzzi
13. Witkowski
14. Frk
GR Svech
Fantastic news for Frk It. Still getting big mileage out of that user name after the waiver scare.
Don't think he'll ever be an NHL regular. More than happy to to keep him around in GR tho. He's a really good AHLer.Is this dude ever going to even crack the NHL? I guess if seven forwards get injured...
Bertuzzi can play on any line. He is a guy though that I think has a really rough first NHL year. Let's say 65GP 4G 5A for example and being pushed around. I actually think that's fine for his development. Get that experience. Get better.
Svech when up, I only want him in the top nine though I could see his grit working at times o the fourth. For cracking the team, I think you guys are underestimating Matt Lorito in camp.

Yeah, you may be right. Wasn't thinking of him. He may very well might be in the mix.
Sorry but,
Lorito is crap.
He wasn't anyhow meaningless at Griffins playoff run.
He had also worst possible NHL stats on last season on high-danger scorin chances.
Tangradi-Street-Callahan was the top line with hardest matchups.
And if you don't make any significant impact behind those guys, youre just average AHLr.
Bertuzzi and Svechnikov did some great things compared to their age and that's the address to expect something in the future.
