I do think the answer here that people aren't really thinking about is the Wings look like a team that could very well carry eight D-man next year. While unusual not exactly unheard of either for a NHL team worried about waivers to do this. The 14th forward will just be housed in GR. It is far from ideal as it is hard to get the two D-man playing time, but we will see what happens.
I have said for a while I thought Holland would be active from the time period of last trade deadline through this off-season and I think it is still shaping up that way.
Would love to do the Buff trade and cull some of our access that way and get this murky picture cleared up.
Worth pointing out that not even a week ago, Holland said they won't carry 8 defenseman, which was a big part of why Kindl was actually waived. May have to see if I can find the specific quote, but it sounded like he didn't see a lot of value in it.
Maybe our circumstances will be different next year, though. Really don't see a need to re-sign Quincey (despite him being solid), and hoping we don't due to the log jam.
