Players Play
If this team had a $10M elite player instead of a $12M 4th line, the forward lines would actually look good enough for a playoff spot. Moot point though since the D and goalies aren't there yet. So we're probably looking at 2 more seasons of suck...
If Erne continues to play well, I can see Abby getting bought out after next season when Helm's contract expires.
Abdelkader would have to really suck for the RW to buy out an alternate captain.
I believe he's here for life.
Yzerman could try to find a taker for Nielsen/Helm.
