Think there are two spots. Vanek is gone and Ras will have to earn his.
If Veleno has a camp like he did last year, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him in Detroit to start
For me it comes down to what @Ishad brings up, whether it's better for some of these guys to play in GR to hone skills they may not get the same opportunity to hone at the NHL, or if the NHL - albeit at lower minutes and possibly less taxing positions - would be better. I'm good with pretty much either direction they take.
