I guess I'd still be happy with Okposo. Young enough I think he can be an impact player through this "rebuild on the fly" plan that I hate.
Since the Wings will NOT tank and just leave dead space, I'd be happy getting Loui Eriksson and Staal. Not because it will make the Wings a winner, but because I've always liked them as players and it will make next year more enjoyable.
Basically with the franchise center off the table, I just hope for short deals on guys that I find entertaining. Because if you think AA and Mantha are going to get premier ice time while there's $8 million of dead cap space sitting around, heh, good luck with that.
