Good news for the Wings and the NHL as a whole.@AnsarKhanMLive Datsyuk said he wants to sign extension w Wings this summer. Looking forward to staying in Detroit beyond next season
As for the Flyers, I was looking over their roster this morning and even after a Briere buyout, which seems all but certain, I still think they have too many and not enough forwards. I think they need a top line wing to play with Giroux-Vorceck, but with Laughton more than likely making the club this fall, they have too many centers at the bottom of the roster and no place to play them. That leads me to think that Homer will trade either Brayden Schenn or Sean Couturier for help rebuilding the blue line.
Plus, with the Briere buyout, but without a Bryzgalov buyout (which I still don't know which way they'll go), they have about $8 million to spend. Not much for a top line wing AND a big time defensman upgrade. Personally, I think they should amnesty Bryz and then see what St. Louis wants for Halak at the draft. If it's a mid-round pick, like I think it should if we take his full salary, do it and run with a Halak-Mason tandem.
