Yep, I wouldn't take Petersson for free with no assets going to the Canucks unless they retained at least $3mm per year of the $11mm cap hit. At $8mm a year I'd probably risk Danielson and a 1st.
Upon us is the dreaded March. Wings are 4th in the Atlantic, 7th in the East, 5 pts up with 2 games in hand on 9th place Washington. 22 Wings games to go in the regular season.
14 games this month. 5 of the first 7 are on the road, then 5 of the 7 are at home.
If the season were to end today, only three of last year’s playoff teams would be back in: Tampa, Carolina and Montreal. All of Detroit, Buffalo, Boston, Pittsburgh and NY Islanders missed last year.
