Why is Brunner still an FA? He was all that Detroit and fans talked about last season (chemistry with Zetterberg, etc). Likely that Brunner wants to go back with Detroit.And they don't have Nyquist signed either. I can't see Cleary not returning there either. Obviously there is a cap space issue.
It all kind of adds up to waiting on a trade to free up room. Could be one of those "take my festering turd of a contract and I'll throw in some value" type trades finally.
Would love to see Brendan Smith here even if it means taking on Samuellson or Quincey.
