5. Regehr to Buffalo
6. Bouwmeester (didn't need to happen as he had a 1 year left)
7. Stralman/Lydman (putting these together as they are very similar in that a quality dman was traded for next to nothing, seemed like they didn't align to Sutter's approach to D but they both went on to be long time quality NHLers)
8. Phaneuf (this was a bad deal because they should have gone for quality not quantity)
9. Hrdina for Kyte

Vernon to Detroit was a huge mistake! Chiasson was decent but Trevor Kidd WAS NOT ready and was never really ready for the NHL.
We would have at least 4-5 more playoff series wins with Vernon in net.
