The explanation of roster squeeze with returning players does not paint the picture fully.
The Wings are carrying 3 goalies, they can send 1 down if they wanted to.
The Wings have 4 forwards that are waiver exempt that they could send down.
Instead they are choosing to risk exposing Vrana on waivers.
So yeah, even though they may have Bertuzzi and Fabbri coming back, they didn't need to do the Vrana move to activate them.
