Wings got back two youngish players who we will have under contract going forward. We didn't want to move our 1sts just for rentals. This way we get two players we feel can help our team this season and in the following seasons. Great talks with Cheese!

Honestly, I think we as a league are lucky to have the DET GM. Love the way he has brought his team along.

Giving up his 1sts for the next two years tho...
That's how they get you in this league!
