Well I mean... Look at the goalies available for yourself... Easily the best three are Loungo/Mrazek/Fluery... One of those three will be selected as there starter imo, and if they want two solid respectable goalies and money isn't an option, two of those three names will likely be selected. ( Loungo might honestly retire over play for them though. ) I don't think it's as clear as you're making it out to be.

Lol, sort of agree with you. He's not a true number one really anymore but if Red Wings could cement someone in as the number one C for this team Big Z could thrive on the 2nd line or as the teams top LW. I think people actually do forget he's our best offensive player, and really was still this year.

Idk, not surprising at all really. Holland is simply a guy past his prime and looks to be in denial mode about everything. He's not going to make a single move unless he's clearly the winner, no risk will be taken. Abdelkader, Howard, and DeKeyser all deserved to be unprotected honestly. Nosek, Sheahan, Mrazek are all mistakes to leave exposed. I always thought a deal could get done with the Jets involving Howard/Mrazek and D Tyler Myers. Likely wouldn't be straight up but Myers might end up having to be unprotected and almost certainly would be picked up by the Golden Knights if exposed. Makes sense to move him before that for value if your the Jets organization, just not sure either of the Red Wings goalies are what they're looking for. Honestly it'd be nice to see a super deal go down involving lots of players moving to get John Tavares as a Red Wing. LaLah land I know...
