The rest of my target players are 27, 27, 29, and 27 respective to the order I listed, while Brewer is 32. As for Ericsson, I feel like he has been a bit disappointing so far, and very inconsistent. Granted, I think the Red Wings organization thinks much higher of him than I do. There was a big "if" in my scenario that would see Ericsson leaving, and that's whether the Red Wings want Brendan Smith in Detroit, because I am convinced that they will bring a defender in with at least part of the Rafalski money, and that only leaves one spot. I think there's a good chance Smith stays in GR for another year though. Of course, other factors are Lidstrom's retirement decision, and then how much money Ericsson demands (or how much other teams are willing to pay for him). He apparently turned down a multi-year contract offer from the Red Wings worth $2M+ per season, that concerns me a little. How much more does he think he's worth?

If they don't think he's worth the money why did he basically become the second line defenseman? Killing penalties and playing at critical times when even Lindstrom was setting on the bench?

I agree with your final order except that I would move Brewer a little higher on my list. Don't know why. Just a gut feeling. You're a very good writer. You should post more often!

Although I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the last, what was it? 36 seconds of the game, I would have tremendously appreciated being able to see all of it. I would have to believe that it was hands down, one of the most anticipated games of the Olympics, and many of us weren't able to see it...grrrr. Yes, thank you, NBC.

Not only are they politically inept, but they can't even understand that you don't switch the channel when hockey is on. Period. Nice article Garret!
