Looks like this is a big off season for both clubs where they will need to dance on the line. The only thing I wonder is if lindstrom can do it one more time. Blake hit the wall bad in his last season. While lindstrom is a better player I just wonder if he can do it again. His stick work in the playoffs was impressive.
Edit holy crap they were paying Rafalski 6 mil a season? Wow!

Yeah, per the mlive.com article:
http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index....ki_will_4.html
Raf was making $6 mil, Lidstrom $6.2 mil, plus they will have another $6-7 under the cap. They will have some room, but they will need to also sign other positions.
Wings Current (One-Way) Contracts:
The Red Wings have 16 players under contract for 2011-12 at a salary cap hit of $41.84 million: (10-11 cap=$59 mil, 11-12 cap expected to be $63 mil)
Forwards
Pavel Datsyuk $6.7 million
Henrik Zetterberg $6.083 million
Johan Franzen $3.95 million
Valtteri Filppula $3 million
Jiri Hudler $2.875 million
Danny Cleary $2.8million
Todd Bertuzzi $1.9375 million
Tomas Holmstrom $1.875 million
Darren Helm $912,500
Justin Abdelkader $787,500
Jan Mursak $550,000
Cory Emmerton $533,000
Defensemen
Brad Stuart $3.75 million
Niklas Kronwall $3 million
Jakub Kindl $833,000
Goaltender
Jimmy Howard $2.25 million
They want to bring back Miller, Eaves, and Ericsson. Probably not = Draper, Salei, Madano, and they could possibly look to move Hudler. Money could prevent Ericsson returning, or movement of Hudler.
