Bergenheim is the only one from the posted list I would consider since he turned into a scoring monster for the Lightning during this playoff run. Stevie Y will probably resign him so lets just get Eaves resigned for two years and by that time, the Wings newbies will be skilled and ready to take over. Would love to see Hudler traded for a stay at home defenseman since Huds really hasn’t done a damned thing like he was supposed to. Guy seems to afraid to shoot the damn puck. Package Hudler and Miller and see if Edmonton would consider coughing up some prospects since the Wings don’t draft high enough in the draft order.

Eaves at 1 million is a steal. Putting up 13 goals in 63 games while playing in every PK is pretty solid work. I think Miller is much more likely to go, and a less talented player all around. If Eaves got top-6 minutes he would probably put up more goals than Hudler or Filpula did.

Eaves is an integral part of the Red Wings future. He’s young, resilient, and can score goals. I see him working his way up to the second line if he stays here for pretty long. I personally like his work ethic as I see some Cleary in him and hope that he stays for as long as he can. The guy could score 30 goals a season on another team. He fits the system well and should stay.

This is such a no-brainer! YES, you sign him again! Playing the PK isn’t a glamorous job and doesn’t reflect in the stats, but is important nonetheless. I say sign him at $1mil and it’s money well spent. Reminder: first hat trick of his career this year.

I think a 2 year deal at 1 mil per season Is a fair enough offer for his skills I like Eaves and hope the wings will retain his services and the same offer for Drew Miller and I believe both ould accept that offer we shall see and I would not want more that a 2 year 2.5 mil per season for Jonathon Erickson!!
