Detroit Trading Block (Expansion Draft)

[Shoalzie]

I'm not shopping him at the moment but Andre Burakovsky will likely be available after the expansion draft.

He's got another year on this current deal and he's played well in Colorado. I figure since I'm not pushing hard for the playoffs right now, I think he'd be better off on a contending team.

Not taking offers right now but just keep me in mind if anyone is looking to add some offense this offseason.

In regards to the expansion draft, if anyone is looking to move a veteran player that you don't want to lose in the draft...I might have interest if the price is right.

With forwards, both Pius Suter and Nikita Gusev are exempt from the draft and Ross Colton is currently my 7th protected forward. I can see moving Suter in a deal if I'm getting a quality player coming back.

I'm probably going to need a goalie this offseason so if you're worried about losing a goalie in the expansion draft, talk to me. Bernier is currently my protected goalie but I'm looking for a more stable option.

Worth mentioning, Suter is waiver exempt for next year. I figured he'd be solid trade bait.

Not sure where he'll fit in the Chicago lineup with Toews coming back and I imagine they want to find a spot for Borgstrom.
