from Dave Waddell of the Windsor Star,
While many of the team draft tables around him were already empty, Detroit Red Wings assistant general manager Jim Nill had a name ready when it came time for the last pick of the 2002 NHL Entry Draft.
That final selection, commonly called Mr. Irrelevant, has turned out to be anything but irrelevant.
Defenceman Jonathan Ericsson, now the first name mentioned when it comes to the Wings’ top prospects, is the team’s most intriguing storyline heading into training this week.

Please Kenny, trade Lilja!! Trade him for a bag of chips if you have to, just get rid of him. There is too much talent growing old down in GR!!!

If the Wings do trade Andreas Lilja, Ericsson could be the “wide body” to come in and provide the beef.
I really think the intriguing happening over the next couple weeks is who they trade to reduce their salaries down to the cap, and how they open up the defenseman logjam.
