from Joh Niyo of the Detroit News,
...then it’ll be up to Yzerman and his front-office staff to make the decisions that'll shift this rebuild into its next phase.
That starts with Blashill's expiring contract, of course, a topic Yzerman politely tabled until after the season when asked about it Monday.
But like Bertuzzi, Vrana is scheduled for restricted free agency this summer as well, giving Detroit the option of re-signing him to a short-term contract before deciding whether to extend him on a deal similar to the one Mantha signed last November.
