News conference scheduled for Wednesday to announce Rafalski retirement. That was fast and out of the blue as everybody was focusing on Lindstrom's status. Below is a reference regarding Smith in the article:
Brendan Smith, Detroit’s first-round pick in 2007, has a shot at making the team, but the Wings prefer to have their prospects be go-to guys in the minor leagues than fifth or sixth defensemen in Detroit.
Internally, Jakub Kindl will most likely get a chance before Smith. Wings will also be going after a free agent defenseman since $6 million is now freed up from Rafalski. Lindstrom's decision may also impact Smith.
