The last time a team drafted a number one pick overall, added him to the line-up next season, and signed a buttload of free agents that looked like a team that no one could beat was in 05/06 and it was the Pittsburgh Penguins and.. yeah, well.. you know how well that turned out.
If this season blows up in their face, it won't surprise me. Just because they're adding a handful of free agents to their team, it doesn't make them unstoppable. Penguins did it a few years ago, and before the lockout, it didn't work out for the Rangers or the Leafs either.
I'm not sold on Tampa. Maybe they'll actually surprise me and end up being a top team again. But I don't think they'll be that big of a deal.

Watch Rolston NOT sign with Tampa Bay, haha.
Barry Melrose is an asshat. Tampa looks to be doing SOMETHING, but it will blow up in their faces for sure. When will the East wake up and realize, DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS. I don't know about you, but Tampa's defense looks like it has the potential to be Swiss Cheese, aka full of holes. They could have all of the firepower and a hot goaltender if they want, but it's not going to get them anywhere come playoff time, assuming they even make it. All one has to do is look at Pittsburgh.
Gary Roberts will NOT come to Detroit. Either Kopecky fills Drake's spot, or a cheap UFA is put in there. Kopecky is a serious downgrade, but hey, maybe Kenny will make a move this year. The big thing is replacing Stuart, who I still don't think is coming back.

Kopecky can do things. and what, did Drake retire? I dont see the Wings doing alot during the off season because we dont really need to do alot. We need a new backup and thats about it.

Ty Conklin is a VERY suitable backup for Ozzie, not to mention if he flounders we've got Howard in the wings.
I'd take Bertuzzi back in an instant if he came cheap. Bertuzzi > Kopecky
