The Buffalo Sabres and their Adams Plan swept the Detroit Red Wings and their Yzerplan in 2022-23. Did Steve Yzerman finally improve the team in 2023-24?
I’ve long since said that you can’t treat building an NHL team as though you’re playing franchise mode in a video game, but Steve Yzerman once again seems to be doing just that with the Detroit Red Wings. While Buffalo Sabres general manager Kevyn Adams has taken the preferred route in building through young players and prospects, Yzerman just keeps pulling off trades and hoping chemistry builds amidst what should be a talented lineup.
