About Abel to Yzerman

from Ted Kulfan of the Detroit News,

The Red Wings have known too well, for the sixth consecutive season, the life of a selling, non-playoff team. They've seen plenty of teammates sent to playoff contenders this time of year.

It's likely going to happen again before Monday. Defenseman Nick Leddy was held out of Thursday's game in Vancouver, called a "management decision" by the Wings, with several other players possibly joining Leddy.

“Unfortunately we’ve been here too many times in the last number of years (sellers) and I’ve seen guys react different ways,” coach Jeff Blashill said.
