The signing of three free agent veterans had some fans seething mad. The Detroit Red Wings, in the midst of a rebuild, need to get younger, faster and more gritty on the ice.
If Red Wings fans had any say Filip Zadina, Joe Veleno, Filip Hronek and possibly Dennis Cholowski would be slam dunks to make the roster out of training camp. They are widely viewed as being NHL full time ready.
The Red Wings, with a few exceptions, demand that prospects are put in the minors for about three years before making it to the show.
