Ted Kulfan of the Detroit News with his season ending grades including the GM and the coach.
GENERAL MANAGER Steve Yzerman continues to grind away at a rebuild that is proving to be painstaking and difficult. The deals at the trade deadline were low-key this season, and the roster Yzerman put together — after a promising first half — faltered late. Yzerman's draft picks are beginning to arrive, and certainly Moritz Seider and Lucas Raymond were outstanding. But much work remains. GRADE: C
COACH It's already been announced Jeff Blashill will not return next season.
