I know, I know.
There’s been a lot of change this offseason. The Red Wings finally rid themselves of some of their worst contracts. The prospects are on the rise. Heck, some may even make the leap to the big leagues this offseason. The roster Steve Yzerman inherited and the one he has at his disposal are two totally different monsters. But, like all monsters, they need to be conquered in their own unique way.
The teardown is the easy part. The hard part is what comes after.
While the Red Wings have a slew of exciting pieces in the works, they still have a ways to go before it’s time to contend once again.
