Today's question for Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press is basically why is Jeff Blashill still coaching for the Wings?
To pin this dismal season on Blashill is unfair. The Wings lack an established no. 1 defenseman (that’s what the hope is Moritz Seider evolves into) and a game-changer up front (that’s the hope for FIlip Zadina). General manager Steve Yzerman has tried to strengthen the team via a handful of moves, but they have been minor ones: Signing free agents Valtteri Filppula, Patrik Nemeth and Calvin Pickard, and trading for Adam Erne, Alex Biega, Brendan Perlini and Robby Fabbri.
