The Detroit Red Wings have a problem.
Well, to be realistic, they have a series of problems. A lack of offensive depth, a porous defensive core, and a goaltending situation that’s elicited more questions than answers. Tackling one (or all) of these problems the offseason takes no shortage of effort. Steve Yzerman is not one for letting lingering issues persist. The team that ended the 2021-22 season will not be the team that starts 2022-23.
This offseason’s free agency class, however, leaves a lot to be desired. Barring big trades, there’s not much that can be done to fix the most glaring of issues.
