What will ultimately decide the Yzerman era is was it wise to build around Larkin and did the pieces he get around him deliver. Jury is out so far.
This is worth noting. This is especially hard early in the season.They have played most games, 15 games, on this day. Only 4 teams have played 15 games on this mark. And Red Wings did start the season very late, think they did complete the games on shortest time period versus anybody.

So far we are 4th at East and 3rd at Atlantic.
Metro Top4:
1. NYR
2. CAR
3. WSH
4. NYI
--------
5-6-7 PHI/PIT/NJD
8. CBJ
NJD lost Dougie Hamilton for 6 months and have been struggling all season. I don't see PHI as real playoff team, and seems also Pens aren't enough good.
Atlantic Top4:
1. BOS
2. TOR
3. DET
4. FLO
-------
5. TBL
6-7-8 MTL/OTT/BUF
Tampa falling far away, they have really struggled since Vasilevskiy returned. It looked much better with worse goalies. MTL/OTT/BUF are still too messy and far away from the playoffs.
Montreal is getting by on OT and shootout wins. I think they’re more likely to finish in a wildcard spot than top 3 in the division.
Tampa is strange to me because that top 6 should be a lock for a top 3 division spot but the last two seasons they’ve forgotten how to defend. How integral to their success was Lalonde?
Also, if we want to pick over their bones if they decide to rebuild or retool, who should we make a pitch for?
Stamkos.
If that. I don't see MTL finishing in a playoff spot though, personally speaking.Montreal is getting by on OT and shootout wins. I think they’re more likely to finish in a wildcard spot than top 3 in the division.

Another team getting by on OT/SO wins is Toronto. Of their 12 wins thus far, only five of them are in regulation.
Depth wins championships, thats what i have always said.well, since their last cup win they've lost Goodrow, Coleman, Gourde, Killorn, Palat, and McDonugh. That's a lot of talent to walk out the door.

Bold. But not bold enough. Two years from now either Point or Kucherov will be a Red Wing.Stamkos.

My thought as well.I’ve wanted Cernak for years now. The guy is THE ideal shutdown defender. And having him on the second pair frees up Seider-Walman for more offense generation instead of being used as our shutdown pair.
I’ll take Stamkos too, but Cernak would give us a huge boost on D.
