Detroit Redwings Downfall

2026/2027 appears to be the line drawn in the sand, that is when all the placeholder contracts end. If you look at the rebuild objectively you can see there is a clear path and looks like it being executed nicely.

Yzerman just needs a few of ASP, Buchelnikov, Lombardi, Danielsson, Cossa, MBN to pan out and be real difference makers. If all those kids bust then I will start evaluating why.

So far many of those kids look really, really good in their respective development leagues!

Because we’ve seen how well dumping young guys onto the roster and being part of an aggressive loosing culture does to them (see: Buffalo, Edmonton, Ottawa)

Also how many points do you think Andrew Copp and Ben Chiarot have won for the Wings exactly ?

Yzerman is the problem.

Losing with a bunch of old guys is going to be much better?

The old guys are developed, the kids stay in the minors/europe to work on their game instead of getting absolutely roasted in the NHL. Last season Raymond Seider and Ed got a taste of what it’s like to play meaningful games.

That’s a hell of a lot better than just learning how to lose 6-1 every second game

Question - would Leafs fans rather have Marner at 13 mil, or Raymond at 8(?) going forward? If not, why?

How about Red Wings fans?
