    Huge Steve Y fan. He said the right things today. Still trying to build a young core. I love the fact he isn’t obsessed with just trying to make the playoffs for the sake of making the playoffs. When you get no lottery luck you have to be patient.

      Fans of the Red Wings cannot seem to grasp this concept. They look at the 8 years missing the postseason and get impatient. The team he inherented was god awful and had to be rebuilt from scratch. We should've made postseason last year. The heart they played with was amazing, even though they had to really bad losing streak. Everyone was gased at that point, and Larkin not being there to lead the team really hurt. He is the heart and soul of this team and needs to stay healthy all season.

      Stoked to see some of the young guns make the team this fall! I am perfectly fine with Walman and Fabbri replaced with Ed and Bergers to see how they do. His signings have been excellent value and he's upgraded the team any way you look at it, all while focusing on a well developed young core. Hopefully get to see Danielson, ASP and Johanson up this year too, they all look pretty ready to me!

      @@T-Will-4554Larkin being gone while yes it sucked and was the reason we didn’t make tbe postseason? But I think it was a blessing, Lucas Raymond flourished in that time period and felt like Larkins Replacement. He showed poise, leadership, and was playing at an elite level. For the remainder of the season after that he was playing his best hockey. It was a major confident boost for Lucas and I expect him to have an amazing year this upcoming season.

    Yzerman is going against the trend that has been set by all these failing teams who try to fill massive gaps quickly through free agency or trades. True skill is drafted and developed, and players need more than a few years to develop true chemistry. Greatness doesn't happen quickly.

      The failing teams that fill gaps by free agency and trades?
      That's what the last 2 Stanley cup champs have done.
      Florida - 4 drafted and developed players on that roster everyone else aquired via trades and free agency.
      Vegas - 0 drafted and developed players, they signed and traded their way to a perennial contender as an expansion team.
      There is no one right way to build a contender.

      Right. Especially in today’s world. Hell, an iPhone would probably produce better quality. The quality of production, broadcast, national on air talent, announcers, etc for the NHL has absolutely plummeted. ESPN has been the worst I can remember. Remember the days of NBC, Doc Emerik’s voice, etc during the playoffs? I didn’t realize how much a good production really affects how we enjoy the game. This year’s playoffs were atrocious. The pregame, intermissions, post game, etc. a lot of diversity quota nonsense too.

You don’t pay $8M for a goalie to potentially play that badly, especially when his defense will be worse playing behind ours. On top of that, Cossa will be up the following season and Augustine a year or two after that. Then you have to find a way to move Sorokin again if either of those guys pan out. Just not a smart move, especially when the next few years aren’t cup contending ones.

I’ll wait………….. even if it takes longer than we all want including themselves. We just have to stick with it and know (hope) it will finally work out. I’m going to predict we will miss the playoffs again this year and go hard into next offseason and sign another player that we probably won’t get this season and then will make the playoffs MAYBE next season and hopefully winning a cup within the next five seasons. I remember everyone thinking Ken Holland was crazy when he told is a rebuild in the NHL takes 10 years. Steve is working on his 6th? I think. So yeah. It’s gonna be a min.

    STILL....The Wings Forwards as a Whole, REMAIN WOEFULLY UNDERSIZED & Offer NO Toughness (X-Cept for Rasmussen, Who Seemed to Play A BIT More Physical/Aggressive Last Season) Up Front, & WHY Did They DUMP Their ONLY "Physical/ Character" Guy Kostin (For LITERALLY NOTHING!!) Down The Stretch Last Season Which Made NO SENSE & (TO ME/US??) Was a MAJOR (& FRUSTRATING!!) FACTOR For Not (FINALLY!!) Making it To The P.O's (IMHO!!)??.....
    Please Believe NOT Having That Toughness/Size is THE Difference as The Season Wears On & FORGET About Surviving/Advancing In The Play-offs w/out it!!.....
    That FACT is Somewhat Mind-Boggling as Captain Stevie's Teams FLOURISHED w/That IMPORTANT Factor During Their BEST Seasons & Yes, The Game is OBVIOUSLY "Different" Now, (ie: LITERALLY NO MORE FIGHTING Really!!) But The SOLID Teams (Seemingly) ALWAYS Have Good Size & Intimidating Physicality Regardless Still!!.....

      Everyone has a plan until it goes to hell in a hand basket. I think that a lot of these GMs have great plans going into FA but very, very rarely achieve 100% of what they wanted to. Lots of variables and moving parts/targets to account for. Money, location, role on team, player morale, familiarity, etc. For them to do everything they set out to do every single season would be a crazy thing to achieve consistently. Impossible? No, but very unlikely.

    Reporter asks about making the playoffs & Yzerman responds by basically saying we'll creep into them & then hopefully stick around for awhile & then, after some time, compete for the Cup.
    As a fan, I understand this takes time. But it's been 8 years on this "rebuild" with 5 of those years with Yzerman as GM. When does it end? Good teams rebuild in 4 years & better teams can do it in 3. Use the Vegas Golden Knights system as a model to jump start this process and let's get this thing going.

    I'm still not sold on Larkin's contract. He's good, but not as elite as others making his money, and he's also injured multiple times per year. I think I saw on Capfriendly at the end of the year that he was Ranked 500 something for cost per point. Again, I like him, but his injuries, and production are worrisome on that big of a contract. More of a 7-8M, currently getting 11-12M?
