Nicholas J. Cotsonkia takes a look at the Wings too.

Difference-makers. The biggest reason the Red Wings have fallen off after a quarter-century of success is the erosion of their top-end talent. Defenseman Nicklas Lidstrom retired in 2012.

The Red Wings need to draft and develop not just NHL players, but impact players.
