This is going to be one of the longest summers of recent memory for the Red Wings, not just because their season ended much sooner than we all wanted it to, but because the events that have gone down since their game seven loss to Tampa Bay has most of us looking forward to seeing how the Wings are going to look next year more than we have been. We don't know if the team is going to be better, but I'm anxious to learn how much different they'll be.
Don't get me wrong, looking forward to next season happens every summer.
