NHL.com is providing in-depth roster, prospect and fantasy analysis for each of its 31 teams throughout August. Today, the Detroit Red Wings.
The Detroit Red Wings want to be in the race for the Stanley Cup Playoffs this season, not to win the Cup now, necessarily, but to win the Cup in the future.
"The hope is that we can hang in," general manager Ken Holland said. "The longer that we can hang in, I think the better the environment is for everybody -- for the fans, for our players, for especially our young players.
