A little strange that it took this long, considering the tweets thanking Jonathan Ericsson and Trevor Daley were posted the day after it was announced the team wasn’t bringing them back.

Steve Yzerman has generated more optimism the past three weeks than the Detroit Red Wings have had since … well, since he took over as general manager April 19, 2019.
