So what are those silver linings for the Red Wings?
That’s a pretty decent list.
If you just focus on just those five items and ignore the giant pile of losses and goals against, then this season just might not be all that bad after all.
There’s no doubt that Steve Yzerman has his work cut out for him, and I believe that he knows it won’t come solely come through drafting and developing. What will fix this team is a carefully calculated series of transactions through trade, and meticulous research of the free agency market not only this offseason, but the ones ahead.
