Why Steve Yzerman’s Next Bold Move Could Make or Break the Detroit Red Wings’ Future
If you look at a team like the Montreal Canadiens, they took steps in drafting, developing, and playing their young players. Similar to the Lightning during their rise to being a contender. Detroit has failed to do that unless there was an injury. This is not the late 1990s or early 2000s, when kids could stay in the AHL and overdevelop. There were 12 Hall of Famers on the team blocking their way up to the big leagues.
Despite what many thought entering the season, there was a legitimate case to be made that the Canadiens had a better team than the Red Wings. In the end, those who made the argument were right. Those young Canadiens were able to take advantage of good teams having a bad season to make the playoffs. Maybe with a move or two, the Red Wings do the same thing.
