Are the Red Wings the worst team in the league?

It’s been a rough few years in Detroit but this year looks to be the worst. Nashville is just pounding them into the ground tonight. Detroit is dead last in the league in GA and 2nd to last in GF.

I mean they have an absurd amount of players past their prime on their NHL squad while a decent amount of prospects who probably are ready for the NHL are with the Griffins in the AHL .

This seems like an intentional tanking year for the Wings.

I mean I would say that unless you don't consider ottawa a team.



I think you meant I wouldn't say that unless you don't consider Ottawa a team.

But realistically Ottawa has the worst roster, they're just playing better as a team right now than Detroit.

The prospects in Grand Rapids aren’t ready for the nhl. It’s going to be a long year until we see who we are drafting between 4Th and 6th overall.

You’d like to think but having an absurd number of players past their prime is the usual Red Wing way. So there’s reason to worry. Hopefully Yzerman has a better plan in place than whatever the team has had in the last 5 seasons or so.

Well at least the old guys on defense are all expiring. Forwards still have some years left. So Yzerman will have some caspace to play with . Hopefully he does something better than what he did with Filppula who got a second year for no reason.
