They are at least five years away from competing. Absolutely dreadful in goal, defense and forwards. Larkin is a good player. But he's not elite. Things are about to get worse before gett better.

... and the winner of the 2020 NHL draft lottery is .... NOT Detroit or Ottawa.
Fine by me, I'll gladly take Byfield.
Oh don't get it twisted Buttman will never give the Wings a top 3 pick!!I was speaking more to how teams have snuck up the last few years, and not about who would be around at 2-4. Teams clearly tanking, and it not paying off with one of the top 2 picks.
Yes and now that there’s a lottery it’s a depressing place to be. Looking forward to the Sharks jumping above us to pick Byfield
Pretty sure this is rock bottom. They've got a few top 10 picks in the AHL who should all be NHL ready next season. Add in that they're likely getting a top 5 pick (finally) this season and that could be 4 top 10 picks added to the roster. They have the money to do something in free agency too, and Yzerman is active with trades.They are at least five years away from competing. Absolutely dreadful in goal, defense and forwards.

1st game 2 goals
Very small sample size, but man, it sucks being a Buffalo fan thinking "could we have used him? Nahh, I'm sure he's done.. anyways, let's watch that Det-Boston gam- ****. 2 goals already!?"
Hope Detroit works out for him, could really be a great situation. Also, props to Detroit for dropping Boston and just playing a gritty game, was nice seeing them largely silence that incredible first line of Boston's (if just for 60 minutes).
So, here's hoping that they don't stay in that hole for too many years.Not really a fan of the team but always had a soft spot for them, because of the courage to assemble those euro-heavy teams in the 90ies. The Russians, Lidström, Yzerman et al. were a treat to watch.

Things can change pretty quick, especially for teams with good management.They are at least five years away from competing. Absolutely dreadful in goal, defense and forwards. Larkin is a good player. But he's not elite. Things are about to get worse before gett better.
