The Zetterberg Era
Ball Hockey Sucks
I'm fine with playing the Kids but the current Redwings defense will be in trouble without DeKeyser and Green. They're the only top4 vets left on the team.
DeKeyser hasn't played like anything more than a bottom pairing guy for two straight years. Not even a very good bottom pairing d-man since he is allergic to contact. Nothing about DeKeyser's game seems to have gotten markedly better since he broke into the league. Without that development it is tough to talk about him like he is impactful. Heck there is a reason Team USA picked Jensen over him for the World Championships in my opinion.
