I've said it before and I'll say it again, people act like Lou left the Devils in the worst shape ever of any team anywhere, that pales in comparison to the nuclear bomb Holland set in Detroit on the way out.
Detroit is in a far better spot than New Jersey ever was. Detroit has picked in the top 10 the last 3 years and have had 4 3rd round picks in 2017, 7 picks in the top 93 in 2018, and 3 2nd round picks in 2019. They're awful, and they have a lot of bad contracts, but those will all go away eventually, and the seeds for a better team are there. They were simply not there when Shero took over.
