Won a cup? Like 13 years. But they were competitive cup contenders for years well prior to that.
Let's say the 2023 Red Wings roster is something like this + add a couple free signings most likely as well:
Bertuzzi - Larkin - Mantha
Zadina - 2022 top 5 pick -AA
Rasmussen - Veleno - 2021 top 5 pick
McIssac - Hronek
Cholowski- Seider
2020 top 5 pick - ???
Please explain to me how that's still a bad team without the large percentage of their current top prospects/young players being complete busts? If Veleno, Zadina, Seider, Hronek, etc end up as quality players the team will be competitive well prior to 2025. If they are busts, the team won't be competitive until at least 2025 and (like I said) that means this current rebuild is ****ed because those guys make up the bulk of the future of this team.
We’ve been rebuilding for 3 years and are yet to get a top 5 pick, but we are due for 3 top 5 picks in a row...????
