This.
New lottery rules guarantees top-2 pick, and we don't have number 1 center. Next season Yzerman is going to tank harder than ever. Next seasons team is going to be same as this years team + seider. Johansson is not ready yet and Raymond might need 1 more year, but let him play the 9 games first and decide then if he's ready or not. Yzerman might bring a new coach in after the season, but i wouldn't be surprised to see Blashill re-signed. Yzerman still can wait and see for couple years if Tampa fires Cooper, next year Red Wings will tank and year after that team will filled with rookies. I don't expect them to make the playoffs, but the intentional tank should end after the next season.
So we're getting Gallant then?Round 1 Power or bust.

He was Stevie's linemate, and obviously familiar with the Detroit area.
Probably makes sense not to hire a friend, considering most coaches get fired eventually. That would be awkward.I think it was Bultman at The Athletic (or possibly Khan at MLive, I forget, I drink too much) who recently hinted that Yzerman is not considering Gallant and Lambert due to their friendships. I heard Brind'amour is at the top of the list. I dunno. I don't get too stuck on the coaches. We can watch players on the ice and judge for ourselves about 80% (pulling that % out of my ass, yes) of what matters with them.
But with coaches? We don't see what happens at practice, in the film room, in the locker room, etc. We are shielded from 80% of what's going on with them. We can see the results on the ice and then argue ad nauseam about how much of that result is on the coaches and how much on the roster. But I find it curious when fans seem so sure about so many different coaches. Lot of ignorance baked into many of those opinions methinks. (not saying it's out of bounds to have an opinion on a coach, just that the collective strength of opinions on coaches in general seems to be way too high)

The swedish Babcock no thanks, Frolunda's massively underperformed this year he has a very restrictive system. Big fan of Gronborg tho, and your three picks are spot on.First Round: Hughes, Powers, or Eklund
Coach: Brind'Amour, Rickard Gronborg, Igor Larionov, Roger Ronnberg, or Mike Yeo
FA: Alex Iafallo, Kyle Palmieri, Scott Laughton (Dreams: Gabriel Landeskog, Zach Hyman, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, or Brandon Saad- but I don't see us spending $7m a year for 7 years yet.)
