Thanks for replying. Sorry for the confusion, I didn't mean to indicate that you thought Detroit was "elite". Was just sorta saying that I doubted one player elite Dman puts Detroit back into the elite class.
Hey, you're worried about Ericsson's contract? Well if that's the only one you're lucky. Most teams have two or three.
I guess the way to be a championship team is for your stars play to their contracts and more (Keith, Seabrook, Hossa, Toews, Kane) and have some of the others play above their salaries (Saad, Panarin, Shaw, Odyua, Richards, Tevo,) The Hawks seem to be able to change their bottom group with effectiveness, result will three Cups in six years. PS sorry if mentioned Hawks if you're a Wings fan.
