Will we make the playoffs

Created by: drummerdao
Team: 2021-22 Detroit Red Wings
Initial Creation Date: Jul. 26, 2021
Published: Jul. 26, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
If they pay a bunch to Wenneberg on a 1-yr deal, then they might be able to get him.

The goal of the 3rd and 4th lines is to spread some offense with defense in the forwards as well as give some younger players some veterans to lean on. Later in games they'd limit the ice time of Raymond, Veleno, and Pearson using a more defensive line of Namestnikov, Glendening, and Erne. When Bertuzzi comes back, Namestnikov and Pearson would rotate sitting bumping Glendening down to the 4th line.

I don't know if they're good enough to make the playoffs, but I think this would be a more exciting team to watch and not just because of Raymond and Seider.

On nights you need more defense, you swap Stecher for Lindstrom and maybe Nielsen for Pearson. Need more size, then Smith rotates in for Namestnikov or Erne (if he can't repeat his successes of last year).

Is this team better than Tampa, Toronto, Boston, Montreal and Florida? Even Ottawa might be better than the Wings this year

The best I see DET finishing in the division is 6th, above Ottawa and Buffalo

The team should be alot more fun to watch this year though, cant wait to get to Little Caesars Arena (Still weird not saying the Joe) this year for a few games!

I can't imagine that this is a playoff team. Certainly an improved roster, still a ways away.

Look at the Atlantic this year.

I’m not even sure the Leafs will make the playoffs, let alone the Wings.

I say no playoffs but this team should be much improved from 2 years ago. They will be competitive most nights and I expect the kids to show flashes.
