As much as I hate to admit it, and I don't want to watch another sub .500 season, this seems realistic for the Wings.

Even if the Wings got a shiny new top 1 or 2 center and the left defense gets better I think they might squeak into the playoffs but aren't a contender for a cup.
Who knows though. Hopefully the new coach is great for the team.

There are tough decisions to be made. I'm glad it's Yzerman making them and not myself.
All things considered I wonder how much longer Larkin & the younger core can put up with losing seasons before wanting to be moved.
