Thread: What else do we need to make Playoffs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyScotty</b></div><div>1) stay healthy for the most part; it's a decent team on paper but fairly thin; especially where it matters most: the blueline.
2) step forwards from all the young stars (it's not a given that young players always get better every year).
3) making the playoffs requires being better than 8 other teams in your conference; not "better than you were last year" (although that's a good start)
Right now Detroit would be trying to compete with Washington, Ottawa, NYI, Columbus, and New Jersey for the 8th spot.
Did the Red Wings get 90 goals better (less against and more for) in the offseason?
My take is they maybe got halfway there if fairly healthy for most of the year; which does not put them in playoffs.

To get there this year you would need to improve the top end of the team by another 45 goals. The only remaining UFA's that can close that gap would be Kadri and Klingberg</div></div>

All thise teams except Ottawa didnt do much to improve i think they have a good chance against them.
