The Detroit Red Wings have long been known for taking a cautious approach with their prospects, often keeping them in the minors or overseas leagues until they are deemed fully ready for the NHL.

While this method was effective during the team's historic run, some fans now question whether it's still the best approach in today's faster-paced, younger league. Under the leadership of Steve Yzerman, prospects like Simon Edvinsson and Carter Mazur have seen significant growth outside the NHL, suggesting that patience can pay off. However, players like Jonatan Berggren may have been kept out of the big league too long, risking stagnation in their development.

The debate continues: Is Yzerman's strategy ensuring long-term success, or could it be hindering the rise of future stars? As the Red Wings look to rebuild and create a new dynasty, finding the right balance in prospect development will be crucial.
