Red Wings' biggest prospect pool weakness revealed
Steve Yzerman and the Detroit Red Wings have been rebuilding for quite some time now and fans aren't so sure that the "Yzerplan" is working to its fullest potential.
In the first round of the NHL Draft, the Detroit Red Wings took winger Michael Brandsegg-Nygard. It was considered a solid pick, but some of the other picks were a bit questionable. Either way, as The Hockey News reports, the Red Wings are exceptionally deep when it comes to their prospect pool. Unfortunately, there is still one weakness that persists.
So there you have it, the Red Wings need a superstar. Unfortunately, getting one is a whole lot easier said than done. That said, the Red Wings do have a chance to make the postseason for the first time this decade, in the 2024-25 season.
