Is Schevnikov a bust ? Evgeny Svechnikov RW GR 46 7 11 18 -3 Only 7 goals, Turgeon has 13, Russo 7... Humm... I think no because Nson’s coaching has relied a lot on veterans to that team. I think if he was on the top line with Lorito with those stats, yeah. Russo still seems to be a DeKeyser who could score

It has become apparent that Larkin may be the heir apparent dynamic player and perhaps future Captain for the Wings?
Which other players on the roster will consistently rise to the challenge in production and in leadership?

Good to see we have hope even if we don't hit the lottery. Go Holland ....

Interesting comments about the top draft prospects in MLive.
However, for the Wings, a top caliber dman who can move the puck quickly and efficiently out of our own zone is imperative.
Without such a dman, the Wings will continue to be mired in the bottom half of the League. Such a Dman would enhance the scoring by the top forwards of the Wings.

Poor forward looking planning or really NO planning for when arguably one of the best defensemen in the history of the league retires. Yeah, almost like the org didnt know what it had until it was gone. You can't fill a deep hole with one grain of sand at a time. I'm not going to data seek or look for proof but I have a hunch if you look back at teams winning the cup have had at least one elite defenseman. You don't win cups without them and goaltending. I'm a forward who likes to score but even I would build the team starting with defense and goaltending simply because you don't win cups without it. I don't think the league will turn onto playoff games with final scores of 8-6, 7-5 etc. It still is going to be 3-2, 2-1 type of games.

Putting together a legitimate Cup Contender . . .
Key Tactic - - up the middle with elite players - - goalie, two elite Dmen, and two elite Centers.
Supplemental and integral to the above:
At least one 30 goal scorer; however, two would be ideal.
In addition, at least three or four 20-goal scorers.
With that, a team can make a legitimate run for the Cup.

Looks like the young Wings have resolved the need of scoring punch.
Now, Holland needs to sign a couple of really young top-caliber Dmen.
Plus, a high-level replacement goalie.
And that would complete the Core Needs for a Cup Contender.
