Good season, disappointing end. I thought though even if they won, the joy would be short lived. Too many injuries piled up. I doubt they would have had much left for Vancouver.
I like their blue line players, I hope they keep most of them. They really need at least one really good defensive forward. The main reason their PK has been bad the last few years is that they've failed to find adaquate replacements for Maltby and Draper. Its why Draper has yet to be put out to pasture, even at this age they have more confidence in him than some of the younger guys.
They must convince Lidstrom to come back, #1 priority. I thought Kronwall had a really good playoffs. I think they'll lose Erricson, but that would be a loss. He's starting to come on.
The one good thing about the Wings is they develop a lot of players and they also have a good knack for finding players who've washed out elsewhere. Eaves and Clearly being the latest examples, Draper and Maltby were some of the firsts. They need to find someone like that.
