When Raymond hits 25, Larkin will be 31, Bertuzzi 32. They'd better have found a bunch more talent to fill in the holes by then. And hope that goalie Ned pans out.

The Wings were always going to be a long rebuild. Holland left that franchise in terrible shape, with lots of awful contracts and almost no good young assets. And they’ve been screwed by the draft lottery, being bumped down an NHL high eight draft positions since Yzerman took over.
