As for you Christos if you werent such a Wings homer I could take your input more seriously. I am always willing to admit the issues with my team as I am a fan of the game above anything else and a Sharks fan second. Last season the analysist all said Detroit was going to be a much different team because of age issues and depth. That is exactly what happened. Your captain is 39 and many of your core players are over 35. I dont think next season will be dramatically different unless the Redwings get a facelift.
You can't disagree that the Wings will be a dangerous team to face in the 1st round. Sharks have more talent than the Wings but year after year in the playoffs we see that doesn't always equal a Stanley Cup. We are going to need some younger players to step up on Defense. However, our forwards and centers other than Draper, Bertuzzi and Holmstrom are all under 35 years old. So while I see your point, I don't see where we need the major facelift.
