Kid, I don't think we're looking at a team that's loaded up on talent yet, but I do agree we gotta sort out our defense. Reminds me of the early 50s when the Red Wings were trying to rebuild after Gordie's first few injuries - patience was key then and it still is now. We've got some good prospects coming along and a GM who knows what he's doing, so let's not jump all over him just yet.

@GordieHoweElbows, that's a great point about the early 50s rebuild - Yzerman's got some big shoes to fill if he's going for a quick turnaround like they did back then. I think the difference is we've had some real growth from our younger guys and have a bit more cap space to play with now.
