You Hockey Knowledge is Showing ...
Oh young D.J. Your lack of hockey knowledge is showing. True, The wings stacked the team full of older greats this year. However, the Red Wing's farm club is one of the most extensive in all of the NHL. Take Mattieu Dandenau, Sean Avery, and Jason Williams .. they are all from the Red Wings farm system. Avery isn't even playing in the playoffs, but he is good (a little scrapper, too). Also, free agents are going to come flocking to the Wings. When Hasek retires, Curtis Joseph will probably come here next year (I'll even bet on that one), and other free agents will, too.
One more thing, Roy has been playing in the league 18 years; he will retire in the years to come; Sakic will hang it up when Yzerman does. Igor Larionov (oldest guy in the league) has been less of an impact this year and the Wings really won't miss him that much. Robataille and Hull were only gap fillers (great gap fillers) until the younger farm club players come of age.
Don't count Detroit out after this year
