Yzerman is building a team for the playoffs. Platoon at goalie and see who’s hot. Both have shown to be good. Wings need more men up front, guys that will go into the corners and play defensively. Look at Tampa and now look at Florida. Not flashy, a couple high end players and lots of guys that have bought into the system, playing tough.
When you have a cheap-assed owner who's been your buddy for 40 years, no sense of urgency needed on your part. Yzerman will have to walk away from this job, say in 2029-2030, when he turns 65 and we are STILL in a rebuild, before trust-fund Chris would EVER THINK of firing him. Even he will be ashamed at a 10+ year rebuild on his resume.
They didnt win draft lottery as usual but they drafted good kids and still havent got the team built. Good thing he has left team in a good cap position

Yzerman should of been gone 2 years ago. If they had a real owner he would of been gone.
