How long is 'too-long' for the Yzerplan?
Hi everybody, and welcome to Red Wings Rant: Where tirades and impassioned pleas about your Detroit Red Wings finally have a home.
We’ll kick off with some quick hits before diving into rebuilds and trade chatter:
Michael Leighton joins the staff—an interesting choice given he’s often remembered for yielding Patrick Kane’s Stanley Cup–winning goal back in 2010.
• Mason Appleton is inking his deal to bring depth up front.
• Elmer Söderblom re-signs, keeping that heavy shot and energy in Detroit’s lineup.
Do NHL Rebuilds Actually Work? Top Takeaways
(From Paul Pidutti / Adjusted Hockey)
Modern rebuilds average 8.5 years from bottom‑10 finishes to back‑to‑back playoff berths—meaning a team rarely snaps its tailspin in under a decade Daily Faceoff.
Half of the 20 rebuilds studied yielded at least one Stanley Cup, and nearly all produced sustained contenders—even if they took closer to 10 years to peak Daily Faceoff.
GMs often endure losing to buy time, and fans have grown more accustomed to multi‑year rebuilds—yet the expectation clock starts to tick loudest once you’re in Year Nine or Ten.
Why We’re At a Crossroads
Steve Yzerman’s rebuild in Detroit is now entering its 10th season without a playoff return—well past the league’s 8–9‑year norm—and the “we’re almost there” narrative is wearing thin. It’s time for Yzerman to shift from accumulation to execution and deliver tangible results.
Trade Targets to Push Us Over the Edge
Let’s play matchmaker for Steve Y’s quest to turbocharge the lineup:
Tune in as we debate who makes the most sense, what price Yzerman might pay, and how each move could finally end Detroit’s rebuild blues.
