The Detroit Red Wings are in the midst of a rebuild. And though former captain Steve Yzerman has returned to the team as the new general manager and is already making his mark on the franchise from a management position, there’s still a ways to go before they’re ready to contend again.
According to SportsBetting.ag, the Red Wings projected point total for the 2019-10 season is currently set at 75.5. For those of you counting, that’s a mere 1.5 points more than last season, when Detroit finished 32-40-10 – fourth from last overall in the NHL.
As far as winning the Stanley Cup, their odds are currently 100/1. Only the Ottawa Senators have longer odds to win it all next season.
Rebuilds certainly take time, but Steve Yzerman has a proven track record as a general manager.
