L’Yzerplan était censé sauver les Red Wings de Détroit. Au lieu de cela, le même effondrement continue de se produire. Après des années de confiance, de patience et de quasi-percées, tout commence à sembler bloqué. Alors que les séries éliminatoires de 2026 s’éloignent, une question s’impose. Cette reconstruction a-t-elle jamais fonctionné, ou la croyance a-t-elle survécu aux résultats ? Twitter – https://x.com/hectichockey Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/hectichockey

I pronounced purgatory correct this time guys
When every team is rebuilding every few years, no one really is.
I've left comments on other similar videos. This franchise absolutely bleached their future when chasing 25 straight playoff appearances. If anything, I'm surprised they are even this close to making the playoffs, and I feel bad for Yzerman having to clean this mess.
Likely looking at another couple seasons, before they confidently crack the playoffs. Maybe a wildcard next year with an early exit, but true, genuine progress, is still 2, maybe 3 seasons out.
Best people temper their expectations, if they want things done properly, otherwise, the Wings, might become the next Toronto Maple Leafs, delivering nothing but delusional hopes and prayers for 60 years.
Hang in there, Wings fans. Yzerman will deliver something worthy of the wait, I'm sure of it.
The yzerplan and the shanaplan. Both hockeytown failures
Mushy middle
Fooled who? Only the brain dead fans that could not see what was happening.
If I hear any Seider slander…
Yzerman is great at drafting, but doesnt get it when talking about building a Team.
The only way he can fix the Wangs is with a time machine.
It’s the same shit with Tampa. He drafts all their best players. He leaves and then Tampa Bay wins 2 cups the next years with a team he built and drafted. It will be the same thing in Detroit. He will draft and slowly piece together a team, you guys will force him out because you’re impatient. The team will become a superstar team that he built and probably win a cup or 2. Cycle and repeat
The draft lottery screwed us.
Just another 10 seasons, be patient! Another 10 more seasons and will be Stanley Cup contenders.
Ottawa was in the same spot. While Dorion and his scouting eye brought in a bunch of great pieces, they needed a fresh eye to finally figure out the surrounding cast (Staios).
Cursed since they left the joe
Detroit will never make the playoffs again
Nothing better then watching the redwings miss the playoffs for 10 straight 😊😊😂😂
Worst pro scouting in the league..
ew, using AI overview as a visual
You have the ten years of Detroit first round drafting get you Dylan Larkin. That’s it. Ten years. You have Abdelkaders contract over THIS year. Every year this team has improved. Yzerman knows what he’s doing. Yzerman is invested heavily in this team. Yzerman’s drafting since 2010 has been one of, if not the best. Yzerman has been here since 2019 and started with nothing – he’s not in th hot seat, that is just media and “content” fodder. Also, Detroit is hard to get players to come to, it ain’t a destination (for now).
Toronto had the shannaplan hmmm something in common .
I think he deserves 1 more year to spend some money to get things going, if he fails after that, cut him loose
Well…at least this is the last year that we have to pay for Justin abdelkader 😅
"…NHL version of purgatory." Laughs in Vancouver Canuck
Making the playoffs is the wrong metric. The question is when will this team contend for the Stanley Cup. This is not something that anyone ever expected us to do this year, and progress on it doesn't depend on exactly which year we return to the playoffs.
When Yzerman started 7 years ago, we basically had no prospect pool. Three years ago, people had noticed that we had gone from one of the worst prospect pools to one of the best, scattered all around in various leagues. Last year people rating our top prospects noticed that nearly all of them were in Grand Rapids. This year they have started making their way into the NHL. Give them another year or two to all arrive, then give them time to grow into their frames, adapt to the NHL level of competition and schedules, and then adjust to how the league adjusts to them. By 2030, we should be a serious Stanley Cup contender, unless we are dumb enough to tear it all down and restart the process just before it was about to bear fruit.
No comment on Tampa Bay being a more attractive city to live in than Detroit, and I think that's a real consideration for free agent talent, let alone states' different tax codes.
It’s wild that people still defend him as a GM… thankfully more and more people want him gone
10 years fuck the yxerplann
7 years nothing
Red Wings nation need Patrick Roy to coach or GM
I was in the building yesterday when the Wings lost to the Devils. I don't think I've ever seen a crowd so deflated to watch a team that technically still had a chance. Team had no fire or grit in their game and just looked like they were there to get to golf season sooner. I'm not cocky enough to claim I know what the actual problem is in Detroit, be it Yzerman, the guys on the ice, or something else, but something has got to give. You can't just keep running it back and expecting something to come out of it.
Detroit was 12 points in first place in January it’s not Yzerman fault that the players stopped playing
Don't know about Yzerplan, but if someone asked me, a casual NHL fan, to name a Redwings player, I probably couldn't. So what they need is some star power. They had Zetterberg and Fedorov and all, now just a bunch of nonames.
The Red Wings could have made the playoffs this year, if they fired Yzerman.
If they want to be a contender, they need two superstar forwards and elite D demand and a good goalie that’s what every contender has. Dylan Larkin is a good player. Don’t get me wrong but he’s not a a player that can change the franchise. Seider is your elite defenseman, but he’s gonna need someone on the front end. they have all the tools to be great, but they don’t have a guy like a Crosby Malkin Ovechkin prime Kane Toews Bedard Celebrini Mackinnon. Just having one of these players on a team like this can change the direction of your franchise, but having two would make you a contender for the cup.
Lame title… It wasn't Yzerman's fault the players decide to take a break in March every year. Unsubscribed.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Can't go to Russia and pluck those Commies! Their drafting is pretty good. Look, they are close but offence is driven by Patty "Old Man" Kane. Larkin is okay but is now aging. Do what Florida did, and move on from Huberdeau. Who do you replace Larkin and Kane with?
You got a ton of cap space and no balls to spend it. Come on…
Look, if you had one shot or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted in one moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?
can you do better look at Detroit's roster they gonna be a dangerous team for years to come your talking out ur ass his drafting is top tear your a momo nincumpooop and imma habs fan just saying facts
Well, they suck, I kind of enjoy now how stupid and vapid they play, like a joke..that's on all of us.
I think another thing that you didn't address is that Yzerman had two elite players in Tampa when he took over in Stamkos and Hedman. Yzerman had Larkin here in Detroit and thats about it.
At what point do you stop blaming Yzerman and start holding the players accountable? They were good enough. They did not get it done. Does Steve have to put a jersey on again? And your system is loaded with young talent. He did his job in that regard.
Considering what he did in Tampa, I’m surprised he wasn’t able to make the Wings a mid playoff team
Raymond was never a top line option unfortunately
Ken hollland was a great general manager because he had owner that was willing to spend money.I'm not seeing that with junior.
I try to focus on the good, they got better each year although missing the playoffs.
A lot of our talent is long term with appealing contracts and we’re sitting in a boatload of cap space….but he has to pull the trigger on a risk and that’s something he hasn’t done. I hope Cossa pans out, that will make the yzerplan or break it…
I don’t agree that Yzerman was all that in TB… Yeah, he was GM but the team had a solid foundation (Stamer and co.) and he was surrounded by damn good hockey people like Brisebois…
