Detroit Red Wings: What is a Realistic Rebuild Timeline?

Detroit Red Wings General Manager Steve Yzerman won't provide an answer on any timeline–and it's the smart move. Yzerman enjoys what not one other front office executive in the entire league has: goodwill with the fan base. Just look back to April 19, 2019 for evidence of that. Whimsically watching as he built the Lightning into what they are, his return ushered in optimism not felt in at least a decade.
