Detroit Hockey Now’s Bob Duff reports that one Chris Pronger has questions about the Red Wings’ rebuild (but no answers):
“What is going on in Detroit?” Pronger asked on X, the social media site once known as Twitter. “Steve Yzerman out. Where do the Red Wings go? And by the way, what’s up with the timing? They’ve already gone through the draft, already gone through free agency.”
Coupled with the trade request from captain Dylan Larkin this offseason, and the apparent departure of future Hall of Famer Patrick Kane as a UFA, things are spiraling in this self-proclaimed Hockeytown.
“We’ve got this whole Dylan Larkin scenario going on,” Pronger said. “What direction is this franchise headed? Is this team headed? Are they wiping away the last seven or eight years of the Yzerplan, as we call it? What exactly is going on in Detroit?”
It’s a fair question, and considering the uncertainty, the number of balls that are currently up in the air, it’s clearly difficult to pinpoint an answer.
Here’s another valid question to ponder. After seven years under Yzerman’s rule, how much further ahead are the Red Wings? Pronger is also pondering what you’re pondering on this matter.
Continued; here’s the Tweet, and if you don’t have some answers, other than to assign blame…Whoopdeedoo. Many Red Wings fans and analysts are asking the same questions. The fact that Chris Pronger is asking them ain’t special.
Steve Yzerman is OUT as President/GM of the Detroit Red Wings 🤯
