Almost every site where I see trade rumors, nothing much about Detroit. Most say they will stand pat. The question is: Is this team good enough to win a cup with a couple of additions and some luck? I think they are and it is frustrating when I see all of the contenders lining up to improve their chances but when it comes to Detroit, they say "they want to build this to last". Well, Toronto has had a top team for 5 or 6 seasons now and nothing to show for it. I think the ultimate goal is to win a cup so why not try? We have so many good prospects and we will never have room for all of them. Do the math. Why not trade some prospects like Wallinder, Mazur, Augustine etc to acquire a difference maker. If we get a steady D and an upgrade at 2C, we could really make some noise. We may not have Kane next year either. I hope I am wrong and they make a big deal. If the teams you are going to face should you make the playoffs all intend to improve at the deadline, I think Detroit needs to as well. We all know Yzerman keeps everything close to the vest so for all we know, he is working on something. I compare the Wings to the Lions in one regard and that is when you start to get good players through the draft, at some point you have to give them big contracts and the goal should be to win when they are under their rookie deals because that is the time you have $$ to bring in missing pieces.
