The Tampa Bay Lightning had two gems, Steven Stamkos and Victor Hedman, but the rest of the team, the Martin St-Louis, Vincent Lecavalier, Simon Gagné, Pavel Kubina, Dwayne Roloson, were getting older.
“It’s a long-term project for me,” he said at his first press conference. Building a Stanley Cup winning club takes time. There is no magic bullet. You have to take your time to build a top club over a long period of time. ”
The team he left to Julien BriseBois in 2019 when he left to join the Red Wings organization, in order to be closer to his family, would win two consecutive Stanley Cups.
Detroit was in the same situation as the Lightning in 2010, although the rebuilding had started slowly under Ken Holland.
His first press conference, you guessed it, essentially resembled that in Tampa nine years earlier.
“It takes time,” he warned. I can’t give you a hint, but we’ll do it the way it should be. ”
The Red Wings, in mourning for their stars Nicklas Lidstrom, Henrik Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk, had just missed the playoffs for the three previous years.
They continued to be bad during Steve Yzerman’s two-year reign. He was strong enough to weather the storm, refusing to take shortcuts for his personal glory.
Its core of young people consisted of Dylan Larkin, Anthony Mantha, Tyler Bertuzzi, Filip Hronek and Andreas Athanasiou. Filip Zadina, Michael Rasmussen, Jared McIsaac and Joseph Veleno had just been drafted.
Yzerman went even further. He continued to rack up the draft picks. In its first three sessions, Detroit drafted four times in the first round, two picks in the top 6, seven times in the second round and four times in the third round.
After years of misery, we finally see the dawning of hope among the Red Wings, visiting the Bell Center on Saturday.
And the centerpieces of this relaunch were not yet in the background when Yzerman arrived two and a half years ago.
Mantha and Athanasiou have already left. Veleno and McIsaac are in the American League. Bertuzzi will miss two doses of vaccine to cross the border into Canada.
But from the height of his 5 feet 11 inches and 19 years old, the Swede Lucas Raymond, fourth overall pick in 2020, intervened in the first line and amassed three points in his first four games. Some dare to compare his style to that of Mitch Marner.
In defense, the German Moritz Seider, 20, sixth overall pick in 2019, has finally arrived. This young 6-foot-4, 200-pound right-hander has just been named the ultimate defenseman in Sweden and has quickly taken his place on the blue line. He’s averaging 20:58 in second pair with Nick Leddy (highest after Hronek) and has three assists.
Another nugget is sleeping in Sweden. Sixth overall pick in 2021, 6-foot-5 left-handed defenseman Simon Edvinsson, 18, not only fills the absence of Canadiens prospect Mattias Norlinder in Frolunda, he’s even better!
There is no easy game for the Wings these days. But their 3-0 loss to Calgary on Thursday was their first in regulation in four games. Another young club that has nothing to lose …
The feat of the day
With two goals on Thursday, Connor McDavid reached the 200 mark. He now has 201 in 411 games. Only Wayne Gretzky, Jari Kurri and Glen Anderson reached this milestone faster with the Oilers. Edmonton has won its first four games of the season and McDavid already has 11 points. At this rate, he would get… 225 this year.
Quote of the day
I have to give them credit, they did a great job obstructing my view. There are a lot of pucks that I couldn’t see. It’s their way of playing and they excel at it.

The Sharks played the same trick on Jake Allen and the Canadiens on Tuesday. They beat Ottawa 2-1, claiming a third victory in as many games and spoiling the return of Brady Tkachuk, who nevertheless got an assist.
The number of the day
The Blackhawks haven’t held the lead in a game since 301 minutes to open the season, a record. They pulled back for 255 minutes. They are 0-4-1, their worst start since 1997. Chicago has scored 9 goals in 5 games and allowed 21. When you compare, you console yourself … or not.
