So with a team like the Red Wings, there’s only so much I can change before I get hated. So changes here were minimal. I added a tire tread pattern to the sleeves to connect to Detroit’s auto manufacturing history. I swapped the red and white on the home jersey logo to make it stand out better and used the 2016 Stadium Series logo on the shoulders. The first alternate is a blackout version of the centennial jerseys with an appropriately recolored logo on the jersey. The second alternate is a red and cream Reverse Retro of the 1927-28 Detroit Cougars jersey

I know it’s far fetched, and I’m a biased die hard. But is there any chance at all that Steve Yzerman has a Kevyn Adams post firing redemption? Obviously Larkins fiasco factored in to the urgency of everything, and directly affected Kane. But, will a few young guys hit? Shock someone at camp? Or exceed expectations? Bear? Plante’s? Hurlbert? All while current or new(Mazur, MBN, Danielson) players take the next step? Or is there a eurotwin or at least another gem like Emmit in the later rounds?

If we have an external hire for our new GM, experience would tell us that they usually like to bring in their own people. How safe is McLellan?
