Benjamin asked how long it’ll take Steve Yzerman to get the Red Wings back to the playoffs and in contention for a Stanley Cup.

So while the Wings still have a long way to go, they theoretically could add a combination such as Lafreniere-Veleno-Seider-Cholowski, plus a healthy Zadina, to their lineup next season, and that doesn’t factor in any potential free-agent additions Yzerman might consider. I thus could see this team markedly improved by 2022, back in the playoffs by 2023 and, with a little luck, contending by 2025. Still a long wait but not an eternity.

Only 3-to-5 years to go (or so).
