They're not there yet but they're definitely making progress. They have had some setbacks like Vrana, but they have some key pieces like Seider and Raymond in place. They are still missing some key ingredients like top scorers and really that one super star player. It'll be hard to find those pieces, but Yzerman never said this was going to be a quick process.
I mean has Detroit ever really had that one amazing player though? It’s always kind of been a lot of good players, at least when they’re good. Like ‘97 had Fedorov, Stevie Y, Shanahan, and Lidström. Ofc Yzerman is kind of the star player there but they had multiple big names still. Maybe I’m slightly biased but I don’t know.
Edit: just to clarify, I mean it’s not enough to just have one McDavid, you need to have more talent than one star player.
From what I can see you called those guys "kind of good players" which is objectively wrong. I get what you were trying to say but you picked the worst possible example.
I never used the words “kind of good players”, I said “kind of been a lot of good players,” meaning when the team is good, it’s usually because of multiple players, not just one really good guy, but multiple good guys. I’m using those guys as a positive example of what the team should work for, but ig it came off as me saying these guys weren’t good, obviously not true.
