from Will Burchfield of 97.1 The Ticket,

"We’re in a transition, we all know it. I think the last two drafts have been very interesting for us. We have some good players, I saw it up at (training) camp now," said Zetterberg, who announced his retirement Friday in Traverse City, the same place where his Red Wings career began in 2002.

The rise of a new core was also evident over the past few seasons, Zetterberg said, in the likes of Dylan Larkin, Anthony Mantha and Andreas Athanasiou.

"We’re getting there, and I think this year there will be some new faces on the squad. I think we’re not that far off. That’s a good thing, but it’s going to take hard work, that’s for sure," Zetterberg said.

About Abel to Yzerman

Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977. No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y. Re-phrase: we do little research, find facts and stats highly overrated and claim little to no preparation. There are 19 readers of A2Y. No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature. Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that.
