Dom Luszczyszyn with a survey of the fans on NHL front office ranking.

Detroit ranks 27th.

Detroit needs a full rebuild and fans are clamouring for it, especially after an excellent showing at the 2018 entry draft. The Tomas Tatar trade was a good stepping stone toward that and the team did get a massive haul for him, but there’s still a lot of work left to do and the cap situation is still dire. Detroit is a ways away still. The Red Wings land near the bottom here, but it’s a step up from where they were last year and fans are a bit more confident now, which is a bit funny considering how low the team still ranks across the board.
