I wonder if EA will be bothered to update these, they sure as hell didn't for NHL17.

Hockey News projecting Red Wings roster in 2020.

Take this with a large grain of salt as this is someone's "guess", however, things look pretty bleak.

NHL's annual profile of each team's outlook over the summer is here.

I guess the author didn't get the memo from Gary B. that fans don't care about the cap.

From a poll conduced by the Hockey News, Detroit was ranked 29th/31 in terms of fans confidence in the front office.

http://www.thehockeynews.com/news/a...art-2-fans-weigh-in-on-how-each-team-is-doing

This is the most interesting result of the survey. Remember that just four teams are less confident than the public and one of those teams happens to be the team in 29th, and it?s by the largest margin too. The other fun fact? Detroit had the second largest group of fans in the survey, and boy are they pissed. Of all the fan bases, they have the least amount of confidence in what Ken Holland and co. are doing. It seems that the good will earned from The Streak is mostly over in Detroit. A look at their cap situation and who they?ve committed big money to is bleak ? and they gave most of those players no trade clauses, too. The Wings had 25 seasons of success, but there are dark times ahead with little confidence from anyone that the crew at the helm can steer the ship out of it.
