from Dave Waddell of the Windsor Star, Youngsters like Darren Helm, Ville Leino, Jonathan Ericsson and Justin Abdelkader have shown they’re NHL-calibre players, but the economics of the salary cap are proving just as big an obstacle as a veteran lineup to earning a spot on Detroit’s NHL roster.... “What I mean by that is the best players are going to play on this team. If there’s a cap issue, that’s...

from George Sipple of the Detroit Free Press, Although the Wings will head to camp without a glaring weakness, there will be plenty of questions to answer.
