NHL 12 Be A GM: Detroit Red Wings (Year 3)

I do not plan on covering this Dynasty as often as the other two, but this team is off to an amazing start. They went the entire month of October without a loss.

It took a lot to manufacture this team over the past three years. I had to take into consideration the fact that the Red Wings were getting older, and the same core group could not exist and deliver much longer.

My only concerns for this team are cap space, injuries, and future draft picks. In addition to talent, the team is relatively young. So, I think that I will eventually see more demanding contract offers. Also, a lot of the deals I made used up draft picks to get them through. There will be lesser amounts of young, fresh talent coming to the Red Wings.

I'll keep that in mind. Cleary is starting to decline, but he is not hurting the team. I must admit that I failed at getting rid of him, twice. I didn't renew his contract, then I re-signed him. I traded him to Colorado, but before the trade deadline, I got him back. Maybe I actually need him, so I'll keep him until retirement.
