from the LA Times,
“The key to having success is you need to have a couple of guys take less money in a cap system,” Schneider said before Wednesday’s game. “Nicky Lidstrom did it, Tomas Holmstrom did it, so did Kris Draper. They still got Zetterberg on his four-year deal where he’s making two and a half [million].
“It’d be awfully hard to do in a year or two when they’ve got to sign all those players again. Fortunately, they got some of their top players at a discounted rate.”
Ducks defenseman Sean O’Donnell put scouting among the key reasons why the Red Wings have been able to maintain their status as a chief Cup contender every season.
“I think for the last 10 years, that’s really been the model organization,” O’Donnell said.
