Wings Re-Build On The Fly

from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail,
In short, the Red Wings did what was supposed to be nearly impossible — rebuild on the fly, with most of the players who make a difference on what was the best team in hockey, regular season and playoffs, playing on affordable contracts in an environment they’re not anxious to leave.
For all the winning the Red Wings did in the past, it was clear that this championship resonated with general manager Ken Holland, the architect of the team. In the pre-salary cap era, the Red Wings were able to outspend some teams. Even though they succeeded where other large-market teams (Rangers, Maple Leafs) faltered, there was always a stigma attached to their financial clout, as though somehow that cheapened the victory.
Not this time.
