As much as anything, the Wings need a new impact player, an element they haven't added since acquiring Shanahan in 1996. And there's no indication Mike Ilitch will simply allow Holland to add expensive free agents. There are few players as skilled as Fedorov. You don't deal him for the sake of change. That would be stupid.
Some moves are obvious.
Of the seven defensemen used against the Kings, at least three should be replaced. Steve Duchesne, Todd Gill and Larry Murphy might retire or be released, although Duchesne has a year left on his contract. Holland gave this group one more chance, and although it didn't work, I have no complaint with the attempt. The Wings deserved it. Martin Lapointe is an unrestricted free agent, and despite his bad penalties in the playoffs, he's too valuable to let go.
