Sometimes, teams have to make difficult decisions about the future of their roster. For some, this means parting ways with long-time players. For others, it means breaking up the core and committing to a full rebuild. In the case of the Detroit Red Wings, however, it involves cutting dead weight and moving on to better things.
There are quite a few players on the roster that need to seriously step up their game. These players in particular have been caught playing passively and frequently wind up on scoreless streaks. Some haven't scored in months.
