Red Wings address several needs in free agency, but are they better? (www.mlive.com)

Like the article suggests, I'm not entirely sure we're better on paper than last year.

Obviously there's more to a good hockey team than being good on paper though. What are everyone's thoughts?

I think the moves make a lot of sense. Keep the culture and team moving forward, and create some road blocks so the young guys have to earn the way on to the team. Ideally we will have Danielson and Kasper taking over the 2 and 3C spots from Copp and Compher who will then move to the winger spots. I know everyone wants those high end goal scorers, but look at Vegas. Depth and defense win cups, and that's what we are building towards.

But that's why they needed to bring on Eichel to finally win a cup. We do really need a 25 - 30 goal scorer to be truly competitive.
