There\u2019s no use crying over spilled milk, and in the NHL, there\u2019s no use crying over a lost season. <\/p>\n

The Detroit Red Wings<\/a>, who fell short of the playoffs after a late-season collapse, can only look ahead to the upcoming offseason. The pressure on general manager Steve Yzerman and company to get this team back to the postseason next year after a decade-long drought will be immense, and they\u2019ll have to take a cold, hard look at their roster to plug the necessary holes.<\/p>\n

There are a few areas Yzerman could look to address this summer, but perhaps foremost among them is goal scoring. Detroit\u2019s 2.91 goals per game this past season ranked 22nd in the NHL, with the Los Angeles Kings<\/a> being the only current playoff team to rank below them. With forwards such as Dylan Larkin, Alex DeBrincat, and Lucas Raymond, the Red Wings have proven, capable scorers, but it\u2019s clear adding some offensive firepower will be a priority.<\/p>\n

On Thursday\u2019s episode of\u00a0Daily Faceoff LIVE<\/a>,\u00a0hosts Tyler Yaremchuk and Carter Hutton were joined by\u00a0The Fourth Period\u2018s David Pagnotta to discuss how Detroit will look to add goal scoring this offseason.<\/p>\n

Tyler\u00a0Yaremchuk:\u00a0Steve Yzerman addressed the media earlier this week in his post-season press conference. The one quote, \u201cThe most obvious area would be we need better players. We need to improve in particular areas, goal scoring at 5-on-5.\u201d Is that the flashing light that the Red Wings want to add someone big this offseason?<\/p>\n

David\u00a0Pagnotta:\u00a0It should be, and he acknowledged that. He\u2019s going to try. They\u2019re going to try to make a bit of a splash here in the summer. They tried to do that in the season with Quinn Hughes. They tried other areas; they were engaged with other teams with some of their star players. It\u2019s clear that they want to address offense, because as much as they were looking at defense, and they brought in Justin Faulk, they were also pressing hard to try to bring in a top-six guy. It looks like that\u2019s going to be the priority.<\/p>\n

We touched on this a few weeks ago, they\u2019ve got a good pool of assets now that they can take next steps with and also package up in order to bring in some immediate help for this club in order to take those next steps. \u201cDisappointment\u201d was the word of that press conference, and they need to get out of that. It\u2019s time to start pushing this rebuild plan and taking the next steps in it. That involves being aggressive this offseason.<\/p>\n
