The Red Wings have a lot of unknowns this season, but Jeff Blashill said that can be a good thing.
In a one-on-one conversation, the second-year NHL head coach told Brad Galli losing Pavel Datsyuk might help the Red Wings change their identity 'a little bit easier.'
Blashill also explained why Red Wings fans should expect a faster pace to games this season.
Plus, Blashill discussed the offseason signings of Frans Nielsen, and who tipped him off to aggressively pursue the free agent.
Tomas Tatar, Gustav Nyquist, and Riley Sheahan will be getting more ice time this season: a result of Blashill counting on them to do more for the Red Wings.
