Chaos is a strong word.
Neil Smith used it anyway.
The former Detroit Red Wings executive and Stanley Cup-winning general manager took a hard look at his old organization during the NHL Wraparound Podcast, and what he sees isn't merely an offseason with a few unanswered questions.
Smith sees a franchise caught between eras, still searching for the person who will run hockey operations while its captain continues to wait for a trade that may never come.
"And until those two things are ironed out … the team will stay in chaos until those things are figured out," Smith said.

During his time with the Detroit Red Wings, Neil Smith served as head scout and ****** istant GM. He ran the club's farm system.
Smith was instrumental in Detroit's masterful 1989 draft class. It was he who insisted that the team had to draft Sergei Fedorov.
In short, the franchise means a lot to him.
"I have great affection for the Ilitch family," Smith said during the NHL Wraparound Podcast that he co-hosts with Vic Morren.
"Mr. and Mrs. Ilitch bought the team from the Norris family back in 1982, and it has done nothing but go up, up, up in prestige and in value ever since that time. Unfortunately, Mr. Ilitch has since passed, and Mrs. Ilitch is now 93 years old and still hanging in there.

Princess Anne has long been known for her sensible, authentic approach to fashion—and her jewelry and tiaras reflect that same understated sensibility.
From classic pearls and family-gifted tiaras, the Princess Royal has always favored consistency and meaning over headline-making sparkle.
InStyle looks back at 10 of Princess Anne's best jewelry moments through the decades.
From timeless pearls and sculptural brooches to heirloom tiaras, Princess Anne's jewelry collection is one to watch. As royal fans know, the Princess Royal has an undeniably authentic and practical approach to fashion, regularly rewearing decades-old pieces and favoring function over fleeting trends. She's even been known to pair sporty wraparound sunglasses with her otherwise polished royal looks. Case in point: Anne has always marched to the beat of her own drum, and her jewelry collection follows suit.
In fact, you could say Anne paved the way for some of the royal family's now-signature style moves. Long before royal outfit repeating became a headline-making habit, she was pulling beloved pieces from the back of her closet and wearing them all over again. And in 1973, she bucked engagement-ring tradition with a sapphire-and-diamond design from Mark Phillips—years before Princess Diana debuted her iconic sapphire sparkler. Her jewelry box tells a similar story: Anne returns to sentimental gifts and family heirlooms again and again, whether it's a tiara passed down through generations or a pearl choker she's owned for decades.
