DobberHockey’s Brendan Des makes “Bold Predictions” for the 2023-2024 season this morning, and his comment about the Red Wings is a little optimistic:
Detroit Red Wings – David Perron flirts with a 70-point pace
A lot of the focus in Detroit seems to be on Alex Debrincat, the team’s high profile offseason acquisition. When people consider who benefits from DeBrincat’s arrival, Dylan Larkin, the team’s captain and top forward is the first name that comes to mind. However, David Perron, who’s set to start the campaign beside Larkin and DeBrincat, is flying under the radar despite being in a great situation. Although Perron posted an underwhelming 56-point pace last year, he’d paced for 65+ points in five straight campaigns before that.
Continued; I’m certain that Perron will score more points this season, but I’m not certain how high he’ll go.
