TSN’s Travis Yost posted a survey of the depth of every NHL team’s center corps, and he ranks the Red Wings as “under-performers,” but I’m a little confused as to his criteria regarding centers:
Detroit: Upside in this group, but it’ll hinge on a couple of things: Robby Fabbri coming back from injury, and what the Red Wings decide to do further down the lineup. Derek Lalonde will have his choice between Pius Suter and Michael Rasmussen.
According to Yost, the Wings’ centers are, in order, Dylan Larkin, Robby Fabbri, Andrew Copp and Pius Suter.
According to the Red Wings’ website, in no particular order, the Wings’ centers are Dylan Larkin, Andrew Copp, Pius Suter, Michael Rasmussen, Robby Fabbri and Oskar Sundqvist. Not the deepest group in the league, but not terrible, either.
