DobberHockey’s Brad Hayward posted a set of predictions for the Eastern Conference’s teams today, and his prediction for the Red Wings is certainly aspirational!
7. Detroit Red Wings. Remember that part about sticking my neck out? Steve Yzerman makes brilliant moves, and Dylan Larkin flirts with 100 points and a Hart nomination (but not quite). Sleeper: Andrew Copp. Second line center is the perfect position for him, he’s back home to Michigan, and he will flourish.
Continued; I hope and I wish and I just want Larkin to stay healthy this season. 100 points would be remarkable, but getting Larkin through a season without it ending in some sort of surgery would be even better.
