Sportsnet’s Ryan Dixon filed a mid-summer set of power rankings, discussing every team’s offseason additions (or the lack thereof), and here’s where he ranks the Red Wings:
22. Detroit Red Wings Getting Alex DeBrincat at a discount is a clear coup for Detroit, which will be banking on 35 to 40 goals for the local guy. J.T. Compher was a nice add, too. There’s no question the Wings are moving in the right direction, it’s just a question of at what speed they’re doing it.
Continued; I do agree that the Wings’ collective and individual performance levels for the upcoming season are in question, but that’s where we’re at.
