Bleacher Report’s Lyle Fitzsimmons offers a set of preseason power rankings, and the Red Wings end up about where you’d expect them to end up:
#22 DETROIT RED WINGS: Another year to gauge the Steve Yzerman plan. Alex DeBrincat is the headliner among a handful of notable additions, and the Red Wings hope his scoring boosts an offense that was 24th in 2022-23.
Continued; meh. It’s the first day of training camp for most teams. I’m not putting too much stock in power rankings. And the Red Wings finished below the playoff line, so they’re not going to be ranked highly.
