ESPN’s Sean Allen and Victoria Matiash posted a set of fantasy hockey previews for the NHL’s 32 teams, and while their fantasy preview for the Red Wings is a little spare, I thought I’d share it with you:
Detroit Red Wings: Adding a weapon like Alex DeBrincat could unlock the next level for Dylan Larkin and Moritz Seider, two already valuable fantasy commodities. DeBrincat brings some serious goal scoring to the power play. He was 18th overall for fantasy in the 2020-21 season.
Could that also help drive Lucas Raymond to the next level and a proper breakout for the third-year winger? If not, David Perron could be in for another sneaky, veteran fantasy season.
With an upgraded defense, Ville Husso is a candidate to rebound from a disappointing debut after the Red Wings invested in him last offseason.
Continued; the best part of the start of the new NHL season is hope. Everybody has a chance to win and everyone has a new start, with 82 games ahead of them as a blank slate. Here’s hoping the Wings fill out their season with wins.
