The Score posted its “Top 100 NHL Players” rankings over the last couple of days, leading up to their top 10. The Red Wings have two representatives on The Score’s list, and two of them are forwards.
90. Alex DeBrincat: The last time DeBrincat’s shooting percentage dipped below 15%, he followed it up by scoring at a 50-goal pace. Things didn’t work as well as hoped in Ottawa, but a move back home to Michigan with the Red Wings should rejuvenate the two-time 40-goal scorer.
And one ranks at the very rear of the Top 50:
50. Dylan Larkin: Larkin’s quietly put together back-to-back 30-goal, near-point-per-game campaigns. Now locked in at an $8.7-million cap hit for the next eight years, the 27-year-old remains the face of the Red Wings for the foreseeable future as the team looks to get back into the playoffs for the first time since 2016.
I don’t know where Moritz Seider is on their list, and I would not think that there are 100 players better than #53, but I am not objective here, and never have been.
