The Hockey News’s Rory Boylen has posted his first set of power rankings for the 2024-2025 season ahead of training camps starting for NHL teams, and there’s not all that much to say about his blurb on the Red Wings:
18. Detroit Red Wings: The Wings surged forward to compete for a playoff spot, but this is where we find how out much gas is left in the tank to fuel the Winged Wheel higher. First things first: get Lucas Raymond and Moritz Seider signed.
Continued; the Red Wings had some significant offseason additions and subtractions, and whether the additions outweigh the subtractions is a big talking point; there is the goaltending situation to be rectified; and yes, Raymond and Seider need to be re-signed…
And I guess 18th is representative of where the Wings finished last season.
