Four Red Wings among ESPN’s ‘Top 100 NHL Player Predictions’ list

ESPN ranked its “Top 100 NHL Player Predictions” for the 2024-2025 season. Several Red Wings made their list:

88. Alex DeBrincat, LW, Detroit Red Wings

2023-24 rank: 66
Age: 26

DeBrincat is a dynamic, scoring winger, the author of two-straight 27-goal campaigns. Can he get back to the 40-goal level he reached twice earlier in his career? — ESPN staff

86. Lucas Raymond, RW, Detroit Red Wings

2023-24 rank: NA
Age: 22

The fourth overall pick in the 2020 draft, Raymond has proved up to that pedigree, playing an increasingly important role for Detroit. And he’ll be doing it for a while longer, having signed an eight-year, $64.6 million contract this offseason. — ESPN staff

59. Moritz Seider, D, Detroit Red Wings

2023-24 rank: 78
Age: 23

Detroit handed Seider a rich contract extension after having emerged as their next franchise defenseman in his first three NHL seasons. — Wyshynski

49. Dylan Larkin, C, Detroit Red Wings

2023-24 rank: 54
Age: 28

Larkin tallied three straight 30-goal seasons as the Red Wings’ top center, including 33 goals in 68 games last season. — Wyshynski
