The preseason hasn’t even started, but Bleacher Report’s Lyle Fitzsimmons already issues a set of power rankings this morning:
23. Detroit Red Wings
The arrival of goalie John Gibson via trade with Anaheim creates a sound tandem alongside Cam Talbot and gives GM Steve Yzerman some much needed hope after nine years below the playoff cutline. “Overall, I think we’re a little bit better,” he said. “How many points does that translate to in the season? We’re going to find out.”
Continued; the Wings will find themselves ranked behind Montreal and Ottawa until the team leapfrogs those organizations in the standings.
