Where the Wings have a base to build around toward the future, it’s among the forward position.
The Larkin line; recent draft picks Filip Zadina, Evgeny Svechnikov, Michael Rasmussen and Joe Veleno; trade acquisition Robby Fabbri; and veterans such as Luke Glendening and Darren Helm give the Wings a base.
Although more is needed, given the lack of overall offense firepower.
