Detroit — There is a path for forward Lucas Raymond to make the Red Wings roster.
But for it to happen, Raymond is going to have to make a jaw-dropping impact in the two-week series of games.
It can be done. Dylan Larkin did it in 2015 to make the Wings' roster, instead of apprenticing in Grand Rapids.
Raymond, the Wings' 2020 first-round draft pick (fourth overall), is going to have to be as dynamic.
“You should walk out of (the exhibition) games and feel like he was one of the better players on the ice,” said coach Jeff Blashill, of what Raymond has to do to be with the Wings opening night.
