from Dom Luszczyszyn of The Athletic,
In a tough division with three elite teams at the top, there just isn’t much room for a team of Detroit’s calibre and it’s difficult to see how the Red Wings can pull off the playoff run they’re hoping for. Kudos on the (unsurprising) optimism, but they’ll need a lot of luck on their side to pull it off.
What the Red Wings will also need is someone on the team to somehow emerge as a superstar....
Detroit has just a single player worth over two wins in value, and just barely at that.
