Deep into the NHL off-season, HeleneSt. James takes a look at individual Red Wings and assesses expectations for the upcoming season.
Today’s focal point: Forward Johan Franzen
Looking at 2014-15 production: Seven goals, 15 assists, 22 points in 33 games.
LOOKING AT MONEY: Signed through 2019-20 with an annual salary-cap hit of $3.95 million.
LOOKING BACK: Franzen, 35, was producing at a good clip when he was blindsided during a Jan. 6 game at Edmonton. The hit didn’t look that bad initially, but Franzen ended up being sidelined by a concussion so severe he couldn’t tolerate daylight for a time.
