Today we take a look at our supporting cast. This group covers a broad range of expectations from “fill nets with pucks” to “don’t score on our own net” to “none” and have also spent significant time playing outside Detroit.
For the most part, I will only be considering time spent playing for the Red Wings and grading how well a player fulfilled expectations, with some weight dragging down players who had low expectations because they weren’t anything great last year.
Disclaimer: We aren’t all using the same method, so don’t equate my grades with the other player grade articles.
