It’s common for Detroit Red Wings fans to anoint forward Dylan Larkin the next captain of the Detroit Red Wings.
And I’ll say this article isn’t who should be the captain of the Red Wings, it’s who is the best player in Detroit.
I think that player is Anthony Mantha and you won’t be able to change my mind.
When he returned to the lineup on Feb. 11 against the Buffalo Sabres, there wasn’t any rust. He looked like the best player on the team and had two assists.
After the game he said he wanted to average a point a game the remainder of the season and I thought he was crazy.
