Deep into the NHL off-season, Helene St. James takes a look at individual Red Wings and assesses expectations for the coming season.
Today’s focal point: Forward Darren Helm
LOOKING AT 2014-15 PRODUCTION: 15 goals and 18 assists in 75 games; three assists in seven playoff games.
LOOKING AT MONEY: Salary of $2.5 million, cap hit of $2.125 million in last year of contract. Unrestricted free agent after the season.
LOOKING BACK: Helm, 28, reached career highs with 15 goals and 33 points, but equally satisfying for the Wings, Helm missed only seven games after three seasons of spending significant time injured.
