The Detroit Red Wings are one of the NHL’s most consistent teams. Year in & year out, the Detroit Red Wings are Stanley Cup contenders. 2015-16 was no different as the Wings once again made the playoffs. This season, the Red Wings return leading scorer and team captain, Henrik Zetterberg. Wings fans love their young phenom, Dylan Larkin. Entering season number two, Larkin will need to replace some of the scoring lost with the departure of NHL legend, Pavel Datsyuk. The Red Wings will also count on off-season acquisitions Frans Neilson and Tomas Vanek to help ease that burden. While 2016-17 may be considered a transitional year, expect the Red Wings once again to contend for a playoff spot. Jonathan Ericsson, Mike Green and Brendan Smith form a strong core on defense while the goaltending duties project to be split evenly by Jimmy Howard and Petr Mrazek.
