Description
As a Leafs fan, this is a roster that will be fun to play with as I have absolutely zero affiliation or emotional connection to any of the players. So let's go!
Firstly, I think the Red Wings big move this off-season will be to sign Kyle Okposo. No, I don't believe he is a superstar, and yes, I think they will regret that contract late on, but I think overall, he will be a good fit in Detroit's system.
Also, I think due to the depth at wing, Detroit will trade Tomas Jurco. He under-performed last year, and even though he is young, Detroit could fetch a decent return. I figured the Devils would be a good fit because I feel like they are a team that will be trying to get younger, and Jurco could potentially offer them a bit more offence. I have Josh Jacobs coming back, a 2nd round pick in 2014 who is from Michigan and played for Mich. State. Decent puck moving defenceman.
In regards to the lineup, I have Athanasiou playing 2nd line center. I would normally have a player like him on the third line, especially being so inexperienced, but since the Wings don't have any better options (Sheahan, Glendening), I think AA will mould into being a very solid center behind Larkin.
Overall, decent team for the Red Wings. I think their defense is a bit weak, and there isn't much depth either. A couple injuries and the Red Wings might very well be screwed. I think if the Red Wings were smart, they would pick up a couple depth guys in free agency.
Anyways, comment below and let me know your thoughts.
