Team: 2021-22 Detroit Red Wings

Initial Creation Date: Aug. 10, 2021

Published: Aug. 10, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

If Ned gets hot and Seider can step in and be a true #1 D man right away, this team could surprise some people. The problem is I don’t think they have a good enough forward group to compete with the powerhouses of the Atlantic.

I'm all for optimism but id be shocked if they even finished higher than 7th in the division.

I LOVE the direction this team is heading and I'm super pumped to watch them this season... With that said, I still expect them to finish no better than 18th overall and still not quite to the playoffs. Obviously, I hope they surprise us, but I just don't think being a playoff team this season is very realistic.
