Burning Questions from NHL.com
Who will emerge in goal?
The answer lies in performance and health. With a trio of Cam Talbot, Ville Husso, and Alex Lyon, the best performer will secure the starting role.
Can the Detroit Red Wings improve defensively?
This question feels repetitive from past seasons. Improving defence remains a critical need.
Can Patrick Kane regain even more of his form?
After 47 points last season post-hip surgery, Patrick Kane's target should be around 50 points. If he stays healthy, his potential remains high.
Gotta do what you gotta do to make the team
Simon Edvinsson's readiness for a full-time NHL role is clear, but as Steve Yzerman emphasized, he must earn it. With limited alternatives, Simon Edvinsson's performance in camp will be crucial.
