Detroit Red Wings young studs poised to be the new standard for the team
Lucas Raymond has firmly established himself as a key piece of the Detroit Red Wings' future.
Since being drafted 4th overall in 2020, Lucas Raymond has become a fan favourite and an elite performer. Last season, he set career highs in goals, assists, and points, showing significant growth, particularly in the latter part of the season when he stepped up in the absence of Captain Dylan Larkin.
Lucas Raymond's scoring ability has made him a standout. He became the third Red Wing to score 30 goals in a season during Steve Yzerman's rebuild, joining Dylan Larkin and Tyler Bertuzzi. His improved physicality, thanks to weight gain, has made him more effective along the boards and in battles for the puck. Lucas Raymond's speed and stick handling have also enhanced his playmaking, making him a constant threat.
Pairing Raymond with Dylan Larkin and Alex DeBrincat could create a formidable line that causes major headaches for defenders. Lucas Raymond's development into a leader on and off the ice sets a high standard for future Detroit Red Wings prospects.
