The top-six forwards for the Detroit Red Wings are somehow terrifying!
Welcome to the real offseason, where everything is quiet, and we all get bored.
While there's not much Red Wings news, an NHL.com feature on 2024 first-round pick Michael Brandsegg-Nygård is worth reading.
It highlights his relationship with Axel Sandin-Pellikka and includes quotes from GM Steve Yzerman:
"I think he plays a pretty responsible game for a young guy. When we all played junior, we worried about scoring. We didn't check. He's just got a really well-rounded game to him. I just think he's a guy who could play in all situations. He can play either wing, a lot of different spots on the power play.»
Former Red Wing Anders Myrvold also shared some perspective on the newest top prospect.
Now, let's discuss Detroit's perfect top-six forwards for next season. Here's one possible lineup:
Kane-Larkin-Raymond
Tarasenko-Compher-DeBrincat
It's a pretty solid top six, and Nate Danielson might also get a look at the second-line center in camp. This second-line center position will be pivotal to the team's success, a topic we'll have plenty of time to discuss over the next month.
