Detroit is a rebuilding team coming off a tough finish last year. I would estimate that there are 2 goals. First is a better showing this season. I think the ceiling would be a postseason berth, but their division will be tough. Second is growth and planning for the future. The team saw a lot of turnover on the top forward line, and we are likely going to see some more next year. It will be important to fill out future gaps in the roster with young talent. With that in mind, here are some players to look out for this season.
C Trevor Lahey – The newly crowned captain of the Falcons has started out hot with 5 points in 4 games. Centering the top line and wearing the C are huge responsibilities, so much of the team’s success will be determined by the American. LD Gavin Harrison – A rookie defenseman who is immediately impacting Detroit’s blueline. Gavin shows a lot of promise on a team always looking for someone to step up. LW Kenny Omega – This winger will be looking to add some secondary scoring for a Detroit team who has taken on a more defensive identity this year. How much production can the Falcons get from their rookies this year? |
