Line Combos: 2023-2024 Red Wings

[The Zermanator]

Saw this posted in the Matthew Wood thread on the prospects board. There were 129 players to score 20 or more goals this year. That really caught my eye as the Wings only have 3

The average would be about 4 so it's not as bad as it seems. We just need that 4th 20+ goal scorer to also be a 30 or 40+ goal scorer (ideally the latter), we're ok on depth. Connor or Debrincat would be good options.

Someone please help me here. I've been watching all the playoff games and been looking at free agents and can't come up realistic lineup that can compete with what I have been seeing. I know there has to be hope. Someone show me the light!

Because all the UFAs this summer are trash and/or depth that's going to be ridiculously overpaid because they're the best of a bad bunch.

Trade for talent or hold pat.

Stevie is that you? If so you might recognize me, I was in the upper bowl of the Joe in the 2002 playoff run. I shouted your name at 3:21 in the first period of game 1 against St Louis.
