from Carlos Monarrez of the Detroit Free Press,

Four of six Freep writers agreed the Wings would be our city’s next champions.

Wings beat writer Helene St. James noted Dylan Larkin being at the front of a solid rebuilding core, with another high-end draft pick expected this summer....

Readers agreed with the four of us. Early online voting at Freep.com also had the Wings winning in a landslide....

They’re a young team that has shown resilience this season and everything about that franchise exists to remind its players and its employees of its recent and historic championship pedigree. If Yzerman returns, hopefully by this summer, to serve as general manager or some equivalent, that would be the piece that would put the Wings over the top.
