Offense Could Still Be A Problem

Ted Kulfan of the Detroit News with five predictions for the Wings,

The Wings could have problems scoring goals, still.

A lot depend on whether Robby Fabbri becomes an adequate, effective center who can create offense and provide a dangerous second line behind Larkin's line.

Fabbri appeared to be developing chemistry with Filip Zadina during training camp, which is a positive sign.

Zadina, also, is an important figure. If he can show glimpses of the offensive potential he has, it would be a major plus for the Wings.

Ryan, signed as a free agent, was hurt for a portion of training camp, which could limit his availability early in the regular season.

The pieces are there, but too many gnawing questions to assume the Wings are going to erase their offensive woes quickly and positively.

Re-phrase: we do little research, find facts and stats highly overrated and claim little to no preparation. There are 19 readers of A2Y. No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature. Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that.
