from Ted Kulfan of the Detroit News,

Maybe a year from now the Red Wings will be where the Arizona Coyotes are now.

And judging where the Coyotes are, the Wings would probably be happy with that. They’d take it.

The resurgent Coyotes, who’ve been rebuilding, seemingly, for years now, defeated the Wings 3-1 on Saturday.

After many stops and starts the Coyotes might finally have this rebuilding stuff down pat.

The win was Arizona’s sixth in a row. The Coyotes (32-28-5) have won nine of the past 11, and with Saturday’s victory moved into the second wild-card spot in the Western Conference.

He’s a "generational-type" forward who draws comparisons to Patrick Kane and a self-assured teenager who's grounded by his family even though some project him to impact the league by 2020.
