Analysis

Lucas Raymond was drafted by Steve Yzerman with the hope that he could one day play in Detroit’s top-six forwards. He recently signed his entry-level contract with Detroit.  It is expected that he makes his North American debut in Grand Rapids next season.  With a strong start, Raymond could easily slide into Detroit’s lineup before the end of the year.
