Lucas Raymond

This fall, Lucas Raymond is going to move to North America to make his debut with the Detroit organization.  Unless he has an exceptional camp, Raymond would be best served playing in the AHL with Grand Rapids to start the season.  Raymond should get a taste of the NHL at some point next season, but will most likely have to wait until next year in order to be a full-time NHLer.
