Left Wingers

The left wing position remains the same as it has been for several months.  The Red Wings have signed all of their RFA’s so the left wingers appear to be set.

Tyler Bertuzzi returns on the top line after back surgery.  Robby Fabbri will play with his former Guelph teammate (Suter) on the second line.  Vladislav Namestnikov will play with Rasmussen on the third line.  Both Namestnikov and Rasmussen can play center or left wing so it’s nice to have versatility on this line.  After signing a two year extension, Adam Erne is set to start at either wing in the bottom six.  I have him on left wing on the fourth line to start the season.

Opening Night Left Wingers: Tyler Bertuzzi, Robby Fabbri, Vladislav Namestnikov & Adam Erne
