Much-maligned Specialty Teams

30 April 2013 - 06:07 PM

Although it's not what we're used to, the Wings finished a respectable 15th on the PP and 12th on the SH, scoring 34 PP goals and allowing 30.

18 current regulars (I may have missed someone) playing in the NHL drafted by the Wings. I don't think too many teams can boast as many
If you add the undrafted free agents who signed their first NHL contacts with the Wings that they have - Brunner, Dekeyser and Lashoff, it looks like a considerably better, more balanced and younger team than the one the Wings are icing.
All this is especially impressive considering that the Wings have had the least amount of first rounders in the years that these guys were drafted and they averaged the lowest drafting position during the years that these guys were drafted.
