The NHL is in its quieter days, offering a fine opportunity to take a look at individual Red Wings and assess expectations for the coming season.
F Riley Sheahan
Looking at 2015-16: 14 goals, 11 assists, minus-eight in 81 games. In playoffs, one assist in five games.
Looking at money: Signed through 2017-18 at an annual average value of $2.075 million.
Looking back: Sheahan was part of the mid-20s Wings group that hugely disappointed last season. He righted himself in the last month, looking more like the 6-foot-3, 222-pound impact player he can be, and pumping ib five goals in nine games to reach a career high of 14.
