Alex DeBrincat's the Detroit Red Wings biggest enigma in the preseason because we don't know where he could end up. Is he a first-liner with Lucas Raymond and Dylan Larkin? Or, do you put DeBrincat on the second line to maximize chemistry with Patrick Kane?
Or, do you roll with a third option, and split DeBrincat between the first and second lines? No matter what the Wings do with DeBrincat, expect an even better player when the puck drops to kick off the regular season next month.
And the fact DeBrincat could float between different lines more than any other player on the Wings, it gives them a major advantage.
