Quick Hits: The “Optimistic” Edition

Nothing earth-shattering here. I don’t agree on everything, but nothing seems wrong enough for me to specifically point it out.

The Detroit Red Wings need help everywhere. But at least they have a core group of young to semi-young forwards with skill and scoring ability.

Defense is a bigger issue. It was a patchwork unit this season due to ineffectiveness and injuries.

It figures to be better in 2020-21, but with few proven NHL top-four defenders and no elite anchor, it remains the primary area of concern.

Speaking of adding on defense, I had forgotten just how good a deal this was in terms of low-risk, high-reward.
