Traverse City — Lucas Raymond had an excellent rookie season.
Now, how is Raymond going to follow up on it?
After scoring 23 goals and totaling 57 points — and finishing fourth in the Calder Trophy (rookie of the year) voting that was won by teammate Moritz Seider — Raymond isn't paying attention to the expectations or pressure from the outside.
Raymond is pushing himself to better last season's statistics.
"The most pressure I got is from myself to get better," Raymond said. "(I) focus on that as much as possible and block the other things out.
