Coming across an interesting read in the Detroit Free Press a few days back, Helene St. James speculated that Detroit's off-season acquisitions of Stephen Weiss and Daniel Alfredsson stand to benefit underachieving winger Johan Franzen the most. With the new influx of veteran scoring forwards on the Wing's roster, Coach Babcock can keep Datsyuk and Zetterberg together on the no.1 line, while the other three can form a formidable second offensive unit. Despite his tremendous upside, Franzen has yet to reach the 60 point mark in any season during his career, but perhaps this will be his best opportunity to do so. I think all three forwards will have a legitimate shot at cracking the 60-point barrier in 13/14, but if I had to choose one guy, I am going with Mr. Alfredsson. Reasons being, his motivation to earn his first Stanley Cup will help him turn the clock a few years back, while avoiding any serious injury. Also, he is a right-hand shot, which the Detroit power-play is in desperate need of. He can man the point, he could play along the boards.. You could be rest assured Coach Babcock will utilize him plenty alongside Datsyuk and Zetterberg on the top power-play unit. We have him scoring 58 points, but he does have 70-pt. upside.
