I've just been box score watching the Red Wings the past several years. Are we actually going to be good this year?

We were good last season. They should be better. They improved each season the past few now the next step. Finally have a true goal scorer in Debrincat, some nice added depth weather they get to the playoffs or not its enjoyable.
