Breaking down Lucas Raymond's performance at the World Championships
The Detroit Red Wings had impressive showcases for their talent pool as Lucas Raymond dazzled the hockey world at the IIFH world championships.
Lucas Raymond represented team Sweden during the tournament and playing at an almost point per game pace. During 10 total games, Raymond tallied 4 goals and 9 assists, helping team Sweden land a respectable bronze medal. Despite not coming out on top, there are some significant positive takeaways from his game Raymond should be feeling confident about.
Lucas Raymond is now a free agent and all eyes are on general manager Steve Yzerman to ink a deal with the Swedish star. Lucas Raymond had a breakout year with the wings last season, tallying 72 points in 82 games and is poised to have another great campaign next NHL season. His performance at the IIHF World Championships surely increases his chances in a block buster deal which will see Raymond earn a long-term multi-million dollar contract. Will Steve Yzerman re-sign Ramond? The Detroit faithful would surely love to see him back next year.
