The Grind Line: Predicting The Red Wings’ 2021-22 Top Lines

What’s The Grind Line? Apart from the once-famous line of Kris Draper, Kirk Maltby, and either Joe Kocur or Darren McCarty, The Grind Line is also The Hockey Writers’ weekly column about the Detroit Red Wings. This week, Devin Little, Patrick Brown, Kyle Knopp, and Jeff Middleton are the muckers who make up THW’s forechecking unit and sound off on Red Wings topics.

It’s almost here! The preseason has wrapped up, teams have made their final roster decisions, and the NHL season will be kicking off tonight. That got us thinking — with so many different line possibilities this season, what do the ideal top lines look like this season for the Detroit Red Wings?
