Detroit Red Wings' top line of Lucas Raymond, Dylan Larkin and Tyler Bertuzzi deserves all A's for their effort at the start of this season

Nobody was driving around the Detroit area last season with a bumper sticker that read: My favorite Red Wing is on the honor roll. Not many Detroit Red Wings deserved good grades for last season’s 19-27-10 record. Maybe the goalies, Jonathan Bernier and Thomas Greiss, deserved a B for their stellar effort.

Adam Erne probably earned a B or B+ for taking his game to a higher level. Jakub Vrana was an A- player for the last marking period.

But mostly C work was done in Detroit last season. However, the grades are much improved this season, at least for the start of the season.
