## Key points

- Detroit are 7-8-3 despite major disruption.
- The article sees value in their 11/1 play-off odds.
- McLellan is offered at 150/1 for the Jack Adams Award.

## Summary

Detroit have begun the NHL season amid turmoil, with captain Dylan Larkin seeking a trade and sitting out, while defenceman Simon Edvinsson remains unsigned. Despite a three-game losing streak, the Red Wings are still in contention for a play-off place, and the article argues that their odds undervalue their chances.

Detroit have a 7-8-3 record, a minus-seven goal difference and sit three points from both a play-off spot and last place in the Eastern Conference. Their defence has been relatively strong: they rank 11th in goals-against average, second in high-danger chances allowed and sixth in expected goals against. The suggested bets are Detroit to make the play-offs at 11/1 and coach Todd McLellan to win the Jack Adams Award at 150/1.
