The one thing that Detroit has that Philly doesn’t is – they have a center. I do think when I rank the teams, and I say who can do this and where would Hughes want to go, I would say Detroit’s very high on my list.” Friedman said.

I think they’re very legit, and Detroit has centers, and centers that have been playing in the NHL I think Detroit is a team to watch.”
