By the Numbers: Adam Erne

By the Numbers will highlight the Red Wings' on-ice accomplishments in the 2019-20 season. Each week during the offseason, By the Numbers will profile a different player on the team, focusing on his statistical highs. This week we focus on forward Adam Erne.

It was a little over a year ago that the Red Wings traded their fourth-round pick in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft to the Tampa Bay Lightning for forward Adam Erne, one of Steve Yzerman's first trades as general manager.
Because the Lightning had so many good, young forwards ahead of Erne, the thought was he could have more of an opportunity in Detroit on a rebuilding team.
Erne is still young, having just turned 25 on April 20, so he can still develop into the player the Lightning envisioned when they took him with their second-round pick, 33td overall in the 2013 draft.
It was a pivotal year for Erne, not just because he changed teams, he also became a father when his daughter, Riley, was born on Jan. 7.

In July, Erne and his wife, Elodie, announced that Riley will become a big sister this coming January as they are expecting a baby boy.

Erne joins Tyler Bertuzzi, Anthony Mantha, Dmytro Timashov, Brendan Perlini and Christoffer Ehn as Detroit's unrestricted free agent forwards this offseason. Robby Fabbri signed a two-year extension on Aug. 24.
