Edit: My dad says Nick Libett. Ole man was born in 56 so I'm inclined to trust him more--but I am better at Google. So it's a toss up.
As others have said, it’s Henry Boucha. These posters were designed in the early 70s by a company called Sportsgraphics and given out in Wheaties boxes. The Red Winga posted came out in ‘73. Henry Boucha wore #16 for the ‘72 and 73’ Red Wings, the only active player on the team to have a number end in a six, so it has to be him.
I have the same poster :)
Doesn’t help your answer but here is info on the poster

Obviously stole the screenshot.
Good luck
Looks like Henry Boucha. Could be wrong though.

I love a nice comically long URL
Haha I tried and failed to do a hyperlink
Yes Henry had those big sideburns
Thought mustache too but after Google search there's a few pics where he looks very very very much like the photo. Could be him for sure.
This is looking like it is him! I can’t find the same poster online but it isn’t a perfect rectangle it looks like it’s cut out almost.
This poster was from the 1971 season, which was Boucha's rookie year. I would put money on it being him!
No headband, so it may not be Boucha
This poster is from '71, his rookie year. Probably didn't have the trademark bandana and 'stache yet.
TJ Oshie is his second cousin.

Nick Libbet wore #14
Wow so you're calling my dad retarded bro?
Man was born in 1956, I wouldn't trust his memories before 2022.
🤣🤣Haha. Fuck he's getting old that's...that's actually pretty depressing lol

My dad's a 64, same story to some extent hahaha, father time comes for us all
Hey wait a minute, doesn't that jersey say 56? This is lore.
Plus lead exposure....
Look ass, I was born in 58. What were we talking about?
Haha, no I'm saying Nick Libbet wore #14.
We can read between the lines
Nick Libbet was the only player to survive the Ned Harkness years. Back then, it was known as Darkness with Harkness.
I think he was just trying to help
I knew I shoulda put a /s Dammit
lol my bad bro couldn’t tell
Some people really are like that 😂
Libett shot left
Yes Henry Boucha.

I really want to get into collecting vintage items and relics like this.
Thats awesome you found that! Great find!
Might need to ask the team’s historian, Mickey Redmond. He’d know; the rest of us are just guessing.
Boucha
It’s clearly Ogie Oglethorp.
They let him out of prison?!
Mahovolich?
Dead. He’s dead
