The Red Wings opening night roster is a big question mark right now. But an even bigger question is- What are the Red Wings going to do with Simon Edvinsson? The Detroit Red Wings have a revamped roster this year and therefore, the Red Wings team we see this season will be much different than

After a productive off-season, Red Wings hockey is getting close to starting. And with a re-vamped roster this year, there are a lot of question marks. The Detroit Red Wings are back to work and it is getting a lot of people in the hockey mood. But as we all know, pre-season and training camp

The Vancouver Canucks signed former Detroit Red Wings defenseman Danny DeKeyser to a pro tryout ahead of training camp. DeKeyser, 32, will look to crack Vancouver’s lineup as a sixth or seventh defender after spending ten seasons with the Detroit Red Wings.

Detroit Red Wings prospect William Wallinder is another one of Steve Yzerman’s highly-touted draft selections that may get lost in the shuffle from time to time, but he’s progressing at the perfect pace.

In another solid move by Steve Yzerman, the Detroit Red Wings picked up left wing David Perron in free agency this summer; what can we expect from him? Steve Yzerman wasted no time signing free agent forward David Perron to a two-year contract this offseason, addressing the team’s lack of scoring depth. The team already

Detroit Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman has a difficult decision to make in the coming weeks, and perhaps months; re-sign or trade forward Tyler Bertuzzi? The NHL isn’t like the NFL, where an organization can use the franchise tag to maintain a player if negotiations stall. If the Detroit Red Wings fail to come

Former Detroit Red Wings forward Evgeny Svechnikov is getting another opportunity to stick at the NHL level. This time it’s with the San Jose Sharks. The Sharks signed former Red Wings forward Svechnikov to a one-year, two-way deal worth $750,000. That money decreases to $350,000 if he is assigned to the Sharks AHL affiliate San

Detroit Red Wings star defenseman Moritz Seider is ranked as the league’s eleventh best defender on NHL Network’s latest list. Seider, 21, is coming off an impressive rookie campaign and is already being recognized as one of the NHL’s top defenders.

Hopefully, a new deal can serve as a fresh start for Detroit Red Wings forward Filip Zadina. The Detroit Red Wings used the no. 6 overall pick in the 2018 NHL Entry Level Draft on the 22-year-old forward but haven’t gotten the return they expected on their investment.
