For the most part, the dust seems to have settled. The rinks are empty, the beaches are full, and the prices for a tee

The annual Traverse City prospects tournament for the Detroit Red Wings has been announce to start September 14th. This year’s tournament will include the Red Wings, Columbus Blue Jackets, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Dallas Stars, down a team from last year’s tournament. This year’s tournament is expected to be packed with top-end prospects from all

One of the areas that needed to be addressed by the Detroit Red Wings this off-season was finding a solid backup goaltender. Ville Husso’s first season with the Wings was a good one overall, but when Husso needed a night off, the game usually didn’t end well. Husso also played a lot of games last

The Detroit Red Wings drafted their top goaltending prospect, Sebastian Cossa, with the No. 15 overall pick in the 2021 NHL Entry Level Draft. In fact, general manager Steve Yzerman traded up to assure them of his services. When the trade was announced, many expected (myself included) that the goaltending-needy Red Wings were eying Jesper

Daniel Sprong may prove to be one of those bargain free-agent additions for the Detroit Red Wings that we’ve quickly grown accustomed to since Steve Yzerman took over the reins of the organization. Sprong, 26, a product of the Netherlands, enjoyed a breakout season last year with the Seattle Kraken, where he totaled 46 points,

Detroit Red Wings prospect Noah Dower Nilsson will be sidelined for an extended period of time following shoulder surgery, as reported initially by Henrik Leman of Rackapucker.com.

The Detroit Red Wings have made some signings during the summer that will beef up their defense core moving forward. One of those moves was to sign defender Justin Holl to a three-year, $10.2 million contract to join the Red Wings’ defense core. Holl comes to Detroit from the Maple Leafs organization, having spent the

I know it sounds unrealistic, but it already seems like a make-or-break year for Detroit Red Wings forward Joe Veleno. Veleno, 23, has become a regular in Detroit’s lineup over the past two seasons, and while he’s shown improvement in some areas of his game from year-to-year, 2023-24 is shaping up to be a crucial

If you’re one of the Detroit Red Wings fans disappointed by Steve Yzerman’s addition of J.T. Compher, read on. You just might be sleeping on what the forward brings to the lineup. Even the most patient fans of the Red Wings entered this offseason with at least some level of elevated expectations. The so-called Yzerplan has

It is not the most exciting notion, but the Detroit Red Wings should consider circling back to Pius Suter. I often find myself with wavering opinions regarding Detroit’s former versatile forward. I feel like Michael Scott from the show ‘The Office’ when he’s describing to Jan what it is like to get a vasectomy and

In a few years, one might look back and say, “Do you remember when Kailer Yamamoto was a Detroit Red Wings forward?” it might end up being a great trivia question.

When the Detroit Red Wings entered all of their picks in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft, nearly all of the attention, and rightfully so, went towards first-round pick Marco Kasper. However, the player with the highest offensive upside was taken in the second round. Dmitri Buchelnikov, who is a speedy Russian winger that has success
