In the public sphere, the Detroit Red Wings’ rebuilding strategy under Steve Yzerman is commonly referred to as the Yzerplan. Trust and belief in it is a sign of patriotism among Red Wings fans. Questioning it, though, is akin to challenging anti-communist sentiment in post-war America – downright traitorous. But what exactly is the Yzerplan?
The Detroit Red Wings have acquired Alex DeBrincat from the Ottawa Senators and have signed him to a four-year contract worth an average annual value (AAV) of $7.875 million. The Ottawa Senators received Dominik Kubalik, prospect Donovan Sebrango, a conditional first-round pick in 2024, and the Red Wings’ 2024 fourth-round pick, which completes the long-awaited
The trade market had come to a halt since free agency began a little over a week ago. But the Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings broke the ice late Sunday night (July 9), with the Senators sending Michigan native Alex DeBrincat to the Red Wings in exchange for Dominik Kubalik, prospect Donovan Sebrango, and two draft
This offseason, Detroit Red Wings and Ottawa Senators fans debated hard — and endlessly — over the trade value of Alex DeBrincat. But when a deal officially came through, it was Red Wings fans who appeared to have gotten the last laugh. DeBrincat signed a four-year, $7.875 million extension with Detroit on Sunday night, and
A veteran in the last year of his contract, a mid-range prospect, an extra first-round pick and a reasonable contract extension? That’s a nice bit of work to finish up on a Sunday night by Steve Yzerman to make the Detroit Red Wings look more like a playoff team. Less than a week after he
The Alex DeBrincat saga has reached a conclusion. A trade for the Farmington Hills native and former Ottawa Senators winger will land him with his hometown Detroit Red Wings on a four-year extension worth $7.875 million annually, according to an announcement from the team Sunday night. In return for DeBrincat, the Red Wings sent winger
Steve Yzerman made his biggest move of the summer in addressing the Detroit Red Wings‘ need for scoring power. After weeks of speculation, the Wings completed a trade for Farmington Hills native Alex DeBrincat, a 25-year-old with two 41-goal seasons on his resume. The Wings were in a need of a goal scorer after Yzerman
When he checked into the old Ponchartrain Hotel in Detroit in late January 1994, Kris Draper’s reservation was only for one night. The Red Wings had called him up from their farm team in upstate New York because they needed a fresh body. Draper had joined the organization at the end of June 1993, in
Former Michigan State goalie John Lethemon is staying in the Detroit Red Wings’ organization. The 26-year-old native of Northville signed a one-year, two-way contract on Saturday. Voted the ECHL’s top netminder in 2022-23 with the Toledo Walleye, Lethemon posted an 18-1-3 record with a 1.99 goals-against average, a .930 save percentage and four shutouts in
“Trust the Yzerplan.” It’s the mantra heard throughout Detroit Red Wings fandom since Apr. 19, 2019 when Steve Yzerman was officially named the team’s general manager (GM). “The Captain” was already a franchise legend – his number hangs in the rafters of Little Caesars Arena – and that day he returned to the organization to
As we’re reminded annually, there are no sure things in the MLB draft, whether you’re picking first, 30th or third, as the Detroit Tigers will on Sunday night in Seattle (thanks to a win in December’s first-ever MLB draft lottery). It’s the fifth time the Tigers have had the third overall pick in the draft,
Somebody, at some point, has got to take a “big swing” around these parts, right? And no, I’m not talking about Cam Johnson, a fine basketball player who elected to re-sign with the Brooklyn Nets. The forward is a solid defender and good shooter and won’t come close to moving the needle on his own.

The 2023 NHL Draft started as everyone anticipated, with Connor Bedard being selected first overall, but then it became a little chaotic with unanticipated picks being made. By the end of Day 2, the Detroit Red Wings had walked away with 11 new additions to their prospect pool: two goaltenders, five defensemen, two centers, and two wingers.
Detroit Red Wings general manager (GM) Steve Yzerman was active in free agency for the second year in a row, signing a plethora of players to short and long-term contracts. Surprisingly, even with a defense corps consisting of Moritz Seider, Ben Chiarot, Jake Walman, Olli Maatta, and Gustav Lindstrom, he still felt the need to
In today’s NHL rumors rundown, are the Arizona Coyotes the closest to signing defenseman Matt Dumba? Or, are the San Jose Sharks in the mix as well for the UFA? Meanwhile, is there anything to the chatter that the Edmonton Oilers might be a landing spot for Filip Zadina once his contract is terminated by
Detroit — The Red Wings and Filip Zadina are officially divorced. Zadina cleared unconditional waivers Friday for the purposes of mutual contract termination. For the Wings, that will remove the annual average value (salary cap hit) of $1.825 million for the next two years on Zadina’s contract, as well as the $4.56 million in actual
Alex DeBrincat is on the trade block. The star forward and restricted free agent (RFA) has struggled to reach a long-term agreement with the Ottawa Senators and it’s only a matter of time before he is moved in a blockbuster deal.
