The Detroit Red Wings went into the 2023 NHL Draft Lottery being cautiously optimistic. The NHL Draft Lottery is often where the Red Wings get hurt, with poor results. This year they were slated to get the ninth overall pick in the draft, but they did have a minimal chance to move up to no.1

Pius Suter is one of the Detroit Red Wings’ most notable pending unrestricted free agents (UFA) heading into the 2023 NHL Offseason. Although his offensive production went down this season (24 points in 79 games), he proved to be a valuable part of their roster due to his versatility and strong defensive play. As a
The Minnesota Wild likely want to keep John Klingberg around, but due to the penalties for the Zach Parise and Ryan Suter buyouts, it is not guaranteed that they will be able to afford the 30-year-old.

The Detroit Red Wings brought in David Perron before the 2022-23 season on a two-year contract. So far, this contract looks like one that the Red Wings will be happy about, which is seldom said about a 34-year-old player. The Detroit Red Wings have Perron locked in for the 2023-24 season with a $4.75 million
The 2022 NHL Draft was interesting for the Ottawa Senators. In an attempt to put themselves back in the playoff conversation, the team moved the seventh selection in the draft, alongside that year’s second-round pick and a third-round pick in 2024 to acquire Alex DeBrincat, who was fresh off a 41-goal season for the Chicago
It seems like Detroit Red Wings fans have been waiting for general manager Steve Yzerman to make a big trade for a while now. I’m talking about the kind of trade that puts all other hockey discourse on hold while everyone debates who won the massive deal. To his credit, Yzerman has been active in
James van Riemsdyk‘s time with the Philadelphia Flyers was supposed to end before the 2023 NHL Trade Deadline, but a rumored move ended up not coming to fruition.
