The Detroit Red Wings are slated to make a trip overseas, playing in Sweden as part of the NHL’s Global Series for this upcoming 2023-24 season. They will partake in a couple of games overseas, playing in front of European fans in Sweden. There will be four teams overseas, and the Detroit Red Wings will
Over the past two decades, the Detroit Red Wings have had a top-end defenseman to hold down the back end. Whether it be Nick Lidstrom from 1991-2012 or the present day with the up-and-coming Moritz Seider, they have had that lockdown defenseman. Over the past few drafts, the Wings have added prospects to the organization
It’s been a hectic summer for Steve Yzerman and the Detroit Red Wings. Yzerman understood the organization was prepared to take the next step forward in their rebuild, and the plethora of additions have translated to Detroit’s off-season grade. Following the NHL Draft, Yzerman began the free agency period very busy signing and trading for
The Detroit Red Wings made some changes this off-season. They have added in some pieces and lost others. It’s been a busy off-season for the Red Wings trying to figure things out. While they were able to pick up Alex DeBrincat in a blockbuster trade, he will have to bring some offense of his own.
Every few seasons, there are a handful of prospects that make their way to the NHL and make their mark. It may take a few years or it may happen right away, but there are always young players making the jump. The Detroit Red Wings have not been any different the past few years, with
The Detroit Red Wings are going to have some battles during this year’s training camp at hand. They are going to have some players who are fighting for those last few roster spots. But competition is good and brings out good aspects of some of these players. For the Detroit Red Wings defense core, things
Things have gradually improved since Steve Yzerman returned to the Detroit Red Wings. The term to focus on is ‘gradually.’ I don’t believe things have progressed as quickly as many fans originally thought when the news broke that Yzerman would be taking over the reins of the organization from Ken Holland. The term often used
Detroit — It’s been a crazy, busy summer around the NHL, as was expected. Now, maybe it hasn’t reached the levels that some predicted. The movement has been steady, although maybe not as intense as some expected. But many big names have switched teams — and some still may this summer — as general managers
Three Detroit Red Wings prospects will compete this week at the 2023 World Junior Summer Showcase at USA Hockey Arena in Plymouth beginning Saturday at 1 p.m. Team Sweden, which features defensemen Axel Sandin Pellikka (2023 first rounder) and Anton Johansson (2022 fourth rounder), will open against Team USA Blue. At 4 p.m., South Lyon’s
Former Detroit Red Wings coach Wayne Maxner, who guided the team for parts of two seasons in the early 1980s before Mike Ilitch bought the franchise in 1982, died on Thursday at age 80 in Clinton, Ontario. Maxner coached the Red Wings from 1980-1982 with a career record of 34-68-26 in 129 games, a winning
The Detroit Red Wings’ prospect pool has evolved quite a bit since Steve Yzerman and Kris Draper began calling the shots in their roles as general manager and director of amateur scouting, respectively. Their pool has been considered one of the deepest since the turn of the decade, and that remained true as they approached
By most accounts, Marco Kasper has an NHL-ready game and could be ready for action with the Detroit Red Wings as soon as 2023-24. Despite that, his road to the big leagues anytime soon became quite murky over the last few weeks. General manager Steve Yzerman has not been in the business of clearing the
The Detroit Red Wings are getting ready for the 2023-24 season, and that will require their forward core to make some tough decisions. One of the players that will need to find a home in the 2023-24 Red Wings forward core is Elmer Söderblom. The 6-foot-8, 246-pound winger debuted for the Detroit Red Wings in
It isn’t hyperbolic to state that Moritz Seider is the most important member of the Detroit Red Wings as they enter the next stage of their rebuild. One could argue that Dylan Larkin is a bigger key to success, but he’d be a No. 2 center on most Stanley Cup contenders—implying that if the Red
