I’ve come to the decision that I’m stepping away as of February 28th. It’s been an incredible run at the helm of this site and I’m extremely proud of the community we’ve built together, but the recent business decision by the suits who own the framework on which we’ve been built has left it very

So DetHockeyNow has a report based on a BostonHockeynow report that the Bruins are interested in Larkin, but I’m not going to link to it because I’d rather warn people that this is a self-feeding rumor machine and it’s garbage. The guy who wrote the initial speculation has just about zero respect among other Boston
This weekend marks Dylan Larkin’s third appearance representing the Detroit Red Wings at the All-Star Game. It shouldn’t be his last one. Larkin is in the final year of a five-year contract signed before the 2018-19 season, with unrestricted free agency on the horizon. It’s the type of situation that begets uncertainty as the trade
With the All-Star Break upon the Detroit Red Wings and its fanbase, it’s a good time to circle back to some of the team’s up-and-coming stars. The Athletic($$) writer Max Bultman recently took a look into Marco Kasper, the eighth overall pick in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft. In Bultman’s piece, he talks about his trip

There has been lots of talk about the Detroit Red Wings’ interest in Bo Horvat ever since Rick Dhaliwal listed Detroit as a team to watch in trade talks. Dhaliwal is one of the most well-connected insiders in Vancouver (if not the most connected), so I believed him, though it’s strange to hear industry rumors
The New York Islanders pulled off a massive trade deadline deal well ahead of this year’s NHL Trade Deadline. A team that was rumored to be intrigued by the possibility of adding Bo Horvat, the Islanders weren’t the favorites to land him and there are some questions about their move to do so, especially considering
April 19, 2019. That was the day the clouds over the Red Wings fandom finally cleared for good; a day that signaled nothing but smooth sailing from then on out. It was the day Stevie Y came home. The hopelessness from the waning twilight of the Wings’ dynasty was immediately replaced with optimism. The Wings’
G Jussi Olkinuora #LGRW has been placed on unconditional waivers for purpose of contract termination — CapFriendly (@CapFriendly) January 31, 2023 Not much to say here. He was signed with the expectation that he’d be given a chance to shine and compete in the North American game and he went 6-8-0 in Grand Rapids with
Detroit Red Wings forward Jonatan Berggren has started to settle into the NHL and acclimate to the caliber of play he has to sustain to stick around. Frankly, he’s been impressive for the Red Wings and started to show some intriguing things with his play. The Detroit Red Wings must be happy with how things
Detroit — They’re ahead of where they were. But they aren’t where they need to be. So, that’ll be the challenge for the Red Wings coming out of the All-Star break, trying to bridge that gap between the fringes of the playoff chase and legitimate contention. And this will remain the dilemma for general manager
The 2023 NHL Trade Deadline is just a little over a month away, and that means that every team across the league is taking stock of what they have, what they need, and how they can go about positioning themselves for success for the rest of this season and beyond. For some teams, this means
Bobby Hull is remembered as a legendary goal scorer, but there was one Detroit Red Wings player — and not one of the famous ones — who took great delight in thwarting him. Hull, who died Monday at 84 years old, was one of the most renown and feared scorers in the NHL in the 1960s. Hull,
Well, forward Bo Horvat is on the move as the Vancouver Canucks sent the star center to the New York Islanders in exchange for forward Anthony Beauvillier, prospect Aatu Raty and a conditional first-round pick in 2023. The 2023 pick is top-12 protected, according to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman. The Canucks will also retain 25% of Horvat’s contract. Vancouver Canucks General Manager
Detroit — Coach Derek Lalonde is back in Florida chauffeuring his kids to hockey practices. Dylan Larkin is set to go the All-Star Game later this week. And a vast majority of Red Wings have flown to warmer climates. Half of the NHL continues to play, while the other half (the Wings’ included) are on
It’s said that timing is everything, and that’s certainly the case for Detroit Red Wings forwards Dylan Larkin and Tyler Bertuzzi as they await their next contracts. The two forwards are scheduled to become unrestricted free agents (UFAs) this summer. Larkin and Bertuzzi’s agents have been hard at work negotiating new contracts with Steve Yzerman
When you think of prospect development you may think of the American Hockey League (AHL), Ontario Hockey League, or maybe even the Swedish Hockey League. However, college hockey is also a great development step for players yearning for a professional career someday. I, for one, absolutely love college hockey. The atmosphere, the developing talent, and
In today’s NHL rumors rundown, the Anaheim Ducks have a couple of pieces they are trying to move. Meanwhile, the New Jersey Devils have a potential backup plan for Timo Meier.

Jesse Puljujarvi has been in the rumor mill for a long time now, but the Edmonton Oilers have yet to trade the 2016 fourth-overall pick. Yet, with the trade deadline now roughly a month away, there seems to be a legitimate chance that this could change. The Oilers are looking to be major buyers at
