The Detroit Red Wings signed Antti Tuomisto to an entry-level contract in March. The 6-foot-6, 205-pound Finnish defender has taken his time, but his development path was simply different than others. The 22-year-old was a second-round pick of the Detroit Red Wings from the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, being selected with the 35th pick overall.
Matt Dumba is one of the top pending unrestricted free agent (UFA) defensemen set to hit the open market. As a result, he should garner plenty of interest this offseason.

The Detroit Red Wings were smart, and earlier this season, they locked Jake Walman up to a three-year contract extension.

While they are an improved team from last year, there is still a lot of ground to make up before being called a contender. Related: How Much Did the Detroit Red Wings Improve in 2022-23? Looking
Detroit — There’s been much talk since the regular season ended about how the Red Wings need to be a tougher team to play against. One young player who feels he can do more in that area, along with other parts of the game, is Joe Veleno. The Wings’ 2018 first-round draft pick (30th overall)
It has become a mantra of sorts for Red Wings fans that “Detroit doesn’t win draft lotteries”.
