Just over a week after acquiring defenseman Jeff Petry from the Pittsburgh Penguins in the Erik Karlsson deal, the Montreal Canadiens traded Petry to the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday, according to TSN. The Canadiens will retain half of Petry’s salary on his contract and receive defenseman Gustav Lindstrom and a conditional fourth-round pick in […]

The Detroit Red Wings are still working through their rebuild despite a flurry of activity this summer. General manager Steve Yzerman made many moves this offseason to try and increase the quality of the Red Wings roster. However, there are still avenues for younger players to grab a roster spot ahead of the new season. […]

The Detroit Red Wings set out to overhaul their roster in NHL Free Agency, and they’ve done just that. Detroit looks a lot different heading into the 2023-24 season than it did at the end of this past campaign. However, questions about the Red Wings roster still remain. The Red Wings made a flurry of […]

The Detroit Red Wings finally added goal-scorer Alex DeBrincat in a trade with the Ottawa Senators on Sunday night.

However, he credited the team’s […]

It’s finally over. After weeks of rumors, speculation, and public back and forth, Alex DeBrincat has finally been traded. DeBrincat is headed to his home state of Michigan for the next four years. And his former team has to hope this trade works out after DeBrincat decided against re-signing long-term. Let’s take a look at […]

The Detroit Red Wings will reportedly be trading for Alex DeBrincat from the Ottawa Senators, according to Elliotte Friedman of SportsNet. Alex DeBrincat has reportedly agreed to an extension with the Red Wings in the four-year, $7.875 average annual value range, per David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period. The Red Wings will be receiving DeBrincat. […]

Last summer, Detroit Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman looked to accelerate the team’s rebuild, signing three veterans in Andrew Copp, Ben Chiarot and David Perron. The move didn’t exactly work out for the team, as they missed the postseason for the seventh straight year and really faded down the stretch. Perron had a decent […]

The Detroit Red Wings placed forward Filip Zadina on waivers on Monday. Detroit general manager Steve Yzerman explained to the media that Zadina had requested a trade from the team. And after no trade materialized, the Red Wings made him available to the other 31 teams in the league essentially for free. However, that move […]

The Detroit Red Wings spent a ton of money last summer to make their roster more competitive. And to an extent, it worked. Detroit achieved their first 80-point season since 2015-16, which is also the last time they made the Stanley Cup Playoffs. This summer, Detroit once again went wild in the open market. Red […]

After a few disappointing seasons in the Detroit Red Wings system, the team placed forward Filip Zadina on waivers on Monday, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported. Zadina was drafted with the sixth-overall pick in the 2018 NHL Draft, and there were high expectations for the young Czech native in Michigan. He simply failed to live up […]

The Detroit Red Wings were busy on the first day of NHL free agency. They signed a number of players, such as Shayne Gostisbehere, James Reimer, and Justin Holl.

The Detroit Red Wings and goaltender James Reimer have agreed to a one-year, $1.5 million deal, per Sportsnet. Reimer spent the last two seasons with the San Jose Sharks. In 2022, he played 43 games and had a 12-21-8 record. The Red Wings need to find goal-scorers this offseason, but Reimer is a cheap option […]

The Detroit Red Wings are one of the few teams in the National Hockey League right now with legitimate cap space. In fact, only one team in the entire league has more available space than them. Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman has around $30.2 million to work with this summer. From the looks of […]

The Philadelphia Flyers haven’t exactly been shy about the fact that James van Riemsdyk was not long for Philly. Former GM Chuck Fletcher shopped the veteran winger around the league at the NHL Trade Deadline. And he nearly dealt van Riemsdyk before the trade fell apart at the 11th hour. Now, the 34-year-old hits the […]

In the second salary cap dump of the day on Thursday, the Edmonton Oilers shipped young forwards Kailer Yamamoto and Klim Kostin east to the Detroit Red Wings in exchange for future considerations, the teams announced. Both Yamamoto and Kostin have become expendable to the Oilers after their offense dried up in 2022-23. The 24-year-old […]

This year’s NHL Draft class is incredibly deep. As such, there are players who, in other years, would go higher than they will in 2023. Zach Benson is one of those players who might just fall due to the talent around him. Benson is far from a bad player in his own right. In fact, […]

The 2023 NHL Draft is not necessarily thin on defense. Rather there just isn’t much in the way of high-end blueline talent to be had outside of David Reinbacher and Axel Sandin Pellikka. However, there is one name rising through the draft that fans should keep their eyes on. Swedish blueliner Tom Willander has emerged […]

At last year’s NHL Draft, Slovakian hockey won the day. Juraj Slafkovsky went first overall to the Montreal Canadiens. And the New Jersey Devils followed that up by selecting Simon Nemec. It was the first time two Slovkain players went 1-2 in NHL Draft history. This year, there’s another top prospect from Slovakia. Dalibor Dvorsky […]

At last year’s NHL Draft, we saw a few elite defensemen available for the taking. The New Jersey Devils selected Simon Nemec second overall. And the Columbus Blue Jackets selected David Jiricek with the sixth pick. It seemed this year, however, there wouldn’t be that elite blueliner in this class. But that perception began to […]

The 2023 NHL Draft is one week away, and there is a lot of intrigue around this class. This class is considered one of the deepest in recent memory with talent up and down the board.

Edmonton Oilers forward Kailer Yamamoto hasn’t had the greatest start to his career. The 24-year-old entered the NHL as a first-round pick in 2017, and there was a bit of buzz around him for a moment. In 2021-22, he provided reason for encouragement. He scored a career-high 20 goals that season. Furthermore, he doubled his […]
