Training camp/preseason can be quite the drag. We all just want the regular season to start since the results actually matter. Nevertheless, it’s all part of the process. We’re forced into arguments of who the 7th defensemen should be, overreact to PTO signings, and so on and so forth. But in the end, this stuff…
Could it be? Could Steve Yzerman finally be coming home?! Well, that fantasy became a little more real on Tuesday as Yzerman shocked the hockey world by stepping down as general manager of the Tampa Bay Lightning.
The Red Wings announced Sunday morning they’ve re-sign forward Matt Puempel to a two-year contract. Specifics on the new deal have yet to be released.
The Red Wings’ prospects were back in action Saturday night, taking on the Dallas Stars in their second game of the Traverse City prospects tournament.

Hockey is back! (sorta) The first game of the prospect tournament in Traverse City got underway Friday night with Detroit’s youngsters taking on the Minnesota Wild’s farm system. Patrick Rybar got the start and we were off and running.
Continuing with my preliminary rankings for the 2019 NHL Draft, today we look at rankings 16-31. If you missed rankings 1-15, you can read that here. Not only will I be going over the second half of the list, but I will also include a list of honorable mentions (in no particular order).
Detroit sports are a hold bunch of meh right now, and that might be putting it nicely. The Red Wings might be the best bet for optimism. On Wednesday afternoon The Athletic released their top-25 under 25 Detroit athletes, as voted on by their staff. The Red Wings were very much prevalent on the list, tying the…
The initial feeling with the 2019 NHL entry draft is that it’s almost polar opposites with the 2018 NHL entry draft. It is a very deep center draft, with a few standouts on defense, but not in abundance like 2018 had. The WHL is loaded as well, while the 2018 class from Western Canada was…
Maybe the most important moment of the foreseeable future for the Red Wings – Detroit has come to terms with restricted free-agent Dylan Larkin on a long-term deal. Larkin’s new contract locks him up for the next five years for $30.5 million. The AAV will come in at $6.1 million. They only buy one year…
The annual prospects tournament in Traverse City is almost upon us!

This Red Wings power-play over the last two years has been nothing short of terrible. You know your man-advantage is bad when Steve Ott is used to give it a spark. After posting a power-play percentage of 15.08% in 2016-17 – The team’s worst in over thirty years – head coach Jeff Blashill made it…
Despite much speculation of Detroit’s desire to grab a few defensemen with their first four picks, it took until the last pick at 36th overall when a blue-liner was selected.
