Which Red Wings Could We See On Different Teams After the Trade Deadline?

The Red Wings have been a much-improved team compared to the previous five seasons as they currently sit fifth in the Atlantic Division with a 23-23-6 record and are still in the Eastern Conference Wildcard hunt at the end of February. It would be justifiable if Red Wings General Manager, Steve Yzerman, decided not to […]

Is It Time To Worry About Filip Hronek?

Since making his debut October 4th during the 2018-19 season, Filip Hronek has, for the most part, been asked to be the Red Wings’ #1 defenseman in every situation up until this season.

Where Will Jakub Vrana Fit Into the Red Wings Lineup?

As soon as Jakub Vrana joined the Red Wings last season, he immediately became the best offensive play-driver on the team.

There has been a handful of players who have pulled their weight, others not so much. The team just played their 40th game on Monday in […]

Breaking News: Nicklas Lidstrom Named VP of Hockey Operations

It seemed like a foregone conclusion that it wasn’t a matter of if Nicklas Lidstrom would come back to Detroit, but when. Tuesday afternoon, the Red Wings announced that former Red Wings’ captain and Hall of Fame defenseman Nicklas Lidstrom was hired as the Vice President of Hockey Operations. This continues the “Yzerplan” in revamping […]

What Should The Red Wings Do About Filip Zadina?

It seems like every other week this season that there is a new discourse on the play of Filip Zadina. The newest comes in response to Jeff Blashill scratching the 2018 6th overall pick Tuesday versus San Jose. Zadina’s 21-22 season has been anything but productive, with four goals and 10 points in 32 games. This […]

Opinion: Is This Dylan Larkin’s Best Season Yet?

Dylan Larkin has been the heartbeat of the Detroit Red Wings since he was drafted 15th overall in 2014. He has never played for a team outside the state of Michigan in his life and grew up loving the Red Wings. After his mentor, Henrik Zetterberg retired in the fall of 2018, Larkin became the […]
