This season the Detroit Red Wings, as they have done for two decades, are going to depend on a “Nick” to eat up solid defensive minutes, contribute offensively, and provide a calming leadership effect on his teammates.  The big difference this season lies in the last name of that “Nick.”  Niklas Kronwall, and not Nick [...]

There is little denying the important role that Darren Helm plays on the Detroit Red Wings penalty killing unit.  He wins face-offs, he puts constant high pressure on the point men, and with his speed he is always a risk to steal a puck and break-a-way for a possible shorthanded goal.  However, it has been [...]

When the Detroit Red Wings signed then-free agent Ian White to a two-year, $5.75 million contract last year, there were certainly some high expectations.

It is no secret that Gustav Nyquist has start potential.  He was seen both in the regular season and playoffs during the Detroit Red Wings 2011-12 campaign.  He was not only someone who came up just to eat up some 4th-line minutes and give the big guns a rest – he was also found next [...]

There has been much speculation about the Detroit Red Wings landing a new defenseman this offseason to help offset the loss of both top-4 blueliner Brad Stuart as well as all-century defenseman Nick Lidstrom.  The biggest free agents have come and gone.  No Suter, no Weber, and not even Matt Carle have packed their bags [...]

Mikael Samuelsson might not be seen as a big acquisition for the Detroit Red Wings this offseason, but he brings two things to Detroit that were badly needed:  both a right-handed shot and the shoot-first mentality to use it.
