The near-miss after the Olympic break could’ve reshaped everything—from Dylan Larkin’s trade rumors to Patrick Kane’s future with the team. Hindsight’s a comfort, but the real pain? Three months later, the rebuild still feels stuck, and Larkin’s rift with GM Steve Yzerman might’ve been too deep to mend—even if the team had been winni...

Jordin Tootoo’s stint with the Detroit Red Wings was short, rough, and ultimately doomed — and he blames coach Mike Babcock for making his time in Detroit miserable. Signed in 2012 to bring toughness, Tootoo played just 53 games before the team bought out his contract after the 2013-14 season. He didn’t mince words, calling out Babcock’s coaching style as the core of his misery. Hockey legend Bret...

Dylan Larkin’s trade rumors just got a Dallas twist—reportedly eyeing a move to the Stars, who’re holding onto star center Wyatt Johnston, a 45-goal dynamo who’s been irreplaceable. With Johnston’s value soaring and Detroit’s GM still hunting the right deal, this trade feels like a long shot—unless Dallas gets a package so wild it makes sense. Larkin’s future remains a hockey mystery, and the NHL’...

Dylan Larkin’s trade hopes just got a twist as he’s added the Dallas Stars to his list — but don’t expect a deal anytime soon. Detroit’s GM, Steve Yzerman, isn’t budging, demanding top-tier assets like Wyatt Johnston or Jason Robertson, which Dallas balked at. Larkin’s locked into a lucrative five-year deal, making him a prized asset, but Dallas’ depth at center and cap constraints make them a poo...

Dylan Larkin’s trade standoff with the Detroit Red Wings is heating up — his agent’s July request for a move to Florida, Minnesota, or Vegas remains unfulfilled, with GM Steve Yzerman refusing to budge unless a top-tier offer emerges. Larkin’s five-year, $8.7M cap hit — plus $31M already paid — makes him a valuable asset, but the Wings won’t trade him for prospects or picks. They’re prepared to le...

The Detroit Red Wings took a bold gamble on Michal Orsulak, a massive 6-foot-4 goalie they drafted 79th overall in 2026, despite early doubts calling him “overweight, slow and not clutch.” A standout in the WHL and silver medalist with Czechia at the World Juniors, Orsulak was scouted closely after the team signed his teammate Justice Christensen. While NHL goalie development typically takes 6-8 y...

Emmitt Finnie just won Rookie of the Year for the Red Wings, putting up 30 points in 82 games as a seventh-round pick — a rare feat that puts him in elite company with legends like Zetterberg and Konstantinov. He dominated the ice with shots and hits, earned captaincy in the WHL, and even played for Team Canada. Winning this prestigious award — with past winners including Datsyuk and Dionne — prov...

Dylan Larkin’s trade request just got a twist—he’s added the Dallas Stars to his approved list, opening a new door for Detroit after stalled talks. While the Red Wings eyed Dallas’ Wyatt Johnston, that move fell through as Dallas grapples with cap space and Jason Robertson’s contract. With Larkin’s no-trade clause still in play, Detroit’s options remain limited to Vegas, Florida, Minnesota, and no...

Dylan Larkin’s trade wishlist just got a Dallas Stars addition, joining the Panthers, Wild, and Golden Knights — but don’t expect a deal anytime soon. Detroit’s asking for top-tier young talent like Wyatt Johnston, and with Larkin’s no-trade clause and a hefty contract until 2031, the Red Wings aren’t rushing. Finding a team that wants Larkin and can meet Detroit’s price? That’s the real hurdle. F...

Derek Lalonde’s coaching career just hit a new gear—just days after getting fired by Toronto, he’s now an assistant with Montreal, bringing his defensive expertise to another Original Six team.

Derek Lalonde, the former Detroit Red Wings assistant coach, is swiftly pivoting to the Montreal Canadiens—just weeks after being let go by the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Lalonde, nicknamed “Newsy” like the legendary Montreal NHLer of the same name, brings Stanley Cup-winnin...

Dylan Larkin, Detroit’s 29-year-old captain and consistent 30-goal scorer, has demanded a trade—setting a high bar with a list of elite contenders he’d accept, signaling he sees himself as championship-caliber. With GM Steve Yzerman focused on rebuilding, not capitulating, Larkin’s market value is soaring: recent deals show top centers fetch active players and multiple first-round picks. As other...

Dylan Larkin’s trade request has turned into a dead end—his no-movement clause and rigid three-team wishlist (Panthers, Wild, Golden Knights) are stalling any deal, as all three have already maxed out their offseason spending and can’t offer what Detroit wants. With no new teams on his list and GM Steve Yzerman needing immediate impact players, Larkin may just stay put—making this a tense, unresol...

Dylan Larkin’s exit from Detroit is heating up, with only three teams in the running: Minnesota, Florida, or Vegas—Panthers out.
