Locked On Red Wings - Daily Podcast On The Detroit Red Wings

On Friday the Detroit Red Wings signed D Travis Hamonic to a 1-year, $1M deal. The right shot defender adds size and physicality, but will almost certainly be lobbying for 3rd pair minutes. So it begs the question — Why sign him? We also preview sophomores Marco Kasper and Albert Johansson. #LGRW #NHL   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Why would the Ducks even move someone like him? #LGRW Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Gametime...

The Detroit Red Wings had a very off carosuel of leaders last season, constantly switching from one player to the next for the 'A'. Hopefully that sillyness comes to an end and they name actual assistant captains. Who are the candidates? Moritz Seider, Lucas Raymond, Ben Chiarot, Andrew Copp and JT Compher all seem like viable options. #LGRW Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Gametime Today's...

Jared McCann is 29 years old with 2 years remaining on a very reasonable $5M AAV deal. He plays PP1, PK1 and is their best forward. The question is not, 'should the Detroit Red Wings pursue Jared McCann', because yes, they should. It's more about 'Why are the Seattle Kraken listening to offers on him'? #LGRW Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Gametime Today's episode is brought to you by Gamet...

The Detroit Red Wings had one of the best power plays in the league, and one of the worst penaly kills EVER last season. Will the additions and subtractions to the roster help the PP stay top 5?

Most of the leagues top free agents didn't make it to noon on July 1st. Meaning rather than overpay for a mediocre player, Detroit opted for several cheap depth players to help the team on the fringes. That's fine and acceptable. BUT, missing on K'Andre Miller will hurt as the defender would have really helped Detroit now. #LGRW Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Gametime Today's episode is br...
