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

The Red Wings were able to offload of 100% of Vladimir Tarasenko's final year in a trade to the Minnesota Wild for 'future consideration'. They also avoided adding a sweetner, giving Detroit an additional $4.75M in cap space for tomorrow. Detroit used some of that added cap to re-sign Albert Johansson to a two-year deal carrying  an AAV of $1.125M, a good bridge deal for a player who surprised man...

A week from Free Agency what moves could Detroit make to address their many needs? Well, as Brian learns in his wishlist, it's not easy. Jason Robertson is his big swing trade to make this team's offense potent, and adding Gavrikov on the back-end would make their depth so much better. But that doesnt leave a lot of money elsewhere, so contracts need to be moved out. #LGRW  Support Us By Supportin...

Ivan Provorov is a minute munching defenseman who plays in all situations. The catch? He is good, but not great. Not a bad catch, is it?

Should Steve Yzerman and the Red Wings front office pursue this route to free up space? Justin Holl and Vladimir Tarasenko seem like the most obvious candidates.

Dave Pagnotta reported that the Red Wings are once again taking calls on Vladimir Tarasenko, is it so obvious to move him?

Detroit Red Wings also sign Czech goalie Michal Postava. #LGRW Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Gametime Today's episode is...

Radim Mrtka is just shy of 6'6" who uses his combination of size and keen awareness on defense to shut down offense, and who is already adjusted to North American ice. Brady Martin is a center with a mean streak, not afraid to throw his weight around, but who also has offense in his game. If both are available for Detroit, who should they choose? Will Scouch of Scouching joins to help up profile t...
