Aaron Ekblad is pending UFA for the defending champ Florida Panthers. If Detroit could add him you would add a defensemen who is impactful in all zones , in all situations. And most importantly, he is a top 4 right shot defensman who might be the meanest guy at his position, which is something Detroit needs. But he has some massive red flags in a long injury history and big pending pay day. Would...

Mitch Marner and Vlad Gavrikov arent the only notable free agents this season. The Panthers' Bennett and Ekblad bring a hard nosed style and Detroit desperately needs.

Carter Bear might be a top 10 pick candidate if he can prove his achilles injury is nothing to be worried about. At 6'0", this forward uses a combination of physicality and skill to create scoring opportunities. But what is his NHL floor and ceiling? Max Bultman joins to break his profile down as well share what he believes Detroit's priorities should be this offseason. #LGRW Support Us By Support...

Yzerman started from zero. No prospects, no cap. He's had time. Six seasons. In that span he has done a fantastic job of gutting the roster and restocking the cabinets full of prospects. But as the team became more competitive his free agent signings have been no where near as effective as the team has needed in transition. Now that the team has narrowly missed the playoffs in back to back seasons...

For the second year in a row, the LA Kings have an underrated defenseman hitting the free agency market. Vladislav Gavrikov is a top 4 defenseman who plays a vital role on their top 10 penalty kill. Does he even have any downsides? #LGRW   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Monarch Money For the second year in a row, the LA Kings have an underrated defenseman hitting the free agency market. Vl...

Mitch Marner, if he hits free agency, will be the biggest free agent since probably John Tavares. He will command upwards of $14M, if not more — Is it worth it for Detroit to sign him? What are his upsides? Does he have downsides? How would the acquisitions effect the roster and salary cap? #LGRW Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Griffins finished last season strong, and even despite graduations and retirements, they were the best team in the AHL until Christmas. Then it all fell apart, ending in a sweep to the Stars in the 1st round. What happened to the Griffins? And what do they need to change? What prospects are close to the NHL? Is there any concern for Cossa? Andrew Rinaldi of The Calder Times joins! #LGRW   Supp...

Matthew Knies. Evan Bouchard. Marco Rossi. All are high profile RFAs, and normally offer sheeting is rare and considered bad business. But, after the success St. Louis had poachin two young players from Edomonton last season, has the mindset shifted? Also, is it worth the picks Detroit will have to pay in compensation? #LGRW Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Monarch Money Take control of your...

Soderblom, Johansson and Berggren are RFAs this offseason. While they certaintly aren't Seider or Raymond caliber free agents, they still will likely command more money. How much, and for how long? #LGRW Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Monarch Money Take control of your finances with Monarch Money.

Grand Rapids needed to respond in Texas, and they did — Or so we thought. The Griffins, up 4-1, blow the lead in the 3rd and lose in 2OT. What went wrong with the Griffins this season? MBN did score in his second consecutive goal, as he continued to get comfortable on North American Ice, as did Lombardi and Danielson. #LGRW Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Patrick Kane and Steve Yzerman both expressed mutual interest in him remaining in Detroit for a third season. Will they get it done? Both JT Compher and Andrew Copp are similar players on similar contracts, will Detroit carry both into next season? Gustafsson and Tarasenko are both entering the final year on their deals after an underwhelming 1st season, is it worth running it back with them? #LGR...

Alex DeBrincat scored 39 goals this season, even more than we expected him to after a down year last season. Patrick Kane looked wash under Lalonde, but when McLellean arrived, he finished at a 90 point pace. Mrazek arrived at the deadline and was a goalie, and Austin Watson brought a much needed physical presence to the lineup. #LGRW Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Indeed Now, you can spee...

While the Red Wings were busy falling in the draft, the Griffins were busy losing their 2nd straight game to open the playoffs. Cossa, after a rough game 1, rode the pine behind Campbell. The team in front couldn't get it going at 5v5 or special teams. But at least MBN scored his AHL first and added an assist. #LGRW Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Steve Yzerman provided the most candid and emotional press conference since he's arrived. He focused early on the trade deadline. Yzerman expressed how he has no issue with trading players and picks to accelerate the rebuild but was 'comfortable' not doing so at the deadline considering the prices. He and McLellan both emphasized it's on the players and leaders to improve the morale, and not on wh...
