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 many this season. Aaron Ekblad is also off the market, opting to take a team friendly deal to stay in Florida. #LGRW

Yaay! Not only we get Kaner back but we get more little Archie🥹 and little Patrick🥹 videos!💪😅
Those little dudes need their own reality TV show! 😭
Now let's improve the DEFENSE and upgrade our WINGERS!
#LGRW!🏒🔥🔥🔥
Now
LOL, I have lived in Florida for 15 years, and the climate there is horrible: constant oppressive heat, humidity, weird animals,.
I think the whole cxap system ,probably unintentionally, has created a different kind of a problem where expensive free agents are only willing to go to a handful of teams. In a way, it is becoming .like soccer where, if you are a Real Madrid or a Bayern Munich, you can pretty much buy anyone you want while the other teams are left with scraps, even if they have the money.
Kane will be making 5.7M when all is said and done
Hear me out: We go all-in on Corey Perry on a 1-year 6.5M deal. He's going to get us to a cup finals loss, which would be a godsend for building a winning culture…
Raymond has been my favorite player.
When are you two and the rest of the media get out of Yzerman's butt??????
Kane led the Wings in 5v5 points per game from mid December on. His lines w Cat/Larkin and Cat/Kasper outscored opponents 15-8. (Raymond with Cat/Larkin and Kasper/Larkin last year lost 20-24) He was +3 at 5v5 for the year, 2nd among forwards. The team's best 2 lines were the two aforementioned w him on them. The team's highest scoring line by GF/60 was another Kane/Cat line, w Copp (which tied 11-11 overall and had some defensive issues).
So. He is not just a power play QB, no. Being special on the power play does not make one a power play specialist. And for all the talk of 'his age begins to show' at 5v5, lack of speed, etc, Kane was in on more fast breaks, 2 on 1s, 3 on 1s, rushes, at 5v5, than seemingly anyone else on the team.
If you play him 5v5 w talented linemates and give generous deployment, as of this past season he will reward you with scoreboard wins. Which cannot be said for Razor, and yes I am aware of the deployment differences on Ray lines.
Berggren a NHL caliber RFA? Yeah right. Waste of money
Is is just me, or has everyone forgot Ryan Lindgren is also a UFA?
$16.25M in space if you add in Postava. That’s barely enough to get Boeser/Ehlers and Miller/Provorov/Gavrikov.
Would be mission accomplished if they can sign on the dotted line.
What's REALLY interesting with Kane's new contract and that you forgot to talk about is that it holds no clauses (atleast from what i read on puckpedia), so we could potentially see Detroit move on from him at trade deadline and get a decent return IF we are out of the race… Hopefully none of it happens though!
Does Soderblom have a contract?
If we can just trade for Robertson from the Stars. Big scoring LF hole filled.
I think Johnny burgers did a ton of push-ups over the off-season and it’s gonna play one year on the wing with Larkin. He played great up there towards the end of the season. (I am also incredibly delusional and loyal to players that I know and want them to stick with the team forever)
hEY gUYS ..WHATS UP WITH the K'Andre Miller trade to the wings ? Thats why i think they Gave Johannsen the deal they did ..he's part of the deal /…. Can u Gents Look into this For CLARITY ? tHANKS bOYS
I feel like the Costco calzone is a good off-season pickup. Not sure if it's enough to make the playoffs next year with missing out on picking up chickenbake in FA.
I think the big deal with Marchand was the term. How many teams are going to offer 6 years to a 37 year old player?
It’s really unfortunate that despite a good draft and a solid trade for Gibson has been mostly for naught, given that all of the good free agents are already gone before free agency even started.
Yzerman is going to have to make a big splash via trade to get this team into the playoffs, and if he doesn’t… if we miss the postseason again, he must be fired.
Picking up K’Andre Miller would make the Red Wings offseason losers, lest it be for no prospects or picks. Gavrikov is the better option, plus we should make a move for Robertson (although I’m not sure he’s the answer Marner might’ve been to get us into the postseason)
Anything else will be a failed offseason.
who's getting traded from Florida? 10 forwards, 6 D and 1 goalie with no cap space. Is Ekblad a sign and trade?
So Steve Y call in a favor from Minnesota for Vald
We're all good with Tarasenko being traded for nothing but if he explodes in Minnesota, Detroit fans will crucify Yzerman.
