Detroit Red Wings news: the 2024-25 season preparation edition
Detroit Red Wings rumors for the 2024-25 season of the NHL, concerning Lucas Raymond and Moritz Seider.
Cam Fowler trade speculations
The rumours about Cam Fowler coming to Detroit have sparked plenty of discussions. While Fowler's best years may be behind him, adding a veteran defenseman could benefit the Red Wings in the short term. However, I agree that Detroit shouldn't overpay, especially considering the cap hit. A package involving Justin Holl and a late-round pick seems fair, though Anaheim might need to sweeten the pot if they're eager to move Fowler.
Lucas Raymond and Moritz Seider contract situation
As for the Lucas Raymond and Moritz Seider contract negotiations, it's concerning that no deals are finalized yet. Both players are core pieces of Detroit's future, and long-term deals would lock them in through their primes. While missing a bit of training camp might not be disastrous, securing these deals before the season starts should be a priority for GM Steve Yzerman.
Former Detroit Red Wings on PTOs
It's interesting to see many former Red Wings like Matt Luff, Madison Bowey, and Jakub Vrana getting PTOs around the league. It will be worth watching how they fare during training camps and whether they can land full-time roles. Jakub Vrana, in particular, could have a resurgence if he finds the right fit.
Prospect Tournament
The prospect games in Traverse City are always a highlight of the preseason, and with Detroit set to face Dallas tonight, it's a great chance to get a look at the team's future stars. Axel Sandin Pellikka and Michael Brandsegg-Nygard will be among those to watch, as both are expected to play pivotal roles in the Red Wings' future.
As for the blog, it would be great to hear more about in-depth player analysis, especially on prospects and up-and-coming players. Keeping an eye on how Yzerman manages the roster and updates on contract negotiations would also be key areas to follow.
