Regarding Pavel Datsyuk: his agent Dan Milstein said Datsyuk is flying to Michigan soon and the two will discuss options. Milstein said
#RedWings
would be the only NHL team Datsyuk would play for.
Per Mickey Redmond on the
#RedWings
' telecast: Jimmy Devellano, the Wings' long-time front office exec, has a non-cancerous brain tumor. Surgery is Monday. Wings say they will have more info later. Prayers and all the best to one of the finest men in hockey.
Yes,
#RedWings
need defensemen...but you can't pass up 2 forwards like Zadina/Veleno, both of whom were projected to go much higher. If they can get D's such as Wilde, McIssac, Jett tomorrow, great draft
#RedWings
lose Gemel Smith on waivers back to Tampa. Played 3 games with Wings, played on a line with his brother, too much depth around to stick with Wings
Grand Rapids signs C Albin Grewe to amateur tryout.
Grewe was 2019 3rd-round draft pick. Grewe was playing for Djurgardens (SHL) while the OHL season has been delayed, with six points (3-3-6) and 29 penalty minutes in 39 games. He's an agitator
#RedWings
Nate Danielson ties
#RedWings
game in Toronto 1-1...he's done everything he could to make the Wings' decision to keep him on team as difficult as can be
#RedWings
the brothers Svechnikov are likely to face each other tomorrow; good for them, they've been dreaming/talking about this possibility for years
Near as I can tell,
#RedWings
will have staggering 10 UFA's next summer (Bernier, Biega, Merrill, Nemeth, Staal, Gagner, Ryan, Glendening, Filppula, Helm). Ummmm, tremendous opportunity to reshape roster
Lalonde says Husso in that week to week range with lower body injury; Lyon starts tonight.
Fabbri will be in Calgary for Saturday game; he’s a new father
#RedWings
If Patrick Kane is healthy, this makes
#RedWings
a team nobody wants to mess with in the playoffs....If Kane is less than, you wonder how it affects chemistry. Seems like they had a good thing going already
UPDATE: The Detroit
#RedWings
today recalled center Austin Czarnik and defenseman Simon Edvinsson from the AHL’s Grand Rapids Griffins under emergency conditions.
Details:
I wonder about Frans Nielsen's future on
#RedWings
...Nielsen and Filppula basically the same player, more or less. Don't need 2 of these on a rebuilding team, ideally
Lalonde says Kasper bothered with lower-body injury, they’ll see how he feels tomorrow morning; considered day to day. Husso back in net tomorrow
#RedWings
Martin Frk has cleared waivers and will go to Grand Rapids...the way he sounded this morning, he'll be more than happy to go to the AHL and play. Has barely played with Wings, and was obviously frustrated about that
#RedWings
Blashill says no Bernier, Ryan or Gagner tonight - but all very close to returning; also, Bertuzzi skated, and at least, a smidgen of optimism there
#RedWings
JUST ANNOUNCED: The
#RedWings
will hold a press conference today at 3 p.m. EST with Christopher Ilitch, Steve Yzerman and Ken Holland.
Watch live on , the Detroit Red Wings Facebook page and the Detroit Red Wings Twitter page.
In over 20 years of covering this Red Wings organization, Zetterberg certainly one of the best I've covered on and off the ice. Great player, great person. He certainly made the right decision in this case.
#RedWings
Here's something:
#RedWings
win percentage right now at 9-26-3 is .276.
The Tigers finished at 47-114, which was .292.
Gives you perspective as to how bad things are going
Adds Raymond tested positive before Christmas, which makes his timeline different than Leddy's. As for Blashill, he began coughing, feeling bad after Carolina game and wasn't surprised he tested positive.
#RedWings
Re: Svechikov - Now that he's played 10 games for the Wings this season, he needed to clear waivers again to be assigned to the taxi squad/Grand Rapids.
#RedWings
Lucas Raymond making a serious statement to stay on the roster. Scores on the
#RedWings
fourth power play goal of the evening, tying game 4-4. Raymond has 2 G and 4 A in 3 games this preseason
Blashill asked about his future, essentially says he believes his message is still getting across. Larkin/Abdelkader strongly back him, too.
That's fine.
But in the end, these lopsided losses have to end.
#RedWings
Holland said he'll wait and see until Monday's deadline regarding Howard and Nyquist....doesn't seem too concerned concerning new contracts with either player...there's been no interest in Vanek
#RedWings
Rasmussen got the game-winner in OT and did nothing to hurt his cause for making this team...He's going to provide desperately needed size on this roster - a big man with skill.
#RedWings
His entire career has been spent in the state of Michigan.
Now he's captain of the hometown team.
Congrats to
@Dylanlarkin39
on being named the 37th captain in
@DetroitRedWings
franchise history.

Tyler Bertuzzi will not go to Grand Rapids for its playoff run...will spend time working out/getting stronger. Makes sense - nothing else to prove in AHL.
