Red Wings coach Derek Lalonde praised the Toledo Walleye for hiring 50-year-old Pat Mikesch on Thursday as new head coach of Detroit’s ECHL affiliate. A former assistant coach under Lalonde with the USHL’s Green Bay Gamblers from 2011-14, Mikesch replaces Dan Watson, who was named head coach of the the Red Wings’ AHL team in
In adding Alex DeBrincat this summer, the Red Wings’ front office has addressed the team’s single greatest need, goal scoring. Only three of their players reached at least 20 goals last year, with just one above 30, and the Red Wings finished with the 9th fewest goals scored in the entire NHL during the 2022-23
Just a few short weeks after selecting him with the ninth overall pick in the 2023 NHL Draft, the Detroit Red Wings have signed Nate Danielson to an entry-level contract. The 18-year-old center was one of the most complete forwards in this year’s draft and the Red Wings decided to silence all questions about their

The Detroit Red Wings have had a busy summer. It may not have felt like a lot, but the last few weeks have been busy. Before June wrapped up, the Red Wings made their draft choices and brought in some new faces to join the organization before jumping into free agency, which was busy early
The Detroit Red Wings signed center Nate Danielson to a three-year, entry-level contract one week after the team’s development camp at Little Caesars Arena. Danielson, 18, was selected by the Red Wings in the first round (ninth overall) of the 2023 NHL Entry Draft at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on June 28. The 6-foot-2, 186-pound
Stepping into a true starter role for the first time in the league at age 28, Dominik Hasek entered the limelight in 1993, a time in which Patrick Roy was cementing himself as an NHL great and Martin Brodeur was already the next up-and-coming star goalie. Hasek wasn’t supposed to be in the starter’s net
No doubt, Steve Yzerman and the Detroit Red Wings had a busy offseason. In addition to the Alex DeBrincat and Klim Kostin acquisitions, the organization also signed six free agents to play NHL roles. That’s a lot of new faces in Hockeytown. Related: What Is the “Yzerplan” Exactly & How Is It Progressing? So is
The Detroit Red Wings wasted no time getting their top pick from last month’s NHL draft under contract. Nate Danielson, the No. 9 pick from the 2023 class, was signed to an entry-level contract Wednesday, two weeks after the Wings added him to the rebuild. The night they drafted him, June 28 in Nashville, Tenn.,
Steve Yzerman never played goalie, but maybe the Detroit Red Wings general manager should have, because he sure made some big saves this week with his trade for Ottawa Senators forward — and Farmington Hills product —Alex DeBrincat. He saved what was shaping up to be another ho-hum, borderline-meh offseason of free agency. He saved
The Detroit Red Wings have had themselves a big off-season. Even in a year where the free agency class was dull, the Red Wings found ways to get the job done and upgrade their roster. There have been changes, but they feel they are leaving the Red Wings better off moving forward. For the Detroit
Detroit — Steve Yzerman went ahead and did it, ready or not. In one slick, stealthy move, he simultaneously made his job easier and tougher. He made the Red Wings a lot more interesting, while also ramping up realistic (and unrealistic) expectations for the rebuild timetable. We won’t know the full, tangible impact of newly
Alex DeBrincat has been traded to the Detroit Red Wings. The blockbuster deal puts an end to the offseason drama with the Ottawa Senators involving one of their best players and caps off the biggest move of the summer. The Red Wings sent multiple pieces to the Senators for DeBrincat, but the trade is worthwhile
When he was growing up, Alex DeBrincat dreamed of being a Detroit Red Wing. Growing up in Farmington Hills, about a half hour drive from Detroit, he remembers that championship 2001-02 Red Wings team filled with Hall of Famers. But the peak of his fandom came six years later when a new wave of Red
Detroit Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman was drafted into the NHL some 40 years ago, and through all his time in the game, he’s never had a situation play out quite like it has for Filip Zadina over the last few weeks. Sure, Yzerman said Monday, he’s had a player request for a contract
Alex DeBrincat wore a teal Detroit Pistons hat to commemorate his first interview as a member of the Detroit Red Wings. “I think it’s just a cool hat,” he said. Of course he does: He’s from Farmington Hills and grew up watching the Pistons in teal, when he wasn’t enthralled by the Wings, who ended
The Detroit Red Wings had an ongoing saga with Filip Zadina over the last few years that really started to take a turn as of late. The Red Wings continued to give Zadina chances after selecting him with the sixth overall draft pick in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft. The issue is that the Detroit
For months, the Ottawa Senators had been caught between a rock and a hard place with Alex DeBrincat. The team paid a high price to acquire him just over a year ago and was hopeful that he could be part of the team’s long-term future, but it quickly became clear that, despite the star’s claims
The negotiations that landed Alex DeBrincat with the Detroit Red Wings were a grind for everybody — except, apparently, the guy pulling the trigger. Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman said Monday the transaction to trade for DeBrincat and sign him to a four-year extension was actually pretty seamless. “It wasn’t long and laborious at
Filip Zadina is taking his talents to the West Coast. The former Detroit Red Wings winger on Monday signed a one-year deal with the San Jose Sharks worth $1.1 million, according to a release from the team. Zadina, 23, signed a three-year extension with the Red Wings last season worth $1.825 million annually. He became
