In a move that was widely expected and will no doubt be loathed by many Red Wings fans, Andreas Lilja signed a two-year deal to remain in Detroit. He’ll receive a modest raise on his $1 million annual salary he made during his last contract.
Due to the salary amount and Lilja’s ability to play […]
MLIVE’s Ansar Khan writes what most have suspected: Dallas Drake is going to go out on top and retire from the NHL.
Drake, as expected, has told the Detroit Red Wings he is leaning toward retirement, general manager Ken Holland said.
The physical left wing provided some much needed abrasiveness, particularly in the playoffs. He had signed […]
I could get used to seeing Stuart
do this in games against Chicago
Brook commented that there’s a good chance Ken Holland is working dilligently behind the scenes to get Brad Stuart inked to a new deal prior to July 1. The most recent comments from the Red Wings general manager indicate the two sides are […]
Last season Ken Holland fielded a team comprised largely of players drafted by his organization [14 of the 24 players who logged significant ice time], castoffs from other teams [Kris Draper was in fact on the dollar menu back in the day], along with one big free agent signing [Brian Rafalski] and one trade deadline […]
Back in the day Derek Meech was once Dion Phaneuf’s defense partner. It turns out that Meech still hangs out with some fairly elite talent, in this case the best Red Wings rookies.
Bruce MacLeod has returned to the controls over at the Mothership known as Red Wings Corner. He informs us that Derek […]

MLIVE reporter Ansar Khan tells us what Red Wings general manager Ken Holland is thinking when it comes to acquiring forwards via free agency.
They will seek a top-six forward in free agency, but likely for only a short term (one or two years) and for between $4 million and $5 million a season. They have […]
With the draft over the focus now turns to free agency - both unrestricted [Brad Stuart and Andreas Lilja to name two] and restricted [Valtteri Filppula and Jonathan Ericsson are a few this summer]. Here’s a list of free agents across the league.
The Red Wings will have the cap space to address a couple […]
I’m going to start off by saying I don’t know the first thing about how the Red Wings determine who they are going to draft and how they decide they want to select a particular player in a particular round. The scouting services and the mock drafts have been helpful in getting a general […]
I’ll update this periodically as their draft picks are announced:
