The Red Wings won’t have a key veteran winger available to them for the next two games. Team reporter Danielle Bruce mentions (Twitter link) that Patrick Kane will not be accompanying the team on their upcoming two-game road trip due to an upper-body injury that also kept him out on Sunday. However, he did skate on his own today and will be re-evaluated to see if he can return when the team returns home on Saturday. Kane has two goals and three assists through his first five games this season while playing a little more than 17 minutes a night.
Red Wings Rumors
Red Wings’ Emmitt Finnie Off To Impressive Start
Missing the playoffs for the last nine years, the Detroit Red Wings have had several top-15 overall picks in the first round and have several above-average prospects remaining in their pipeline. That’s what has made Emmitt Finnie’s emergence all the more inspiring.
Given that the team has had so many higher-end selections in the first round, Finnie had been treated somewhat as an afterthought in Detroit’s system, since he was drafted in the seventh round only two years ago. He had a relatively unimpressive year with the WHL’s Kamloops Blazers, scoring nine goals and 35 points in 64 games with a +11 rating.
He followed up his draft year with a productive campaign, scoring 19 goals and 59 points in 62 games. Still, it wasn’t enough at the time for Finnie to even chart on most Red Wings’ prospect boards, given that forwards scoring lower than a point-per-game average in the Canadian Major Junior system aren’t usually close to being NHL-caliber talents.
In his final year with the Blazers, and as the team’s captain, Finnie put it together on offense. Unfortunately, the team didn’t qualify for the WHL playoffs, but Finnie led the way on offense, scoring 37 goals and 84 points in 55 games. He finished the campaign with the AHL’s Grand Rapids Griffins, scoring one goal and five points in 10 games with a -4 rating.
At the beginning of training camp, few would have believed that he had a legitimate opportunity to crack the Red Wings’ roster. Still, as the team continued their search for a linemate next to Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond, Finnie’s work ethic stood out amongst the pack. General Manager Steve Yzerman has been criticized in recent years for not promoting more youngsters to the roster from camp. However, many Detroit fans recognize this as being the mantra of the franchise for the past several generations.
As the preseason progressed, Finnie remained on the roster, leading to unexpected optimism that he might stay with the team for the regular season. He finished Detroit’s preseason action with two goals and four points in seven games with a 16.7% shooting percentage, averaging 14:28 of action per game.
He has already surpassed those scoring totals in fewer games in the regular season.
At the time of writing, the 20-year-old is tied for third on the Red Wings in scoring, with two goals and five points in six games with a +7 rating, with both of those goals coming in yesterday’s win over the two-time defending Western Conference champion Edmonton Oilers. Still, there’s an argument to be made that anybody with a pulse may be able to engineer points at a relatively easy pace next to Larkin and Raymond.
That’s true to some degree, with Finnie only averaging a 43.4% CorsiFor% at even strength and his -0.7 Expected +/-. However, he’s tied for first on the team in hits (21), and has an excellent 96.7% on-ice save percentage at even strength, which is even more remarkable considering he begins nearly 2/3 of his shifts in the defensive zone.
There are few arguments this early in the season that Finnie is a bona fide top-six winger, nor is there any hope of him driving his own line anytime soon. However, he’s showing a degree of fearlessness that hasn’t been seen from a Detroit prospect in some time, and the team is better off for it.
Kane Ruled Out For Sunday's Game
Red Wings winger Patrick Kane suffered an injury late in Friday’s victory over Tampa Bay when he crashed hard into the boards. He’s now set to miss at least one game due to the injury as Max Bultman of The Athletic relays (Twitter link) that the veteran has been ruled out of playing tomorrow against Edmonton. The 36-year-old is off to a strong start to his season with two goals and three assists in his first five outings, good for third on the team in scoring but he won’t be adding to those totals for at least a few days. There’s no word yet on if he’ll miss any more time beyond Sunday’s outing.
Detroit Red Wings Shopping Defensemen
David Pagnotta from The Fourth Period reports that the Detroit Red Wings are attempting to resolve their surplus of defensemen through the trade market. Pagnotta specifically mentioned Erik Gustafsson and Travis Hamonic as trade bait moving forward, though Justin Holl could likely be thrown into the mix as well.
Gustafsson would be the least surprising veteran blueliner to move in the next few weeks. Although he technically made the team out of training camp, he was waived before the start of the campaign and was reassigned once the team welcomed James van Riemsdyk to the active roster. Given that he’s only making $2MM this season, Gustafsson would be one of the easiest ones to move.
Still, there’s an argument to be made that Gustafsson is overpaid, even on that reasonable salary. He had a disappointing first year with the Red Wings last season, scoring two goals and 18 points in 60 games despite being marketed as an offensive defenseman. His -19 rating finished as the worst on the team, and his 16:19 ATOI was second to last among defensemen with more than 40 games played.
The latter two would be somewhat trickier to move. Detroit only recently signed Hamonic (August 15th), and has a shortage of depth on the right side. Regardless of his disastrous play during the team’s home opener, it would be relatively uncharacteristic for a team to move on from a free agent signing that quickly.
Meanwhile, Holl would be the most difficult to move given his salary for the rest of the 2025-26 season. In potentially the worst signing for the Red Wings under Steve Yzerman’s stewardship, the team gave Holl a three-year, $10.2MM ($3.4MM AAV) contract in 2023, with a 10-team no-trade list in each year of the deal. Like Gustafsson, Holl was sent through waivers shortly before the start of the regular season. Now playing for the AHL’s Grand Rapids Griffins, Holl is unlikely to have much of a market considering 31 teams passed on him via the waiver wire.
Regardless, with the positive play of newcomer Jacob Bernard-Docker and youngster Axel Sandin Pellikka, the trio of veterans is unlikely to get an opportunity with Detroit anytime soon. A hypothetical trade wouldn’t entirely be without precedent, either. After the emergence of Albert Johansson last year, the Red Wings traded Olli Määttä to the Utah Hockey Club for a 2025 third-round pick in late October.
Still, none of this is urgent. The Red Wings have enough cap space to absorb Gustafsson and Holl’s buried contracts, and could do the same with Hamonic if he continues slumping. However, it would be a better service to the players if Detroit could put them in a situation with more opportunities.
Evening Notes: Red Wings, Motte, Matheson
In today’s episode of The DFO Rundown, David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period speculated that the Red Wings have been looking for offense, especially down the middle, and could be looking to move defensemen to make it happen. The Wings have top prospect Nate Danielson in the fold, however he is out indefinitely, after making a strong case to make the team. Detroit’s search for another top forward is nothing new, however, given that they are forced to lean on their young defensemen, trading one of them seems unlikely. Pagnotta affirmed this, noting that Travis Hamonic or Erik Gustafsson could be candidates, but their value is limited at this point.
One such young Red Wing defenseman that likely should be untouchable is Axel Sandin-Pellikka. In an article shared by NHL.com columnist Nick Cotsonika today, which was written by NHL.com’s Adam Kimelman, the electric Swede is off to an impressive start, averaging 21 minutes a night. His three NHL games have already surpassed his AHL total, two with Grand Rapids last season, but the 20-year-old appears up to the challenge.
Elsewhere across the league:
- Journeyman Tyler Motte has been signed to a professional tryout with the AHL’s Charlotte Checkers, as announced by the team. Motte, 30, was unable to secure an NHL contract after being released from the Panthers in training camp. Originally drafted 121st overall by Chicago in 2013, the Michigan native carved out 455 games in the NHL, not appearing in the AHL since 2017-18. Now, Motte will look to earn a role with Charlotte in a bid to extend his career.
- In yesterday’s edition of Insider Trading, TSN’s Pierre Lebrun mentioned that Mike Matheson is at the forefront for Montreal. Given all their activity from Noah Dobson to Lane Hutson, Matheson was put off a bit, however now the team will look to lock up the pending UFA. Lebrun said that Matheson is interested in the possibility, but that he does not want a short-term deal. The 31-year-old took a step back last season after a 62-point explosion in 2023-24, but Montreal should expect a raise from his current $4.8MM value, as much as $7MM according to AFP Analytics.
Summer Synopsis: Detroit Red Wings
With the regular season now upon us, the bulk of the heavy lifting has been done from a roster perspective. Most unrestricted free agents have found new homes, the arbitration period has come and gone, and the trade market has cooled. Accordingly, it’s a good time to take a look at what each team accomplished over the offseason. Next up is a look at the Detroit Red Wings
The Red Wings’ rebuild has not gone as planned, at least not yet. Given their summer and the progress of their division rivals, it’s hard to see this being the year they break their playoff drought. The once-proud franchise is approaching a full decade without playoff action, and it seemed poised to turn the corner on its rebuild, but it has stalled and now appears stuck in mediocrity. Detroit isn’t a terrible team, but they’ve finished just outside the playoffs for a few years and haven’t been bad enough to secure top picks. Fans and media alike are questioning the direction GM Steve Yzerman has taken the team, and it’s hard to say Detroit made any progress this offseason.
Draft
1-13 – F Carter Bear, Everett (WHL)
2-44 – F Eddie Genborg, Linköping HC (SHL)
3-75 – G Michal Pradel, Tri-City (USHL)
4-109 – RW Brent Solomon, Champlin Park High School (USHS-MN)
4-119 – F Michal Svrcek, Brynäs IF J20 (J20 Nationell)
5-140 – D Nikita Tyurin, Moscow Spartak Jr. (MHL)
6-172 – D Will Murphy, Cape Breton (QMJHL)
7-204 – F Grayden Robertson-Palmer, Phillips Academy Andover (USHS-Prep)
The Red Wings had a full slate of draft picks this past summer, enabling them to make eight selections across seven rounds. Their top pick, Bear, is a two-way forward with abundant offensive talent that could become a top-six player with some improvement in his skating and consistency. At the very least, he seems destined to be a top-nine forward, but it will take some time for him to reach that level. Bear has a lot of pace in his game and plays a high-energy style that can frustrate his opponents. He won’t shy away from contact and is relentless in his effort to get to the front of the net. He dealt with a serious injury last season, but it shouldn’t hinder his development moving forward.
Genborg has all the physical tools to develop into a power forward. He is strong on the forecheck and can make life miserable for opposing defensemen in his pursuit of the puck. He isn’t afraid to battle for position in front of the net and has good puck skills in tight spaces. At the very least, he should be able to develop into a checking line forward, but if he continues to develop his offensive tools, he might become more of a scorer than an energy guy.
Picking Pradel in the third round could prove to be a real steal, especially if he fills out his 6’5” frame. Pradel reads the play well and moves smoothly in the crease without scrambling as he dodges screens and traffic in front of him. He doesn’t seem to panic or get overly tense in the crease, which bodes well for the Red Wings if they reach the playoffs and need a big-game goalie. Pradel has some flaws, like rebound control, but if he improves that, he could develop into a top-notch netminder.
With their first pick in the fourth round, Detroit selected Solomon, who posted impressive goal-scoring numbers in high school and scored six points in eight USHL games. He is on the smaller side and will need to fill out significantly, but despite that, he has no trouble battling to the front of the net and isn’t afraid to take a hit if it means a scoring chance. He has a good shot and instincts for shooting, getting to the soft areas of the ice for open looks or the gritty areas when needed. He will need to adapt to faster levels of hockey, but at this stage, he looks ready to score goals at any level.
Trade Acquisitions
G John Gibson (from Anaheim)
Gibson was finally traded to the Red Wings at the NHL Entry Draft after years of speculation. Detroit was directly linked to Anaheim in all those trade rumours, with whispers following Gibson for most of the past five seasons. Gibson had a bit of a bounce-back last season in limited action, which prompted the Ducks to finally make a move while his value was at its peak.
Gibson was a force early in his career, posting elite numbers from 2015 to 2019 and signing an eight-year, $51.2MM contract extension in August 2018 that almost immediately turned into a disaster for the Ducks. Gibson produced below-average results from 2019 to 2024 before his rebound last season, when he played 28 games, registered a .911 SV%, and a 2.77 GAA. Those numbers don’t exactly stand out or scream ’starter,’ which makes the move for Gibson a risky one for Detroit, especially given the revolving door they’ve had in the crease over the past decade.
Detroit didn’t give up much for Gibson, but they’re also betting on a return to the playoffs with a veteran goalie who hasn’t played well for seven years and has only one average season since the start of the decade. There’s a chance Gibson regains his form when given a fresh start, but there’s also a chance that last year was a fluke and the Gibson from 2019-2024 was the real version traded to Detroit. If that’s the case, the Red Wings’ playoff drought will likely hit the ten-year mark.
UFA Signings
F Mason Appleton (two years, $5.8MM)
D Jacob Bernard-Docker (one year, $875K)
D Travis Hamonic (one year, $1MM)
F John Leonard (one year, $775K)
D Ian Mitchell (one year, $775K)
F James van Riemsdyk (one year, $1MM)
*-denotes two-way contract
Despite having plenty of cap space for a big addition, the Red Wings were relatively modest in free agency this summer. Reports later in the offseason indicated that Detroit was ready to make a sizeable offer to defenseman Aaron Ekblad, although he eventually re-signed with the Florida Panthers. Instead, the Red Wings added around the fringes of their lineup.
Appleton turned out to be the biggest fish Detroit brought in this offseason, and the reasoning is two-fold. Outside of J.T. Compher, the Red Wings didn’t have another right-handed forward to put in the bottom-six, and Yzerman has historically appreciated a balanced handedness across the lineup. Furthermore, given that he averaged a 92.6% on-ice save percentage across all situations during his time with the Winnipeg Jets, Appleton was brought aboard to assist the Red Wings’ penalty kill, which finished dead last in the league last year.
Outside of Appleton, Detroit added a few veterans in van Riemsdyk and Hamonic, as well as took a flyer on Bernard-Docker. The former was brought in to replace the lost offense from Vladimir Tarasenko, while the latter two are expected to stabilize the defensive core. Unfortunately, the Hamonic signing has sprouted more questions than answers, given his disastrous play in the team’s season opener.
RFA Re-Signings
F Jonatan Berggren (one year, $1.825MM)
D Albert Johansson (two years, $2.25MM)
F Elmer Soderblom (two years, $2.25MM)
D Antti Tuomisto (one year, $813,750)*
*-denotes two-way contract
Detroit moved quickly in re-signing two of its best defensive forwards from last year, Berggren and Soderblom. Both youngsters recorded an on-ice save percentage above 91.0% during even-strength play last season, marking two of the best performances on the team. Unfortunately, unless the Red Wings receive more offense from Berggren this year, it may become his last season with the team that drafted him.
He was relatively productive on that front during the 2024-25 campaign, scoring 12 goals and 24 points in 75 games, averaging 12:59 of ice time per game. Unfortunately, that’s well below the point-per-game average he managed during his time in the AHL and SHL. If he isn’t able to find another gear offensively, he could become a trade candidate for Detroit during the deadline season.
Meanwhile, Johansson earned himself a two-year deal after a solid debut last year. He offered little offensively, scoring three goals and nine points in 61 games, but was much better on the defensive side of the puck. He was one of Detroit’s most physical defensemen last year and managed a 90.2% on-ice save percentage at even strength. Unfortunately, he’s lacking the talent to work into a top-four role. Still, he’s an effective spark plug that the Red Wings can utilize at the bottom of their defensive core.
Departures
F Timothy Gettinger (signed in DEL)
G Alex Lyon (signed with Buffalo, two years, $3MM)
G Petr Mrazek (traded to Anaheim)
D Jeff Petry (signed with Florida, one year, $775K)
F Joe Snively (signed in SHL)
F Vladimir Tarasenko (traded to Minnesota)
Not only was Tarasenko the most disappointing signing for the Red Wings ahead of the 2024-25 season, but he was one of the most disappointing league-wide. Before joining Detroit, Tarasenko scored 23 goals and 55 points between the Ottawa Senators and Panthers in the 2023-24 campaign, winning the second Stanley Cup championship of his career after scoring five goals and nine points in 24 postseason contests for Florida.
Unfortunately, the Red Wings didn’t get anything close to that level of production. Tarasenko finished the year with 11 goals and 33 points in 80 games, far and away the lowest output of his career across a full season. During last year’s trade deadline, Tarasenko found himself in trade rumors, though Detroit waited until the offseason to finalize the much-needed divorce.
Aside from Tarasenko, the Red Wings didn’t lose too much this offseason, nor did they stand to do so. Detroit is gambling that Gibson can effectively replace the lost value of Lyon and Mrazek, though the former is dramatically outplaying him to begin the 2025-26 campaign. Meanwhile, there was little chance of the Red Wings pursuing an extended relationship with Petry this summer, as he, along with Ben Chiarot, were the only two defensemen on the team last season to not average higher than a 50.0% xGoals%.

Salary Cap Outlook
Because Detroit didn’t hand out any big-ticket contracts this summer, the team has ample cap space for the 2025-26 season. According to PuckPedia, the Red Wings have $12.37MM in cap space, the fifth-most in the league. That flexibility is expected to grow dramatically next summer.
Assuming the upper limit of the salary cap only reaches $104MM for the 2026-27 season, the Red Wings will enter the summer with approximately $42MM in cap space. They’ll need to use some of that for Simon Edvinsson and Kane if there’s mutual desire for a reunion. Regardless, Yzerman will have plenty of cash to pursue high-tier options, such as Artemi Panarin, Adrian Kempe, and Martin Necas, among others, if they make it to the open market.
Key Questions
Is John Gibson The Answer In Net?
Over the past several years, the Red Wings have utilized several different placeholders in the crease, like Alex Nedeljkovic, Ville Husso, and James Reimer, among others. The team is clearly waiting for the emergence of prospects Sebastian Cossa and Trey Augustine, though there’s no guarantee they’ll reach their ceiling at the NHL level. They took a swing at Gibson this summer, hoping that his 2024-25 season wasn’t a fluke. Unfortunately, Gibson had been relatively disappointing in the five years prior, managing a 74-129-33 record with a .900 SV% and 3.36 GAA with the Ducks. Further, it would have been difficult to have a worse debut than the one he had with Detroit, allowing five goals on 13 shots before getting pulled in the second period.
How Will They Fare Under A Full Season Of Todd McLellan?
After getting off to a 13-17-4 start through the first three months of the campaign, the Red Wings fired former head coach Derek LaLonde. The team performed much better under McLellan (26-18-4), though it wasn’t enough to overcome the hole they had already dug for themselves. Still, although the team performed much better offensively under McLellan, their defense remained weak after the transition. McLellan has previously found success in his career, particularly with the San Jose Sharks and Edmonton Oilers. However, given Detroit’s roster makeup, there’s no guarantee he’ll find success with this current iteration of the Red Wings’ lineup. This season is an important litmus test of whether Yzerman hired the right man for the job.
Is Axel Sandin Pellikka Ready For Top-Four Minutes?
Given their brief pursuit of Ekblad this summer, there’s no question the Red Wings are looking to bolster the right side of their defensive core behind Moritz Seider. Since Detroit is compelled to pair Chiarot with Seider, as he is the only one capable of compensating for the veteran’s defensive weaknesses, Edvinsson swiftly becomes the prime candidate for Detroit’s second unit. Still, the Red Wings are taking a significant gamble by thrusting Axel Sandin Pellikka into a top-four role alongside his countryman. There’s no questioning his talent, as the former first-round pick scored four goals and 10 points in seven games as the captain for Team Sweden during last year’s IIHF U20 World Junior Championships, and another 12 goals and 29 points in 46 games for the SHL’s Skellefteå AIK. Still, Sandin Pellikka only had two games of professional experience in North America before this season, and there’s no guarantee he’s ready for top-four minutes at the NHL level. He’s gone scoreless through three games to start his rookie season, though he’s averaged a 54.2% CorsiFor% at even strength, and a 90.0% on-ice save percentage at even strength while averaging 21:02 of ice time per game.

Short-Term Absences: Raymond, Foligno, Samuelsson
At least for now, the Red Wings are exhaling that the news isn’t worse regarding the health of star winger Lucas Raymond. He won’t play tonight but is only considered day-to-day with an upper-body injury, the team announced. Raymond left Monday’s win over the Maple Leafs midway through the second period after taking a cross-check into the boards from Toronto defenseman Chris Tanev (video via B/R Open Ice). There was initial fear and speculation that he may have sustained something as serious as a collarbone fracture, but he was back on the ice for morning skate today, according to the team’s Daniella Bruce. He might not even miss a full week, considering there’s been no injured reserve placement. Through two and a half appearances, Raymond had scored twice and added an assist with a +3 rating in what’s otherwise been an iffy start at even strength for Detroit’s top line of him, Dylan Larkin, and rookie Emmitt Finnie.
More short-term absences of note from around the league:
- The Blackhawks announced that captain Nick Foligno will be taking a “brief” leave of absence and will miss tonight’s game against the Blues. He’s stepping away to be with his family as his daughter undergoes a follow-up surgery related to her congenital heart disease. All of us at PHR send our best wishes to the Foligno family. You can visit their foundation for heart health, The Heart’s Playbook, at this link.
- Sabres defenseman Mattias Samuelsson has been ruled out for tonight’s game against the Senators, according to Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550. His absence shouldn’t last much longer, though. He skated on his own today and could be an option to play this weekend, head coach Lindy Ruff said. Samuelsson remains on the active roster after departing last weekend’s loss to the Bruins early. He’s only missed one game so far.
Lucas Raymond Leaves Game With Injury
- Detroit Red Wings forward Lucas Raymond was forced out of today’s game against the Toronto Maple Leafs due to an upper-body injury, and head coach Todd McLellan did not issue an update on the forward’s status post-game. As Detroit’s leading scorer in each of the last two seasons, Raymond has emerged as one of the Red Wings’ most important players, and their undisputed most lethal offensive threat. While we await further information on Raymond’s injury, Red Wings fans will likely have their fingers crossed that his absence was more precautionary than anything else.
Red Wings Activate James Van Riemsdyk
The Red Wings announced Saturday that they’ve activated winger James van Riemsdyk from the non-roster list and assigned defenseman Erik Gustafsson to AHL Grand Rapids to open a spot on the active roster. Gustafsson previously cleared waivers on Monday, so he doesn’t need them again for today’s demotion.
van Riemsdyk, 36, will presumably be making his Red Wings debut tonight when they host the Maple Leafs, where he played from 2012-18. JVR joined Detroit on a one-year, $1MM deal with up to $750K in performance bonuses in free agency this past summer after churning out 16 goals in 71 games with the Blue Jackets last year, his most since the 2021-22 season. He’s far from being the 60-point producer he was at his peak but has still averaged a healthy 41 points per 82 games over the last four seasons.
Based on line rushes at yesterday’s practice, van Riemsdyk is likely to draw in for Elmer Söderblom in a fourth-line role alongside Michael Rasmussen and Mason Appleton. That means rookies Michael Brandsegg-Nygard, Emmitt Finnie, and Axel Sandin Pellikka will all remain in the lineup after making their NHL debuts in Detroit’s opening-night 5-1 loss to the Canadiens.
van Riemsdyk had missed most of training camp while on personal leave, so he landed on the non-roster list to begin the year as he got back up to game speed in practice. He and Appleton were the most notable signings from what was otherwise a relatively quiet free agency period for the Red Wings.
The reassignment for Gustafsson is the easy path to take after his waiver clearance. The lefty signed a two-year, $4MM contract in 2024 that, like a good portion of general manager Steve Yzerman’s recent free-agent pickups on the blue line, hasn’t worked out all that well. He only made 60 appearances last season due to a combination of a late-season injury and healthy scratches, and his standing on the team in this year’s camp was further limited by the emergence of Sandin-Pellikka and a new batch of newer, cheaper UFA pickups in Jacob Bernard-Docker and Travis Hamonic.
Gustafsson will still count for $850K against the cap for the Wings while in the minors. After being scratched for Detroit’s season opener, he’ll now be ticketed for his first AHL action in eight years, last recording 17 points in 25 games for Rockford while in the Blackhawks organization in 2017-18.
