How Detroit Red Wings can Become Contenders

 The Detroit Red Wings have had a terrific start to the season with a 4-2 record, thanks to the arrival of young studs such as Lucas Raymond and Moritz Seider, who have added lots of skill and talent to the lineup.

 


Detroit Red Wings Offseason Moves:

1. Traded for and Re-signed Alex Nedeljkovic

2. Traded for Nick Leddy

3. Signed Pius Suter, Jordan Oesterle

4. Re-signed Jakub Vrana, Filip Hronek

5. Re-signed Marc Staal, Michael Rasmussen, Adam Erne


Offseason Review:

The biggest weakness for the Detroit Red Wings was goaltending, so they went out and traded for Alex Nedeljkovic, who was in a contract dispute with the Carolina Hurricanes. Then subsequently, re-signed Nedeljkovic to a 2 yr deal worth 3.5 million per season. Nedeljkovic will tandem with Thomas Greiss and should form a solid tandem in net.

The Red Wings also acquired Nick Leddy from the New York Islanders. This trade helps the Red Wings take that next step forward, as Leddy is an veteran defenseman, with playoff experience, and he should help mentor the young defenseman in Detroit.

Heading into the season, the Red Wings needed to add a 2nd line center, and they were able to find one in Pius Suter. Detroit signed Pius Suter to a 2 yr deal worth 3.25 million per season. Besides adding Pius Suter, the Red Wings also signed Jordan Oesterle to a 2 yr deal worth 1.35 million per season. Oesterle will be a solid 6th or 7th defenseman for the Red Wings.

After a bit of a contract dispute, the Detroit Red Wings agreed on a 4 yr extension worth 5.25 million per season with Jakub Vrana. Jakub Vrana is an ultra-talented winger, but can struggle at times with his consistency; regardless, he should be a big part of the core. Filip Hronek was re-signed to a 3 yr deal worth 4.4 million per season. Hronek is already a good top 4 defenseman, and will only improve.

Besides Vrana and Hronek, the Red Wings also re-signed veteran defenseman, Marc Staal, Michael Rasmussen, and Adam Erne. Marc Staal is still a solid veteran Defenseman, and both Rasmussen and Erne will be an important part of their depth.


The Detroit Red Wings should make a trade to improve the team:

Detroit Red Wings trade Vladislav Namestnikov, Sam Gagner, 2022 3rd round pick to the Seattle Kraken for Calle Jarnkrok, Mason Appleton.

Calle Jarnkrok and Mason Appleton will help strengthen the depth on the Red Wings, while Seattle get two players to fill out the lineup and a 3rd round pick.


This is how the Red Wings lineup looks like after the trade:



Ty.Bertuzzi-D.Larkin-L.Raymond

R.Fabbri-P.Suter-F.Zadina

C.Jarnkrok-M.Rasmussen-M.Appleton

C.Rowney-M.Stephens-A.Erne

D.DeKeyser-M.Seider

N.Leddy-F.Hronek

M.Staal-T.Stetcher

A.Nedeljkovic

T.Greiss

(IR) J.Vrana


The Detroit Red Wings could definitely make the playoffs with the additions of Jarnkrok and Appleton, and the development of young stars.

FANTASY HOCKEY WAIVER WIRE PLAYERS TO PICKUP

C Sean Couturier -After missing 2+ years, Sean Couturier is back and it seems like he hasn't missed a beat. Believe it or not, Couturier has been one of the top centers in the league so far with his all-around play, putting up 2 goals, 3 assists, 2 PPP, 63 FW, 24 SOG, and 1 SHP. Despite showing that he is still an elite center, Couturier is only owned in 20% of fantasy leagues. Pick him up now, while you still can. Ryan Johansen - Serves as the Avalanche's 2nd line center and plays on their all-world 1st pp unit. Despite not being the player he used to be, Johansen is still a valuable fantasy asset because of the players he plays with. Johansen has 4 goals and 4 PPPs along with 63 FW so far this season. He is owned in 29% of fantasy leagues. Sean Monahan - Someone must have gotten a time machine and put Sean Monahan in it because he is playing like he was back when he was in his prime. Monahan has been arguably the best player on Montreal this year, with 3 goals, 6 points, 2 PP

FANTASY HOCKEY WAIVER WIRE PLAYERS TO PICKUP

Here are some players you should pickup in Fantasy Hockey, sorted by position. Center Colton Sissons Colton Sissons is one of the best 4th line centers in the league, but in fantasy hockey, he could be even more valuable than he actually is in real life because of what he provides in the peripheral categories. So far this season Sissions has 5 goals, 1 PPP, 1 SHP, 12 PIM, 20 SOG, 89 FW, 15 hits, and 9 blocks. This is a terrific stat line and although you can't count on Sissons scoring a ton, he will fill out the FW, Hits, and blocks usually. Sissons is owned in 6% of fantasy leagues, snag him up while you can. Nick Bjugstad Nick Bjugstad is having an excellent year so far with the Arizona Coyotes, in fact he has played so well that he earned himself a promotion to play on the 2nd line along with Mattias Maccelli and Lawson Crouse. Bjugstad also gets time on Arizona's 2nd PP unit and 2nd PK unit. Bjugstad may not be a name who stands out to casuals, but his fantasy stat line is

Fantasy Hockey Forwards to Trade For

Here is a list of Players who you should consider trading for in Fantasy Hockey. Tage Thompson Tage Thompson had very high expectations of him heading into this season but has been a massive disappointment to this point in the season with only 7 goals, 8 assists, 4 PPP, 60 SOG, and 99 FW. Thompson has been better after coming back from injury and you would think that he is going to eventually start putting points in bunches. Because of how bad Thompson's statline is this season. it would be a good idea to trade for him because you may not have to give up a lot in return.  Elias Lindholm Elias Lindholm is another player who has had a slow start to the season with only 7 goals, 10 assists, 3 PPP, 68 SOG, and 297 FW so far this season. Lindholm is definitely going to want to play better if he wants to increase his value for his next contract and also showcase himself for a trade at the deadline. If Lindholm gets dealt to a contending team, his fantasy value would drastically improve b
