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.

TIPS FOR DECIDING WHO TO KEEP FOR KEEPER/DYNASTY LEAGUES

Keeper fantasy leagues are a variation of traditional fantasy sports leagues where participants are allowed to keep a certain number of players from their previous season's roster onto their team for the upcoming season. The number of players that can be kept, as well as the specific rules regarding keeping players, vary from league to league and are typically determined by the league commissioner or by a set of agreed-upon rules among league members. In a keeper league, the kept players usually come with a cost, such as forfeiting a specific draft pick in the upcoming draft or having to pay a predetermined fee. This adds a strategic element to the game, as managers must decide which players to keep based on their performance, potential, and value relative to the cost of keeping them. Keeper leagues often provide a deeper level of engagement and strategy compared to standard fantasy leagues because managers need to consider long-term player development and roster management beyond ...

Here are some tips to help you dominate your Fantasy Hockey Keeper Leagues. Number of Keepers and League Settings When deciding on keepers, it is very important to know how many keepers the league allows you to keep and the league scoring system, because there are players that work better in H2H CAT leagues as opposed to H2H leagues with standard scoring categories.  If you can only keep a few players, focus on those who provide the most value in your specific scoring format.
