What Detroit Red Wings Need to do in the Offseason

 The Detroit Red Wings are having a disappointing season, but they can turn it around in the offseason, and build to be better next season.  These are the moves that I would make if I were GM of the Detroit Red Wings.



Before the 2022 Draft, a few trades are made


Detroit Red Wings trade Filip Zadina to the Arizona Coyotes for 1st round pick '22

This is a win-win trade for both teams because the Coyotes get a potential top 6 winger, while the Red Wings get Colorado's 1st round pick from this year's draft.


Robby Fabbri and Jordan Oesterle are traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs for Ilya Mikheyev and Ilya Lyubushkin. If Neither of these players re-signs with Detroit, they get a 2023 3rd-round pick. Detroit retains 1.5 million of Robby Fabbri's Contract for the duration of it.

This is basically a cap dump for the Red Wings, and for the Maple Leafs, they get two players to help the roster for two pending UFAs.


The Red Wings also trade Dan DeKeyser to the Anaheim Ducks for Jacob Larsson and a 2022 6th round pick. If DeKeyser re-signs with Anaheim, Detroit gets a conditional 4th round pick '23.

The Red Wings get something for a pending UFA in Dan DeKeyser, so they don't lose him for nothing.


Detroit also trades Oskar Sundqvist, Jake Walman, 3rd round pick to the Buffalo Sabres for Mattias Samuelsson.

Mattias Samuelsson will give the Red Wings a solid defensive defenseman to pair alongside Moritz Seider, while the Sabres add two solid depth players and a 3rd round pick.


At the 2022 Draft, the Detroit Red Wings trade pick 53 to the Nashville Predators for picks 82, 83, 146.


2022 Draft

8-Brad Lambert

32-Adam Ingram

40-Seamus Casey

82-Simon Forsmark

83-Miko Matikka

104-Kasper Kulonummi

112-Elmeri Laakso

127-Ludvig Jansson

136-Dominik Rymon

146-Julian Lutz

178-Niklas Kokko

200-Noah Grueter

Detroit Red Wings add 7 forwards, 5 defensemen, and 1 goalie with the 13 picks that they have in the 2022 draft.


Detroit Red Wings sign the following free agents:

Rickard Rakell-3yrs/4.75M per

Andrew Copp-5yrs/4M per

Justin Schultz-2yrs/4M per

Ben Chiarot-4yrs/3.6M per

Ilya Mikheyev-3yrs/3M per

Casey DeSmith-2yrs/2.5M per

Noel Acciari-3yrs/1.7M per

Ilya Lyubushkin-2yrs/1.5M per


This is what the Lineup looks like at the beginning of next season:


2022-23 Detroit Red Wings



T.Bertuzzi-D.Larkin-L.Raymond

J.Vrana-A.Copp-R.Rakell

J.Veleno-P.Suter-I.Mikheyev

A.Erne-M.Rasmussen-N.Acciari

M.Samuelsson-M.Seider

B.Chiarot-F.Hronek

S.Edvinsson-I.Lyubushkin

A.Nedeljkovic

C.DeSmith

Top Prospects:

F: B.Lambert, J.Berggren, A.Ingram, M.Matikka, D.Rymon, J.Lutz, N.Greuter

D: A.Johansson, S.Casey, S.Forsmark, K.Kulonummi, E.Laakso, L.Jansson

G: S.Cossa, N.Kokko


The Detroit Red Wings have put together a solid team that might still miss the playoffs but are headed in the right direction.

Fantasy Hockey Keeper League Advice

Keeper leagues add a layer of strategy and long-term planning to fantasy hockey. Every keeper league has its own unique rules and scoring settings, so adjust your strategy accordingly. By following these tips and adapting to your league's specific dynamics, you can increase your chances of long-term success. 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. Keep players who excel in categories that are heavily weighted in your league (e.g., power-play points, hits, blocks, faceoffs). If the league uses Rotisserie or Points settings, you will have to take that...

Fantasy Hockey All Star Edition Defenseman

 These are the best defenseman so far this season in Fantasy Hockey: Rasmus Dahlin Rasmus Dahlin has been by far the best defenseman in Fantasy this season, and it isn't close; he has 13 goals, 35 assists, 23 PPP, 119 SOG and a +16 rating on a bad Buffalo team. If Dahlin can sustain this type of production for the rest of the season, he will be a favorite to win the Norris trophy. Cale Makar Cale Makar has been a tad bit disappointing considering he was a top 5 pick in most fantasy drafts, but he is still having a fantastic season; he has tallied 13 goals, 30 assists, 21 PPP, 136 SOG, along with 3 GWG and a +7 rating. His dip in production may be due in large part to the injuries on Colorado, but as the team gets healthy, look for a strong second half from Cale Makar and Colorado. Roman Josi Roman Josi has once again been the best player for the Nashville Predators, putting up 12 goals, 23 assists, 17 PPP, 187 SOG, 4 GWG and a surprising 100 blocks, which is only 33 shy of last yea...

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...
