2024 Offseason Preview ft. Detroit Red Wings

The Detroit Red Wings just missed out on the playoffs in the 2023-24 season, taking a major step forward from the previous season, and finished the season with a total of 91 points, good for a 41-32-9 record. Moving forward the Red Wings will continue to improve their team by building through the draft and adding free agents that Steve Yzerman feels will help the team in the future.

Detroit has 8 draft picks in the 2024 NHL draft, this is who they should select

2024 NHL Draft:

16-Michael Brandsegg Nygard (RW)

47- Simon Zether (C)

80-Teddy Stinga (LW)

128-Alexis Bernier (D)

144-Elliott Groenewold (D)

176-Owen Allard (C)

208-Charlie Cerrato (LW)

Though no big names jump out at you, this group of prospects is pretty solid and could play a vital role on the team a few years down the road. Adding Brandsegg Nygard, Simon Zether and Owen Allard are all two-way forwards capable of playing in all situations, Alexis Bernier and Elliott Groenewold are two solid defensemen with good upside, while Teddy Stinga and Charlie Cerrato have high offensive upside as dynamic offensive talents.


Heading into the 2024 Offseason, Detroit has approximately $28.87 Million in cap space for the 2024-25 season, with 3 key RFAs due for an extension and 6 UFAs set to be a free agent.


Here are the list of UFAs in 2024 for DET:

David Perron (LW/RW)-4.75M

Shayne Gostisbehre (D)-4.12M 

Patrick Kane (RW)-2.75M

Daniel Sprong (RW)-2M

James Reimer (G)-1.5M

Christian Fischer (RW)-1.1M

Detroit doesn't resign any of the pending UFAs


Key RFAs and extensions:

Moritz Seider (D)-8yrs/7.5M per

Lucas Raymond (RW/LW)-4yrs/5.5M per

Joe Veleno (C)-2yrs/1.7M per

After the extensions, the Red Wings have 14.17M in cap space left to spend on Free Agents to improve the team. 


Free Agent Signings:

Steven Stamkos (LW/C)-4yrs/5.5M per

Patrick Kane (RW)-1yr/4M

Alexandre Carrier (D)-4yrs/3M per

Alexandre Barabanov-1yr/2M

Christian Fischer (RW)-1yr/1M

Bringing back Patrick Kane and Christian Fischer makes sense because Kane was a major part of the team last year and was a major reason for their improvement from last year, while Christian Fischer adds grit and tenacity to the lineup. Steve Yzerman was the GM who drafted Steven Stamkos in Tampa Bay, and because of the departure of David Perron, a reunion could be in the works. Alexandre Carrier is a steady top 4 defenseman, who can help stabilize the blueline.


Because of the logjam on defense, a trade is made:

Detroit Red Wings trade Justin Holl to Utah for 4th round pick '23. 


Projected 2024-25 Detroit Red Wings

A.DeBrincat-D.Larkin-P.Kane

S.Stamkos-JT.Compher-L.Raymond

R.Fabbri-A.Copp-M.Rasmussen

J.Veleno-E.Soderblom-C.Fischer


J.Walman-M.Seider

B.Chiarot-J.Petry

S.Edvinsson-A.Carrier


V.Husso

A.Lyon

Spares: O.Maatta, A.Barabanov


This Team would be points to make a playoff run in the Atlantic Division, especially after Stealing Steven Stamkos from Tampa Bay and adding Alexande Carrier to round out the defense.

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...

2024 Offseason Preview ft. New Jersey Devils

The New Jersey Devils the playoffs in the 2023-24 season after making it into the second round of the playoffs last season, and finished the season with a total of 81 points, a 38-39-5 record; With Jack Hughes and Nico Hischier in the midst of their primes, the New Jersey Devils really need to start to buckle down and put together the pieces for a contending team. The good news is that the New Jersey Devils have the benefit of having the 10th overall pick, which they could move to acquire a netminder, and they also have plenty of cap space to add other players as well. This coming offseason is a big one for the New Jersey Devils front office because after striking out on a netminder last offseason, the pressure to acquire a netminder this offseason is immense for GM Tom Fitzgerald, who might be on the hotseat if he can't find a way to fix the mess. Before the 2024 NHL Draft, the New Jersey Devils make two major trades New Jersey Devils acquire Jacob Markstrom, Matthew Coronato, 1st...

 The St. Louis Blues just missed out on the playoffs again in the 2023-24 season, and finished the season with a total of 92 points, a 43-33-6 record; St. Louis is one of those teams that has no direction, as they are stuck with a lot of aging players with bad contracts and are stuck in mediocracy unless they can find a way to move some of those contracts. Moving forward the Blues' primary goals should be trying to unload their bad contracts to gain picks and cap space and retool through the draft.  St. Louis has 8 draft picks in the 2024 NHL draft, this is who they should select. 2024 NHL Draft: 16-Michael Hage (C) 48-Spencer Gill (D) 56-Carson Wetsch (RW) 81-Timur Kol (D) 94-Hagen Burrows (LW) 113-Felix Lacerte (C) 145-Dawson Cowan (G) 209-Jan Golcic (D) 211-Maxim Velikov (RW) Though no big names jump out at you, this group of prospects is pretty solid and could play a vital role on the team a few years down the road. Retooling the Prospect pool is a long process, but the cr...
