Los Detroit Red Wings They have been one of the most active teams in the offseason. The team of Derek Lalonde has armed himself with contracts of short duration and money to many veterans and some young people like Alex DeBrincat. the GM Steve Yzerman he’s confident Detroit will end its seven-year playoff drought. The Red Wings acquired DeBrincat in a trade almost as a gift with the Senators and without giving much in return. On top of that, they’ve acquired veteran forwards like Compher, Sprong and others. In defense they added Gostisbehere and Holl added to the goalie James Reimer.
The philosophy Detroit is to give contracts of a few years (1 or 2) and a few million dollars. except the extension to the 4-year, $31.5 million DeBrincat, the rest of the acquisitions are a calculated risk to the Red Wings. Detroit has a lot of young stuff with great speed and potential on its front line. DeBrincat will now be in that front line along with Larkin and Lucas Raymond.
The team added a veteran and proven champion last season as David Perron. Yzerman is there where he saw an opportunity to add a little more veteranship to balance the team a little better. Compher, Gostisbehere and Sprong meet that player profile that they acquired a few days ago. Klim Kostin and Christian Fischer they were acquired under short contracts (two and one year respectively). Defender ex Leaf, Justin Holl, He is the only one who signed for three years.
DeBrincat forced his way out of Ottawa and joins the team of his loves
Alex DeBrincat wanted to play in Michigan having been born there. The Senators are the ones who lose face, having given prospects to Chicago last year for what turned out to be a rent 1 year. The Sens they stayed closer to the playoffs than Detroit, but DeBrincat didn’t want to play in Ottawa anymore. DeBrincat signed a four-year extension and an annual average of almost eight million. DeBrincat is a young player who twice put up 70-plus points in one season.

DeBrincat is fast and a winger Right that has a lot of potential. Now the question with him is whether much of his success was due to having Patrick Kane next door for many years in the Blackhawks. In the Sens, DeBrincat had a decent campaign of 27 goals and 39 assists. Detroit let go Dominic Cuban to Ottawa and a conditional 2024 first-round pick. The Sens were left with little but their hands were tied with a player who didn’t want to be there anymore.
DeBrincat will play in the front line next to a center playmaker as Dylan Larkin. The Red Wings captain is one of the fastest players in the NHL. Lucas Raymond He is another electrifying wing and one who has responded since his arrival in the NHL in 2018. That front line will be very good for Detroit next season.
Detroit added youngsters like Fischer and Kostin and the rest veteran veterans like Compher and Sprong
The Red Wings grabbed JT Compher who seemed already lost in Colorado. Compher was one of those weak links in the champion Avalance who was unable to defend his crown due to injuries and little depth at center. Compher could play as the 2nd line center alongside David Perron and a young man like Jonatan Berggren.
Daniel Jump arrives from Seattle to anchor the third line along with Copp and Fabbri. Sprong is a physical forward and he could add more grinding to the team. Klim Kostin arrives from Edmonton where he didn’t play as much because of the coach’s decision and narrowly fit in his position. Fischer is young and comes from los Yotes to be the winger on the left side in that fourth line.
In defendingFormer Flyer Shane Gostisbehere is still a good defenseman, albeit no longer with the big attacking numbers at the start of his career. Healthy state, he is a defender who can help on both sides of the ice and who can help on the power play with his still good shot. Justin Holl could be your partner in the 2nd line. Holl was blamed in Toronto for several mistakes and a change of scenery could change his career. In goal, Vinnie Husso will have support with a reliable veteran like James Reimer that comes from the Sharks. With Nedeljkovic’s departure to the Pens, goaltending will be key for Detroit.
