An ESPN analyst says the Detroit Red Wings’ biggest storyline could soon be resolved. On the Frankly Hockey podcast, recorded Friday, Oct. 16, John Buccigross said he has information pointing to a blockbuster deal.
The Detroit Red Wings found a way to win on Saturday night. Unfortunately, they also found another way to make things more difficult than necessary. Despite overcoming a two-goal deficit in the third period to defeat the San Jose Sharks 4-3 in a shootout, the Red Wings' penalty kill once again left plenty to be desired.
The clock on Dylan Larkin’s time with the Detroit Red Wings might finally be running. Speaking on the Oct. 16 edition of Frankly Hockey with John Buccigross, the ESPN broadcaster said he expects a trade “within seven to 10 days in Detroit,” and when co-host Frank Seravalli asked if the player involved was the former captain, he said yes.

People love a good mid-round draft pick that pans out, and in the NHL you used to see those fairly often, but that’s obviously partially luck. If the Red Wings thought Nicklas Lidstrom was going to become a top-five defenseman in history, they wouldn’t have waited until the 53rd pick to take him.

The Dylan Larkin trade rumors keep gaining momentum, but a couple of new wrinkles suggest that both the forward and the Detroit Red Wings might be shifting their plans.
Since the Red Wings removed Steve Yzerman from their general manager role, the focus has been on who the new permanent GM will be.

People will talk about the “Mount Rushmore” for a franchise, which is to say the four people, usually four players, that most define the franchise. Not always the four-best players, but the four that evoke the essence of the franchise.
The Detroit Red Wings have a vacancy that won't be filled simply by finding their best player. Following the decision to remove Dylan Larkin as captain before the season, the Red Wings must determine who will become the next player to wear the "C" on the Winged Wheel at some point.
