Detroit red wings protected list2/12/2024 ![]() The current players will be looking to prove that wrong, of course. When will Simon Edvinsson and Marco Kasper be ready to not just play in the NHL, but to be difference-makers? How will the current young roster players continue to evolve, taking steps like the ones Jake Walman and Michael Rasmussen did this season? And of course, what supplemental moves will Detroit make via trades and free agency?īut without knowing what those supplemental moves will be, it’s not unreasonable to think it could now be two or more years before Detroit is a playoff team, and two or more beyond that before it’s a legit Cup contender. It’s a hard one to answer because of all the variables. That’s inevitably going to push things back.Īnd even though the value was actually quite good on both deals, it all raises a question that’s been hard to shake ever since the deadline: When is this rebuild supposed to end? In fact, multiple readers asked some variation of that exact question this week. But when you combine that with Hronek - a productive two-way right-shot defenseman in his prime - the Red Wings subtracted top-half-of-the-lineup players in exchange for picks who won’t make significant impacts in Detroit for at least three years. It doesn’t sound like the Red Wings were ever close to an extension with Tyler Bertuzzi, so his departure (whether by trade or in free agency) was likely inevitable. There’s no doubt that the moves Detroit made last week pushed back its timeline. So, I guess the question is, does this move it forward, set it back, or keep it on pace? - Scott C. No props bets for me this week, but do check Flip Livingstone's column for ideas.Note: Some questions have been lightly edited for clarity and length.īiggest point of contention seems to be how this (trade deadline) affects the rebuild timeline. While it would be SO cute to play Patrick Kane, the utility skater is Jeff Skinner ($6000) as the Sabres host the Canadiens. On defense, I've added Torey Krug ($4500) to my Blues' contingent, and Adam Fox (inexplicably just $5600) against Washington. Ottawa is an interesting team to predict – in their last five defeats, they've given up 23 goals, but in five wins since November 11, only eight.Ĭenters Thomas and Nelson, wingers Fabbri, Byfield, and Neighbours, and goalie Binnington. Robby Fabbri ($5300), who's never been short on talent – just long on injuries – has four MULTI-point games in Detroit's last five. Kane will be given opportunity, and will find the scoresheet. In his long-anticipated return, Patrick Kane ($5500) skated for 16:33 and had three shots, but the Wings lost to San Jose. Patty-Kake? Ottawa Senators Detroit Red Wings. And yes, I'll play Jordan Binnington ($8000) as my starter. I was surprised to fit in Robert Thomas ($5600), the top line and top PP center – and two goals Friday night in a losing effort. Louis is the only NHL team that's won all of their games, when they've scored first. Kyrou leads the team with 84 shots on goal but has just a 6% conversion thus far, which is unsustainable. ![]() It's tempting to play the entire second line of Brayden Schenn ($4700), Jordan Kyrou ($5600), and Jake Neighbours ($3900) to rebound on a back-to-back – but I'm especially high on Neighbours, who has eight goals in the Blues' last ten matches. When was Soderblom's last start where he surrendered fewer than three goals? October 16. Avoid Arvid Soderblom ($7200), likely starting for the Hawks (check GoaliePost for the latest goaltending updates). But hot Quinton Byfield ($4600) has had 14 points in the last nine of those away victories. For the Isles, Noah Dobson ($7200) is a great play on the back end, and shockingly low-cost Kyle Palmieri ($4300), who's on Brock Nelson's ($6300) wing and the first power-play unit. But wait – it has to end sometime, and Ilya Sorokin ($7500) could be the one to steal a 3-2 win, while the Kings are looking at a Sunday measuring-stick game against the Rangers. Woe to be the New York Islanders? The Los Angeles Kings are here to visit – and as impolite visitors, the Kings have won all of their first 11 games, an all-time NHL record to start a season. But look more closely – the difference on December 9 is only five points. Without a single player in the NHL's top 50 in scoring, the Flyers have found a way, especially on the road (8-4-1). On the other side of Pennsylvania, a younger, hungrier team sits in the second spot in the Metropolitan Division. Reilly Smith scored his first goal since November 4, just an example of how shallow this team has been beyond Sidney Crosby and a very few others. Their power play, now 0-for-recent memory, has to wake up if the Pens have any chance to rescue their 11-12-3 start, now tied with Montreal for 12th place in the East. The Pittsburgh Penguins looked a lot better against the Panthers last evening, but were again unable to find the net more than once. 2023-24 Fantasy Hockey Guide Dobber’s 18th Annual Guide.
