Red Wings Final Grades - Forwards
April 16th, 2018 With the 2017-18 NHL season over, it’s time for the Detroit Red Wings to evaluate their performance and make roster decisions heading into the 2018 NHL Draft and free agency. As the rebuild progresses, this time becomes more and more important in producing Detroit’s next winner. During his press conference on locker clean out day,...
The Grind Line: Red Wings Next Big Move
March 5th, 2018 What’s The Grind Line? Apart from the once-famous line of Kris Draper, Kirk Maltby, and either Joe Kocur or Darren McCarty, The Grind Line is also The Hockey Writers’ weekly column about the Detroit Red Wings.

While it's easy...
Red Wings Nyquist & Tatar Are Expendable
February 11th, 2018 Gustav Nyquist and Tomas Tatar had unfair, albeit natural expectations as they rose to the Detroit Red Wings. Both of them were drafted outside the first round, spent years over-ripening in the minors, and burst onto the scene upon acclimation to the league. When they were called up, the team had a duo nearing the end of their time...
