Why the Richards Signing is Unnecessary for Red Wings
July 29th, 2015 Before I get into why I feel the Brad Richards signing was unnecessary, I would like to commend Ken Holland for going out and getting the Detroit Red Wings an insurance policy. His method has always been to create competition for spots within the Red Wings’ lineup, and this move certainly does that. Fellow THW writer Anthony Pucik...
Red Wings Sign Tomas Jurco
July 25th, 2015 The Detroit Red Wings and forward Tomas Jurco have come to terms on a two-year contract extension. The deal comes with an AAV of $900,000, according to Brendan Savage of MLive.com.

March 16th, 2015 Just over a week ago, fellow Red Wings Contributor Brandon Peleshok discussed whether sending forward Tomas Jurco back down to the Grand Rapids Griffins would allow him to rediscover his scoring touch. While I certainly agree that a trip to GR would benefit Jurco, who is waiver-exempt, I want to discuss why that could be a bad idea...

March 8th, 2015 Prior to the Detroit Red Wings vs. New York Rangers game last Wednesday, Mike Babcock made the decision to put Tomas Jurco on a line with Pavel Datsyuk and Tomas Tatar. The idea being that Jurco could provide a physical presence, and perhaps even get his own offensive game on track. Just two games later and Luke Glendening will be...
