In 2028, Dylan Larkin's full NTC shifts to a 10 team trade list. He should just shift to that 10 team trade list now if he really wants to be moved. Seems like the logical move 🤷🏼‍♂️ #LGRW #RedWings

The Grind Line Podcast @grindlinepod.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

Bottom line this morning: If Steve Yzerman can not adapt to the way the NHL is shifting and how players are being evaluated and paid, especially with the rapidly rising cap, the Red Wings need a change at GM. Accept that things are changing or get passed up. #LGRW #RedWings

Final 32 thoughts of the season, Friedman says his peace on the Red Wings: - Larkin's value went up after the Leo Carlsson offersheet. Yzerman will draw that line harder now. - Not convinced Yzerman wants to start the season with the distraction but also that no trade is better than a bad trade.

5 fights last season. 7 the year before. 4th in the entire NHL in hits over the last four years combined. Keegan Kolesar knows exactly why he's in Detroit, and might have a little of that Darren McCarty energy. Does that comparison hold up for you? #LGRW #RedWings #NHLFreeAgency

The Viktor Arvidsson add helps to fix a huge hole for the Wings, 5v5 scoring. The only players last season with more 5v5 points per 60 than Arvidsson? MacKinnon and Kucherov. That's the whole list. 54 points in 69 games for Boston. 42 at 5v5. Thoughts? #LGRW #RedWings

We have a trade! The Red Wings acquire Keegan Kolesar who had 6g and 11a for 17p through 82 games with Vegas last season. He's here for the PK and to beat people up I guess? We send Vegas a 7th in '27, plus a 2029 3rd round pick. Has to mean someone is moving out of the bottom 6. #LGRW

Rumbling around town that the Red Wings might be kicking the tires on Anders Lee today. He's turning 36 in a couple of days. Still a .5ppg player, but the opposite direction I'd be going. #LGRW #RedWings

A sneaky pick up for the Red Wings' on July 1st? Eeli Tolvanen. Not a needle mover, but a 0.5 PPG guy with 187 hits in 78 games who'd actually fix the bottom six if Ras or Compher get moved out. 27 years old, aggressive forward, easy add. #LGRW #RedWings #NHL
