NHL Free Agency Opens Today

The 2025 NHL free agency cycle is about to begin — later today at noon, NHL teams will “begin” their bids for unrestricted free agents. Problem is, all of the big names are off the list! The Red Wings took care of some pending free agents on Monday — Patrick Kane and Jonatan Berggren are back on one-year deals, while Albert Johansson earned himself a two-year extension.

Red Wings Sign Elmer Soderblom to a Two-Year Deal

Red Wings GM Steve Yzerman has completed his offseason tasks as it relates to restricted free agents. On Wednesday, the team announced that forward Elmer Soderblom has a signed a two-year deal with an AAV of $1.125 million. Soderblom, a sixth round pick in 2019, is a towering net-front presence that has soft hands that I liken to Tomas Holmstrom. The six-foot-eight forward has 19 points in 47…

Quick Hits: Red Wings Needs Remain After Day 1 of Free Agency

Happy Wednesday and welcome to day two of NHL free agency. As I noted in my column last night, Detroit added some value/depth on the cheap yesterday. Bad news is that most of the big names are signed elsewhere, but a few interesting names are still on the market. Will we get any movement from Detroit today? Your guess is as good as mine. Detroit still has over $15 million in cap space…

Red Wings Add Depth, Still Maintain Buying Power

Maybe not the “splash” that most wanted see on day one of NHL free agency, but the Red Wings picked up a few potentially valuable players at bargain-bin prices on Tuesday. The biggest move was signing veteran forward James van Riemsdyk to a one-year deal for a measly $1 million. JVR is 36 years old, great pedigree, and one of the better net-front players in the NHL. The value is excellent for…

Johansson, who had a fabulous rookie season, earned himself a two-year deal with $1.125 AAV. Berggren is back on a one-year contract paying him $1.825 million.

Red Wings Trade Vladimir Tarasenko to Wild

The writing has been on the wall for some time now, and the hammer has finally dropped. Vladimir Tarasenko’s time in Detroit is over. The team announced on social media that the Russian winger has been traded to Minnesota in exchange for future considerations. No salary was retained in this deal, so this is a pure cap dump for Detroit to the tune of some $4.75 million.
