Who’s ready for some bad news? Detroit Red Wings draft pick and current Boston University Terrier defenseman Max Nicastro has been arrested in Beantown for allegedly raping a woman in a dormitory on campus. He is being held in Brighton while awaiting arraignment (scheduled for tomorrow). Nicastro is the second BU hockey player to get […]
Just a quick note this morning — Tomas Holmstrom, who left last night’s game against the Nashville Predators with an undisclosed lower body injury, will not be available for tonight’s game against the St. Louis Blues. News has leaked that Homer suffered a groin injury at some point late in the second period. Replacing him […]
According to a team official, the Detroit Red Wings have returned Brendan Smith to the Grand Rapids Griffins after a nine-day call-up. In that time, Smith served the final game of his suspension, played three games on the West Coast road trip, and was a healthy scratch against the Calgary Flames. Initially, he was to […]
Word out of Motown this morning that the Wings have taken another step forward in securing their future between the pipes, as they have signed 19-year-old Petr Mrazek to a three year entry level contract. As Petrella pointed out on Twitter, since Mrazek is currently playing in juniors, the deal won’t kick in util next […]
When Fabian Brunnstrom signed earlier this month, the Red Wings committed their fiftieth contract for the 2011-12 season, the maximum allowed under the collective bargaining agreement.

He’s as highly touted a prospect the Wings have had in nearly a decade; coupled with the fact that there was a bit of turnover on the blue line, there […]

Among the first cuts were goaltender Petr Mrazek, forward Brooks Macek, and 2011 Draft Picks Xavier Ouellet, Ryan Sproul, and Alan Quine — to name a few. All of the players were Juniors-bound, […]
The Detroit Red Wings have opted not to sign a pair of prospects, thereby losing their exclusive rights. Right Winger Nick Oslund and Defenseman Bryan Rufenach are free to sign with another NHL club, or any professional team, now that Detroit has allowed their rights to lapse. Both players, however, have accepted amateur tryouts and will […]
When the Red Wings released the prospect tournament camp roster earlier today, there was one name that we weren’t terribly familiar with yet: undrafted goaltender Ramis Sadikov of the Erie Otters. Of the seven tryouts, he was the only one that wasn’t in attendance at the strength and conditioning camp in July. So who is […]
Once again, the Red Wings will be hosting the 2011 NHL Prospect Tournament in Traverse City this September. Each summer, the tournament boasts some of the finest incoming hockey talent and the organization released the roster that will be representing the Winged Wheel in a press release a few moments ago: FORWARDS 14 Gustav Nyquist […]
