The Red Wings’ defense situation for next season is complicated. With Simon Edvinsson showing this spring that he’s ready to play in Detroit full-time, Detroit GM Steve Yzerman now have seven defensemen under contract.
I’m sure if you asked most NHL players whether they’d want to make the playoffs or miss but get better in the long run by doing so, most players would take the playoffs.

David Perron got a text Sunday morning from Detroit Red Wings director of media relations Todd Beam with some news he would’ve preferred not to hear. “This guy Beamer texted me in the afternoon that I was two away from 300 (NHL goals),” Perron was explaining as he was gesturing toward Beam.
