What the Red Wings Need to Level Up This Offseason

Hi everybody, and welcome to  Red Wings Rant: Where tirades and impassioned pleas about your Detroit Red Wings finally have a home. 

The Red Wings have just 8 games left, are 4 points out of a playoff spot, and own the toughest remaining schedule in the NHL. After yet another soul-crushing loss, we’re here to say what everyone’s thinking: it’s not technically over... but it’s over.

In this episode, we break down why this collapse should spark bigger changes than most fans expect—especially with Detroit’s all-time worst Penalty Kill dragging the team down. We talk potential roster turnover, and why the Wings must be in the mix for impact forwards like Nikolaj Ehlers, Mitch Marner, Sam Bennett, and Brock Boeser.

We also pitch Vladislav Gavrikov as a defensive target, and react to Trey Augustine’s decision to return to MSU for another year instead of turning pro.

It’s a tough time to be a Wings fan—but this is the Rant. Let’s get into it.
