Last Rant Before the Madness: Wings' Summer Strategy, Draft, and Free Agency Dreams
Update: 2025-06-26
Description
Hi everybody, and welcome to Red Wings Rant: Where tirades and impassioned pleas about your Detroit Red Wings finally have a home.
This week on Red Wings Rant, we break down our final thoughts ahead of the 2025 NHL Draft and free agency frenzy. Using Prashanth Iyer’s offseason blueprint and the Daily Faceoff Top 50 Free Agents list, we explore:
- How the Red Wings should leverage their draft capital
- Trade ideas to optimize the cap for the 2026-27 contention window
- Why Iyer Prashanth says Rasmus Andersson and Nikolaj Ehlers could be difference-makers
- Which contracts need to go, and who Detroit should target to fill depth gaps
- And finally, our boldest free agency hopes and dreams (yes, we mention Mitch Marner on last time)
Whether you're in the “stay patient” camp or ready to swing for the fences, this is your ultimate summer primer.
And the Red Wings unleashed a killer Centennial Logo and jersey announcement!
