This is expected to be a hectic summer for general manager Steve Yzerman and the Detroit Red Wings. Detroit is expected to be engaged in a plethora of trade talks as the organization appears poised with a stockpile of draft capital and plenty of talented prospects to acquire a superstar-caliber player if they so choose. The NHL Draft is also less than a month away, and the Detroit Red Wings are expected to be active in free agency this summer, which begins on July 1st.
With all that being said, Yzerman and the Detroit Red Wings have plenty of work to accomplish regarding their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate.
