Good afternoon, y’all! The 2018-19 regular season is officially underway, though everyone knows the actual important game is tonight. Stanley Cup banner raisings? Pshh, the hockey party don’t start til the Red Wings skate in, and we all know it.
This offseason, while seemingly endless, has been one of more excitement and change than we’ve seen in a long time. Grabbing up projected-third-overall Filip Zadina in late June was a Big Deal. Following up with the additions of Joe Veleno, Jonatan Berggren, and Jared McIsaac with their next few picks seemed like a luxurious influx of talent into the Red Wings system that I don’t think any of us could have predicted.
