While nagging can build frustration, a little reminder never hurt anyone. The Detroit Red Wings have been a busy team over the last week. Like the rest of the NHL, they are dealing with the aftermath of a hectic trade deadline.

Last Sunday (March 9th, to be precise), Red Wings newcomers Petr Mrazek and Craig Smith joined the team for their first practice. Their new jersey numbers were also revealed at that time. Former Red Wing David Perron Heating Up Detroit Red Wings Schedule For March 2025 Can The Red Wings Make The Playoffs? Red Wings Playoff Chances Haven't Evaporated (Yet) So, you are saying there's a chance? The following day, the Red Wings took on the Ottawa Senators in a very important matchup. They ultimately lost the contest 2-1, with goaltender Linus Ullmark pulling out all the stops - 48 of them. Players can only participate in a playoff run if they are acquired by the NHL's Trade Deadline. However, teams are still allowed to make trades. The Red Wings AHL affiliate, the Grand Rapids Griffins, pulled off a minor deal with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins by acquiring defender Nikolai Knyzhov for future considerations. Swedish prospect Axel Sandin-Pellikka is having a season. Just this past week, he set an SHL record. Additionally, rumors are swirling that he will join the Red Wings once his SHL season and playoffs have reached their end. While this hasn't been officially confirmed at this time, all signs point to it being the case. The Red Wings broke a streak of bad luck by walloping the Buffalo Sabres 7-3. Patrick Kane had a huge night, recording two goals and three assists in 17:21 minutes of work to propel them to a victory. Another Swedish defenseman made headlines with the Red Wings last week. Anton Johansson signed a three-year entry-level contract with the team. The 6-foot-4 right-handed defender has played full-time in the SHL for the last two years and will report to the Griffins under an AHL tryout. And just when you thought things were going well, the Red Wings get handed another loss. This time, it came at the hands of the Carolina Hurricanes. Alex DeBrincat and Michael Rasmussen scored for the Red Wings in a 4-2 result. Thanks to Trey Augustine, Michigan State is going to the Big Ten Championship game. Augustine is having quite the season. He's already won a World Junior Gold Medal with Team USA this season, and adding another Big Ten Championship would put an emphatic exclamation point on his season. Finally, the Red Wings capped off their week by gaining ground on the final Eastern Conference Wild Card spot. They earned a 3-0 shutout victory over the Vegas Golden Knights. Mrazek earned an 18-save shutout while Albert Johansson, Lucas Raymond, and Marco Kasper contributed the run support. Never miss a story by adding us to your Google News favorites.

3 Special Red Wings Prospects That Are Untouchable
It's time to do work. The Detroit Red Wings aren't big players in this year's trade deadline. They aren't contenders, and they just got bumped out of a Wild Card position after Tuesday night's loss. The Red Wings are still rebuilding, but they appear closer than ever to closing that chapter of their story. To expedite the process, they need to acquire more young players who can have a big impact. Bookmark The Hockey News Detroit Red Wings team site to stay connected to the latest news, game-day coverage, and player features. To do so, they will need to give up assets. Right now, they have many prospects and draft picks they could use to acquire these impactful players. However, some of their prospects should remain with the team because they are better suited to be part of the solution instead of being an asset used to acquire another player. These are the three prospects that the Red Wings need to make sure they don't lose in any trades. The 19-year-old Axel Sandin-Pellikka is having a great season in the Swedish Hockey League (SHL). The 17th overall draft selection from the 2023 NHL Entry Draft is playing in his second season in the SHL and is improving on his offensive totals. HAT-TRICK AXEL SANDIN PELLIKKA! 🚨🚨🚨 — IcehockeyGifs (@IcehockeyG) December 26, 2024 Last year, he recorded 18 points in 39 games. This season, he has 26 points and counting in 43 games. Sandin-Pellikka has also improved on his 75 shots and 17:38 average ice time to 120 shots and 20:32 time on ice this season. Combine this with his stellar play at the World Juniors, and there is no way that you can rationalize trading a player of this caliber. 4 Red Wings Who Could Be Traded To New Teams The Detroit Red Wings will need to make decisions on these players.

The Grand Rapids Griffins net is in great hands. Sebastian Cossa has played a huge role in the AHL organization's success this season. Cossa is one of the best goaltenders in the AHL this season. He currently has a 16-10-5 record, a 2.38 goals against average (GAA), a .913 save percentage (SV%), and one shutout. With his great numbers, combined with his 6-foot-7, 220-lb frame, Cossa is shaping up to be a great starting goaltender. However, he will have some competition for that role in a few years. Finally, the Red Wings need to take a hard look if they ever consider trading Trey Augustine. Augustine may be smaller than Cossa, but his work this season isn't any less impressive. The 6-foot-1 and 183 lb netminder backstopped Team USA to a second straight World Junior Gold Medal. He's also been lights out in the NCAA. Augustine is in his second year with Michican State University. He currently has a 17-6-4 record to go with a 2.09 GAA, a .925 SV%, and two shutouts. Finding good offensive defenders and fantastic goaltenders is a tough job for an organization. The fact that the Red Wings have found multiple players to fill those roles is a big enough reason to keep those players around. What do you think of these prospects?
