Hi everybody and welcome to Episode 206, Season 3 of Red Wings Rant: Where tirades and impassioned pleas about your Detroit Red Wings, finally, have a home.
The Detroit Red Wings defensive struggles overshadow any positives to be found from the Back-to-back games against Pittsburgh and Toronto. After giving up 5 goals in the 3rd period to the Toronto Maple Leafs we thought it was best to remind everyone that the future is bright and the present ain’t so bad either.
Besides Moritz Seider, the Red Wings haven’t gotten great defense, or even average performances, from anyone else. Marc Staal, Nick Leddy, Danny Dekeyser, Jordan Oesterle, and Filip Hronek have shown glaring weaknesses at one point or another.
That being said, the Red Wings could be a few moves away from having a strong defense if you take a look at the Unrestricted and Restricted Free Agent Markets. While many Wings fans have highlighted Hampus Lindholm as an option, a couple of cheaper options might be found in the restricted free agent market.
And let’s not forget that Simon Edvinsson and Albert Johansson, two strong defensive prospects for the Wings, will be fighting for a job next season as well.
