The Detroit Red Wings open their annual development camp in Detroit, featuring a mix of draft picks, free agents, and notable Russian prospects, while dealing with injuries and off‑ice development programs.

Minnesota moved up to the 83rd overall pick, selecting the 6‑foot‑4 forward from Sweden while also securing a future selection in the deal.

Bill Guerin’s five‑year stint as Minnesota Wild GM blends solid drafting, selective trades and careful contract work, setting the club up as a genuine Stanley Cup threat despite a few missteps.
