Since somehow the previous GM of the Red Wings came into the draft with only 61 players on the reserve list and 41 contracts going into 2025-26, so have space for such frivolity.
Though we would also like to announce the rights to Alexander Kadeykin (why do we even still have them?), Kienan Draper (nepo-baby) and Maximilian Kilpinen will be released too.
And prospects Brady Cleveland and Jack Phelan will be immediately traded for... well... anything anyone is willing to part with, as we wasted a 2nd and 5th round pick on such players and would like to reclaim any value whatsoever while also freeing up reserve list space.
To give us a nice 71 player reserve and 48 player contract list with the seven incoming UFA prospects (4/7 who will play AHL immediately) a big upgrade on the five let go!
