Here’s what I’m watching most closely from Detroit as the offseason starts to heat up. Two months ago, as both Kane and Yzerman spoke of mutual interest in the star winger staying in Detroit, this felt like a layup — something that could maybe even get done early in the offseason.

The NHL is doing something different at this year's draft, but more than anything, the Detroit Red Wings need to get their picks right.

This trade proposal sees the Detroit Red Wings land forward Barrett Hayton from the Utah Mammoth in a three-asset deal.
