Detroit remains without a GM four weeks before camp.

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated Aug 211 min read

What happened: Moritz Seider addressed Detroit's unsettled offseason Friday during the NHL/NHLPA European Player Media Tour in Munich. He said players also bear responsibility for the club's three consecutive March collapses.

Why it matters: The Red Wings are navigating Dylan Larkin's trade request while searching for Steve Yzerman's successor. The unresolved leadership questions leave major roster decisions pending before the 2026-27 season.

By the numbers: Seider played all 82 games in 2025-26, setting career highs with 10 goals, 50 assists and 60 points while averaging 25:40 of ice time. Detroit finished 41-31-10 with 92 points, seven short of a playoff berth.

What to watch: Training camp opens Sept. 17, putting the GM search and Larkin's expected return on the next deadline.
