Axel Sandin Pellikka - Signs entry-level contract Sandin Pellikka signed a three-year, entry-level contract with Detroit on Monday.
Impact Sandin Pellikka generated 10 goals and 18 points in 39 games with Skelleftea AIK of the SHL during the 2023-24 regular season. He also earned two goals and five assists in 14 playoff outings en route to helping his team become SHL champions. The Red Wings selected the 19-year-old blueliner with the No. 17 overall pick in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft. Sandin Pellikka could get a long look at training camp in the fall before being loaned back to his Swedish team.

Dylan Larkin - Unavailable for World Championship Larkin won't represent Team USA at the 2024 IIHF World Championship because of an undisclosed injury, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact Larkin will use the offseason to recover instead, which should put him on track to be available for training camp in the fall. He finished the 2023-24 season with 33 goals and 69 points in 68 appearances.

HockeyBuzz.com - Jeremy Laura - Wings sign prospect Andrew Gibson to ELC, heading to Grand Rapids NHL Hockey Trade Rumors
APRIL 28 • HOCKEYBUZZ.COM
Andrew Gibson - Signs entry-level deal Gibson signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Red Wings on Sunday.
Impact Gibson had 12 goals and 44 points with the Soo Greyhounds in the OHL last season. Detroit's second-round pick in 2023 isn't likely to offer much offensive production, though he could develop into a steady defensive presence. Gibson will likely open the 2024 campaign with AHL Grand Rapids.
APRIL 28 • ROTOWIRE
Dylan Larkin - Sets bar higher in ninth season Larkin finished with more points than games played for the first time in his nine-year career, adding 33 goals and 36 assists through 68 contests.
Impact A fierce competitor, Larkin fought to the bitter end of the regular season, and had it not been for the captain's late-season surge -- including the speedster producing two goals and five assists in the final four games -- the Wings wouldn't have had even the slightest hope for a playoff berth in those final moments of the 2023-24 campaign. Larkin appeared in five playoff games as a rookie in 2016, but the Wings haven't returned to the postseason since then. Staying healthy and solidifying his chemistry with Alex DeBrincat on the top line will be crucial steps in getting Larkin where he needs to be from both a fantasy standpoint and in terms of his playoff aspirations.

APRIL 20 • HOCKEYBUZZ.COM
Olli Maatta - Caps off productive campaign Maatta posted four goals, 14 assists, 96 blocked shots and a team-leading plus-14 rating through 72 games this season.
Impact Maatta didn't post any type of stat that would enthrall the masses in fantasy hockey, but he was efficient for a retooled Red Wings blue line that had desperately needed cohesion and greater consistency compared to the prior campaign. The 2024-25 campaign will be a contract year for Maatta before he'd be able to hit the open market as an unrestricted free agent.
APRIL 20 • ROTOWIRE
Jake Walman - Robust totals in abbreviated season Walman finished the season with a career-high 21 points (12 goals, nine assists) to complement 42 hits and 151 blocked shots through 63 games.
Impact Walman was bogged down by an illness in January and a lower-body issue limited him to two games in the season's final month. But when healthy, Walman surfaced with a series of special moments. The skilled defenseman surged to a three-point performance while facing the Predators in the penultimate contest of 2023, and his penalty-shot goal in overtime against the Canucks on Feb. 11 roused the home crowd. Walman's industrious style of play makes him a good fit in Detroit, though he may a bit too injury prone to stay on fantasy rosters for a sustained period of time.
APRIL 20 • ROTOWIRE
Christian Fischer - Discouraging finish in Motown Fischer completed his debut campaign with the Red Wings, adding five goals, 14 assists and 138 hits through 79 games. He was neutral in the plus-minus category.
Impact Despite a bottom-six role, Fischer has proven that he's capable of providing a decent amount of offense, but his production screeched to a halt at a time that the Red Wings were desperate in their attempts to clinch a playoff berth. Fischer was held without a point for the final 12 games, failing to provide ancillary scoring for the Original Six club that indeed failed to make its way into the postseason. This very well could end up being a "one-and-done" stint for Fischer in the Motor City, as the physical winger is a pending unrestricted free agent.
APRIL 20 • ROTOWIRE
Ben Chiarot - Caps off well-rounded campaign Chiarot finished with five goals, 15 assists, 163 hits and 167 blocked shots for the 2023-24 campaign.
Impact Chiarot averaged 19:47 of ice time in his second season with the Red Wings and 11th career campaign in general. He's a serviceable blueliner, albeit not the type that will captivate the masses in fantasy hockey. Chiarot's power-play role was left behind in Montreal when the Habs dealt him to the Panthers in March of 2022, and the Wings have since rendered him more of a stay-at-home style of defenseman. Chiarot is halfway through a four-year, $19 million deal with the Wings, and there's a modified no-trade clause baked in there as well.
APRIL 20 • ROTOWIRE
Joe Veleno - Improves in fourth year Veleno finished with 12 goals, 16 assists and a minus-16 rating through 80 games of the 2023-24 campaign.
Impact Veleno established new career highs for goals and helpers, but that should be taken with a grain of salt, as this was just his fourth year in the league, including a five-game sample in the 2020-21 campaign. When Veleno was drafted in the first round (No. 30 overall) in 2018, the consensus thought among hockey pundits was that the skilled forward would rapidly evolve into a top-six skater with heavy utilization on the power play, but that hasn't materialized. Veleno took a pay cut ahead of last season and ended up with a one-year, $825,000 contract to remain with the Wings. The 24-year-old is set to become a restricted free agent after showing modest improvement this season.
APRIL 20 • ROTOWIRE
Justin Holl - Opportunities scarce in Motown Holl was a part-time player for the Red Wings in 2023-24, with five assists representing his point total through 38 games.
Impact Expectations were high for Holl since the Wings granted him a three-year, $10.2 million contract last summer, but the right-shot defenseman wasn't utilized nearly as often as he was with the Maple Leafs for the first six years of his NHL career. Last season, Holl picked up a pair of goals, 16 assists, 139 blocked shots and 151 hits in 80 games for Toronto, and he averaged 20:14 of ice time. The Wings' blue line was much more crowded in comparison this year, leaving Holl as the odd-man out in terms of opportunities.
