Here's a quick roundup of recent Detroit Red Wings news and NHL developments like the trades and offer sheets.
Is Yaroslav Askarov a fit for the Detroit Red Wings?
Reports from Nashville suggest that goalie Yaroslav Askarov has requested a trade and is opting not to report to the AHL. With Juuse Saros locked in for eight years, Askarov's path to a starting role in the Nashville Predators seems blocked. While the Detroit Red Wings could be a potential destination, they will unlikely pursue him. With three goalies on the roster and top prospects like Sebastian Cossa and Trey Augustine in the pipeline, it doesn't align with Steve Yzerman's cautious approach. Plus, Yaroslav Askarov, at 22, has just three NHL games under his belt, which makes the move even riskier.

Where will they start the year?
Max Bultman of The Athletic recently speculated where the Detroit Red Wings top prospects might land this season. Marco Kasper and Carter Mazur could see NHL action, while Nate Danielson and Sebastian Cossa might spend the season in Grand Rapids. Interestingly, there's a chance Michael Brandsegg-Nygard could play in the AHL, though reports suggest he'll likely remain in the SHL.
