The Red Wings' defense will look different in 2024-25, with
Jake Walman traded to San Jose and Gostisbehere leaving through free agency, resulting in 20 missing goals. The team will have nine defensemen at training camp: Gustafsson, Moritz Seider,
Ben Chiarot,
Olli Maatta,
Simon Edvinsson,
Jeff Petry,
Justin Holl,
William Lagesson, and
Albert Johansson. Seider, Petry, and Holl are the only right-shot defensemen. Edvinsson is likely to be in the second pairing with Petry.
