Detroit Red Wings make an announcement for the fans today

The 2025 offseason will be crucial for the Detroit Red Wings and General Manager Steve Yzerman. With many reports stating the GM is on a hot seat, he's under a lot of pressure to make the team better by the start of the next season. The organization is clearly aware of the high expectations from both ownership and the fan base, and every decision will be under the microscope.

To do so, critical decisions will need to be made over the coming weeks, with the NHL Draft and opening of free agency in less than two weeks.

Ahead of the draft, where the Wings will speak 13th overall, the organization made an announcement for fans on social media.

Indeed, the team invited fans to join them at the Draft Party, at Hockeytown Cafe, on June 27th.

With this year's draft being the first and likely only decentralized event, all teams will surely organize fan events, as we see in other major sports leagues.
