Red wings' future uncertain: Lucas Raymond negotiations stalled, Jonatan Berggren on trading block

Recent reports suggest that contract negotiations with Raymond are "not close," raising concerns among fans as the season approaches. This isn't surprising-if they were close to an agreement, a deal would already be in place. There's still time before the regular season starts, and General Manager Steve Yzerman has a track record of getting deals done, as seen with Dylan Larkin.

Meanwhile, Jonatan Berggren, who has shown promise but hasn't quite secured his place, is rumored to be on the trading block. Yzerman might offer Berggren a one-year deal, but a guaranteed roster spot seems unlikely. As fans brace for possible changes, another story unfolds with Red Wings prospect Red Savage being named captain of the Michigan State University Spartans hockey team.

With these developments and the tough competition in the Atlantic Division, the Red Wings are in for a challenging season.
