Meanwhile, NHL arbitration is mostly complete, but some restricted free agents—including Red Wings defenseman Simon Edvinsson—remain unsigned, adding uncertainty for next season.

Red Wings Go Physical with Kolesar | Detroit Red Wings News

Detroit’s Red Wings are turning up the heat on the ice, signing tough-as-nails Keegan Kolesar to become the centerpiece of a new physical identity. With over 230 hits a season for five years and a massive 6’2”, 217-pound frame, Kolesar brings relentless physicality. He joins a growing roster of hitters — including Emmitt Finnie, rookies Carter Mazur and Michael Brandsegg-Nygard, and possibly even defenseman Moritz Seider — aiming to push six players past 150 hits. After finishing near the bottom in hits per 60 minutes last season, the team’s goal is to join elite clubs like the Rangers, Panthers, and Senators — squads opponents dread facing. This bold shift could transform the Red Wings into a franchise that’s not just tough to play against, but downright intimidating.
