The NHL may be shut down for the next couple weeks, but the Red Wings story this season is still worth talking about — because Detroit is having their best year in over a decade.
With the trade deadline approaching, I wanted to look back at two of Steve Yzerman’s most impactful trades as GM of the Detroit Red Wings… and in my opinion, his two biggest wins so far:
🔥 Alex DeBrincat
🧱 John Gibson
DeBrincat currently leads Detroit with 30 goals, and he’s on pace to set a new career high. His current NHL best is 41 goals, and right now he’s trending toward 42 — while giving the Red Wings one of the most dangerous scoring threats they’ve had in years.
Meanwhile, John Gibson’s performance since the start of December has been one of the biggest reasons Detroit has been able to stabilize, win games, and build real momentum. His play has helped push the Red Wings toward what could be their best season in over a decade.
So in this episode of 7 Minute Wings, we’re breaking down:
Why the DeBrincat trade was a franchise-altering move
How Gibson has completely changed Detroit’s goaltending outlook
Why these trades stand out as Yzerman’s most successful deals
What it means as the trade deadline approaches
