Red Wings: Overreaction trade Detroit must make amid inconsistent 2026-27 start

The Detroit Red Wings are going through some tough times on and off the ice. The Red Wings are still working through the Dylan Larkin trade request . Simon Edvinsson still wants a trade as well. And the team hasn’t been the strongest on the ice, either. Detroit does have some good things going for it, though. Viktor Arvidsson has been an incredible signing to this point in the season. Alex DeBrincat recently re-signed , giving the team some much-needed good news. And they have an intriguing young duo forming in center Emmitt Finnie and winger Michael Brandsegg-Nygard.
