Red Wings News & Rumors: Final Cuts, Aston-Reese & More
October 9, 2023 by Devin Little
Final cuts loom large as the Detroit Red Wings’ first game of the 2023-24 season is just days away. While there were plenty of stand-outs throughout training camp and the preseason, there are only so many spots on the roster, and tough decisions have to be made. It looks like the Red Wings will begin the season with an unorthodox roster configuration. For better or for worse, a lot of talent was left off the NHL roster, at least to start the season.
Despite that fact, general manager (GM) Steve Yzerman seems hellbent on ensuring his team’s depth chart is not an issue to start this season. In fact, he recently signed another forward to further fill out the organization’s depth. But before we can get into that, let’s figure out who is on the NHL roster and who is on the outside looking in.
