June 15, 2024 by Tony Wolak

Beckett Sennecke Is a Fit for the Red Wings at Pick 15
June 16, 2024 by Evan Sabourin
For the first time in seven years, the Detroit Red Wings are picking outside of the top 10 with their first pick in the NHL draft. The team has seen a substantial improvement in the standings ever since Steve Yzerman took over the general manager’s job in April 2019. The days of competing for a top spot in the lottery seem to be something of the past as the rebuild forges ahead in the Motor City. But what kind of player will Detroit select with the 15th overall pick when management takes the podium on June 28th at Sphere in Las Vegas, Nevada? The Red Wings should get an impact forward in a top-heavy draft of quality defensemen. In this article, we look at the Oshawa Generals’ Beckett Sennecke, a 6-foot-2, 181-pound right winger who could fill a “big” need for the club.

Hurricanes’ Mock Trade: Necas to Red Wings for Berggren & More
June 16, 2024 by Zach Martin
As June flies by, we are just over 14 days away from July 1 and the start of the re-sign and free agency period in the NHL. Teams are starting to understand what they might want to do to begin their 2024-25 season roster construction. Regarding the Carolina Hurricanes, they recently re-signed Jalen Chatfield to a three-year extension on June 14. However, there are a lot more moves to be made for the team that was the odds-on favorite to win the Stanley Cup at the start of the 2023-24 season. According to Frank Seravalli of Daily Faceoff, he believes that a handful of teams are interested in forward Martin Necas. He has been rumored to have privately told Carolina that he wants to move on despite being a restricted free agent (RFA) this summer. He had 24 goals and 53 points in 77 games this season after leading the team in points (71) the season before.
