Duff: Five questions with Wings GM Ken Holland | Windsor Star

Detroit Red Wings 2014 NHL Draft preview – Hockey’s Future
Taking a look at what the Wings need, and what the Wings might do at this years draft.
Restrospective: Red Wings Bertuzzi, Samuelsson | Sports – Home
While he struggled this past season, Bertuzzi was a great player for us. He really did contribute, and he did fit into the team. And although this most recent stint for Samuelsson was not the greatest, he was a decent player during his first stay in Detroit. Let’s not forget that.

Penguins’ Sidney Crosby named NHL MVP for 2nd time | USA Today
You really cannot argue against this. Hate him or love him, Crosby is one talented player.
Dominic Moore wins the 2014 Masterton Trophy | Puck Daddy – Yahoo Sports
Moore certainly deserved this award. Although I am sure that it is incredibly bittersweet for him.
Keith edges Weber, Chara for his second Norris Trophy | ProHockeyTalk
Are Keith, Chara, and Weber the three best defenseman in the NHL right now? Keith and Weber certainly are, but I think it is a fair argument to place either Suter or Doughty ahead of Chara. Or Erik Karlsson, if he was just a more well-rounded player.

I don’t know if its just me, or if this is a common occurrence, but I keep on forgetting that the Hurricanes exist. Every time I read something about them I always remember that there is a team in the Carolinas. This was one of those occurrences.
Bruins’ Tuukka Rask wins Vezina Trophy | ProHockeyTalk
In my book it was Rask or Bishop. Rask ended up receiving 16 first place votes while Bishop only received one. Howard did not receive any votes.
Don’t be afraid of Ales Hemsky in NHL free agency – SBNation.com
If the Wings do not bring back Alfie, I hope that Hemsky is one of the options that they will consider. He is a good player, and could certainly produce 50ish points in a season.

Ducks’ Murray takes GM of the Year award | ProHockeyTalk
I am kind of surprised that Holland received one first place vote. I know that he managed our injury crisis well, but the Legwand trade was not the greatest, and outside of signing Alfredsson, his moves have not worked out too well recently.
Patrice Bergeron wins NHL15 cover vote over P.K. Subban: Report | Puck Daddy – Yahoo Sports

Let’s Go Red Wings!
