I have more things to say about Mortiz Seider, the future of the Red Wings, and a lot more as we prepare to welcome back pro hockey to our TVs. I would have appreciated St. Louis in the Central with the Red Wings, and perhaps that could still happen? The rest of the teams, including the Toledo Walleye, are expected to join the others and start playing on Jan. 15. The Red Wings have seven prospects playing in this tournament:🇸🇪 Team Sweden -- five Red Wings prospects:🇫🇮 Team Finland -- one Red Wings prospect:🇨🇿 Team Czech Republic -- one Red Wings prospect:Seider rules 💪🇩🇪Of course, as you may have heard, German defenseman Moritz Seider (round 1, 6th overall in 2019 draft) has decided not to participate in this tournament. In 44 career NHL games with Detroit and Toronto, he has four goals and five assists.

DETROIT – The Detroit Red Wings traded the rights to forward Dmytro Timashov to the New York Islanders for future considerations. Timashov, the Ukrainian-born Swede who turned 24 in October, appeared in five games with the Red Wings in 2019-20 after the team claimed him off waivers from Toronto on Feb. 24. In 44 career NHL games with Detroit and Toronto, he has four goals and five assists. The Maple Leafs drafted Timashov in the fifth round in 2015. ___For more AP NHL coverage: https://apnews.com/NHL and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports
