It is Detroit Red Wings Wednesday on the DJC Morning Drive just as our heroes are wrapping up development camp in Traverse City.
It is an important development camp this year because Ken Holland is looking for his young players to fill the voids left by an unsuccessful free agency period. Development camp also offers a chance for the young players to build chemistry before the grind of pre-season training camps begin.

Just because the Wings failed in free agency does not mean they are giving up on landing a top defenseman. Trade rumors continue to swirl around Tyler Meyers and Mike Green. But acquiring these players won’t be easy, as the Wings will probably have to give up one of their young prospects to get the deal done.
All this and more on Detroit Red Wings Wednesday.
