## Resource

Detroit Red Wings GM Steve Yzerman isn’t rushing to buy out players—even with the deadline looming—preferring minors over cap relief, thanks to the long-term financial drag buyouts create. With cap space comfortably available, trade options like J.T. Compher and Michael Rasmussen look more likely than buyouts. Meanwhile, young prospects Kienan Draper and Trey Augustine ignite Grand Rapids, while Theo Rochette aims to follow Swiss star Pius Suter’s path. Off-ice, Mattias Svanberg—son of a 1985 Red Wings draft pick—scores for Sweden’s national team. Elsewhere, the Florida Panthers are Cup favorites, Colorado’s PWHL coach promotion sparks buzz, and Pittsburgh locks down Oliver Okuliar.
