Summary
The Detroit Red Wings turned up the heat in free agency, targeting scoring punch and toughness — and they delivered. Key signings like Viktor Arvidsson, a high-octane scorer who thrives at even strength, and Keegan Kolesar, a physical presence with playoff grit, fit the blueprint perfectly.

Backups like goalie Daniil Tarasov and depth pieces like Carter Mazur, Jacob Bryson, and Wilmer Skoog round out a smart, targeted roster rebuild.
