Even though the Stanley Cup was awarded at the beginning of the summer, the work is still not done. There was the NHL draft and all teams hope their prospects will turn out to be stars and stick around in the long run. On June 30th the free agent frenzy began. The Red Wings re-signed some players and picked up some new ones. Most recently Chris Osgood retired, I was sad to see him go. He was a great goalie and I hope he makes it into the Hall of Fame. Today the Wings signed Ty Conklin (he was a Red Wing a few years ago and we need a backup to Jimmy Howard). I'm happy the Red Wings re-signed former Spartan Drew Miller earlier this summer. I was able to see him play for the green and white when I was in college. Besides players many coaches are moving to other teams or being promoted to assistant coaches or head coaches.
To get my hockey fix I've been listening to the radio and watching the NHL network. It's awesome getting news about players being signed, traded, re-signing, etc.
So who knows what else will happen this summer. I can't wait until prospects camp and training camp in September! The NHL seasons starts up in October so hopefully it comes fast!
