Roster Holes & Youth Movement

The Red Wings have $19.5M in cap space and a pending Edvinsson contract. Prospects like Kasper, Danielson, and Augustine are on the clock. A new profile on J.P. Hurlbert (2026 first-round pick) highlights his scoring touch and long-term project status (ETA 2029), adding depth to the prospect pipeline. The team faces roster holes after losing Kane and with Larkin's uncertain future, but cap flexibility offers options.
