We dive into: • Why the Justin Faulk trade was necessary • How Faulk changes Detroit’s defensive structure • Todd McLellan’s impact on the Red Wings culture • The importance of depth without Dylan Larkin • Detroit’s upcoming gauntlet vs Florida, Tampa Bay, and Dallas • Playoff probability and how close Detroit really is The Red Wings are playing meaningful hockey again — but the next stretch of games will reveal whether this team is truly built for the playoffs.
