Updated 7x at 11:46 AM: Of Red Wings-related note as this morning’s practice gets underway at Little Caesars Arena’s Belfor Training Center:
- From TSN’s Ryan Rishaug, via Kukla’s Korner:
Still no talks on a contract for Chiasson in Vancouver but the door remains open after a solid showing. Meanwhile Bobby Ryan’s PTO expires today in Detroit and no deal as of now.— Ryan Rishaug (@TSNRyanRishaug) October 11, 2021
2. And, from MLive’s Ansar Khan (prepare for inline updates):
#RedWings on ice for practice. Don’t see Ryan. Raymond and Veleno skating with team. 23–man roster must be set by 5 p.m. today. pic.twitter.com/VBzG9TO163— Ansar Khan (@AnsarKhanMLive) October 11, 2021
I will regrettably be leaving for a doctor’s appointment at 12:45, and the appointment will last from 1:15 to 3 PM, so I’ll catch up when I can.
3. Also from Paul Kukla:
Alex Nedeljkovic maintains his rookie status heading into the 2021-22 campaign as he joins the @DetroitRedWings. Last season, @alexned_ was named a Calder Trophy finalist after posting a 15-5-3 record.

Update #3: Good morning, Ted:
No Raymond, Veleno or Bobby Ryan on ice for today’s practice underway. Rasmussen and Smith, who’ve been hurt, are both on the ice. #RedWings— Ted Kulfan (@tkulfan) October 11, 2021
Good morning, Ted:
Take that back, there’s Raymond in Red jersey #RedWings— Ted Kulfan (@tkulfan) October 11, 2021
Good morning, Ted:
And there’s Veleno, No.90….so the youth movement might be beginning?— Ted Kulfan (@tkulfan) October 11, 2021
Update #4: Max Bultman weighs in:
Red Wings top six ahead of today’s roster deadline looks fairly set based on today’s practice
Raymond-Larkin-Bertuzzi
Fabbri-Suter-Zadina
But Detroit still rotating 8 other forwards practicing today for 7 roster spots and 6 lineup spots— Max Bultman (@m_bultman) October 11, 2021
Update #5: Good morning, Helene:
Red Wings have 14 forwards practicing this morning. With carrying 8 D, 2G, have to get down to 13 to submit 23-man roster by 5 p.m. Assignment to minors today doesn’t mean player won’t be recalled for Thursday opener.— Helene St. James (@HeleneStJames) October 11, 2021
Update #6: Bultman continues:
Only change on the Red Wings D is Marc Staal skating with Gustav Lindstrom and Troy Stecher skating with Jordan Oesterle— Max Bultman (@m_bultman) October 11, 2021
Good morning, Mr. Sears:
There are 23 players at practice today for Detroit. Lucas Raymond and Joe Veleno are here. Bobby Ryan is not. Make of that what you will.— Ethan Sears (@ethan_sears) October 11, 2021
Update #7: Also:
The top two lines have remained intact through practice. Lots of shuffling on third and fourth lines. Erne no longer out there.— Ansar Khan (@AnsarKhanMLive) October 11, 2021
Best to you George. Look forward to your coverage when you return. Interesting that maybe Raymond and Veleno are staying?
HSJ’s Tweet is a good reminder that, until Thursday, the roster is in flux. Here’s hoping that Raymond stays at least.
Agree!! He was making it tough to send him down, very tough
