The Red Wings woke up this morning to post a “hype reel” illustrating that trade acquisition Keegan Kolesar can offer depth scoring and hard hitting, and I’ve got it on repeat as I await Patrick Kane’s free agency decision on Twitter:

Again, Kolesar is a bottom-six forward, but the 29-year-old’s toughness and leadership are two qualities that the Wings’ lineup has lacked for some time. It’s going to be better having this big guy (6’2,” 216 pounds) in the lineup.
