Of note from Red Wings coach Todd McLellan’s press conference after the final day of training camp:
Red Wings' McLellan on last day of training camp: "I wasn't happy with our day today at all. I was happy with the kids, but I wasn't happy with our day. So we've got to take it back up here after their off days and get going and not waste a day."

#RedWings McLellan: "Today the kids were really good. They worked their butts off. They made plays, they executed better than the veteran players. It wasn't even close. That's a really good sign for our organization. Or maybe it isn't. It depends how you look at it." https://t.co/6SocQhiyux

#RedWings McLellan on Larkin and Edvinsson: "It gets going obviously a lot faster and more intense (in regular season). so if we can get them in one (preseason game) and get them up and running, then we're sure going to try. If not, then it's regular season and see what we get."

Red Wings' McLellan "hopeful" Edvinsson (un-signed) and Larkin (injured) will be available in coming week, because "If you don't play in a preseason game, that means you've got to play in a regular season game, and it gets going a lot faster and more intense then."

Todd McLellan did not shut the door on Dylan Larkin potentially playing in one of Detroit’s upcoming preseason games. #LGRW #RedWings
