This looks like it will be fun:

I’m not surprised here. Bowey was solid for the Wings from time to time, but he never found a home in Detroit.

DET does not qualify Madison Bowey.— Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) October 7, 2020

Update: The Free Press’s Helene St. James believes that the Wings moving on from Bowey = a roster spot for Moritz Seider:

The novel coronavirus pandemic makes it hard to make much in the way of plans, but Moritz Seider fits the bill of a right-shot defenseman. He is on loan to his old German club, Mannheim, but can be recalled whenever the NHL gives the green light to start training camps. 

The target date for the 2020-21 season is Jan. 1.

Yzerman signaled as far back as last December that Bowey didn’t really fit into the rebuild. Bowey was placed on waivers, cleared, and assigned to the Grand Rapids Griffins, but the stint in the minors didn’t last long because of injuries in Detroit. 

Yzerman has rid the Wings of multiple players he inherited, including veterans Jimmy Howard, Trevor Daley, Jonathan Ericsson and Justin Abdelkader. 

After making a trade…

With the 97th overall pick in the 2020 NHL draft, the Red Wings picked Sam Stange.

Detroit takes 6-foot-1 forward Sam Stange at No. 97. The Wisconsin native is slated to play for the U of Wisconsin this year. Had 45 points in 48 USHL games last season. #RedWings— Stefan Kubus (@StefanKubus) October 7, 2020

My blog ate this entry, so I’ll hand it over to Michigan Hockey’s Michael Caples:

[The Red Wings selected Frolunda forward Theodor] Niederbach, the second Swedish forward claimed by Detroit in the 2020 Draft after they took Lucas Raymond at No. 4 overall, checks in at 5-foot-11 and 172 pounds. Skating with Frolunda’s top junior team this fall, he has recorded 15 points in nine games.

After missing an entire year because of surgery to address knee joint issues, Niederbach is an intriguing prospect who may have had a higher draft stock had he competed in 2018-19.

In 2019-2020, he posted 48 points in 40 games with Frolunda, and seven points in eight games at the U18 Worlds.

An EliteProspects article calls him “the best 2020 prospect you’ve never heard of,” while his draft guide write-up gives another favorable review.

“He maintains a detailed mental map of the ice that allows quick decisions and a heightened read on incoming pressure. Defensively, he maintains an above-the-puck posture and suffocates opposition puck-carriers. He’s so dialed in off the puck, capable of making the right reads and knowing when he can switch from his man and give his teammate support.”

Niederbach spoke with the media, via the Red Wings:
