Red Wings plan to be over the cap at the start of the season

It sounds like the Red Wings cap situation won’t be sorted out until the very last minute. MLive’s Ansar Khan penned an article Monday, shedding some light on General Manager Ken Holland’s plan to address the elephant in the room that is the organization’s salary cap woes.

With both Robbie Russo and Andreas Athanasiou yet to be signed, the team is set to go over the cap, which means unless a player goes down with an injury, someone will need to be moved via trade or waivers. The team has a handful of players who are currently nursing injuries, but all of them are expected to be ready for training camp and/or the start of the season.
