Detroit – Get ready for a training camp unlike any the Detroit Red Wings have had in many years.
When they were winning Stanley Cups, the Red Wings’ roster was pretty much known before they headed to camp. Even last fall, coming off their first missed postseason after 25 consecutive appearances, the Wings had just a couple roster spots open.
But as they take the ice Friday in Traverse City – physicals and the annual charity golf tournament take place Thursday – there are many jobs available on the roster, ice time to be doled out and lines to be reconfigured.
