redwingsgm on Trillian for those who are interested in talking trade.

Detroit is available via PM for any teams looking to talk trade up to the deadline.

Report: The Detroit Red Wings have hired 3 University of Michigan students for the remainder of the night to run trade offers to GM RobertoLuongo.'s office at Joe Louis Arena. Sources say that GM RobertoLuongo. is sitting in his LazyBoy recliner ready to talk trades with teams looking to add some playoff pieces, or something even larger.

Report: Detroit has made a trade leading up to the deadline, pending league approval, with reports indicating that more moves could be made in the coming days. The phones are very busy in the management offices in Detroit.

Report: With the Trade Deadline fast approaching, sources say that the Detroit Red Wings have been listening to calls on Scott Hartnell. Although it is unlikely that he is moved, some reports suggest that the Wings would consider a "hockey trade" for Hartnell in which they get younger at the expense of a power forward on a playoff-bound team. Rumblings also indicate that Kris Russell has been made available by the team for those teams looking to make a push for a final playoff spot. Although he may not be playoff-bound, he provides consistent points from the back end and is still relatively young and could be a future piece.

Report: The Detroit Red Wings have made their 2014 1st Round Pick available.

Waivers: The Detroit Red Wings place F Cody McCormick and F Tim Kennedy on waivers with the intention to assign them to the Motor City Machine Guns. Recall: The Detroit Red Wings recall F Kellan Lain and F Zac Dalpe from the Motor City Machine Guns.

REPORT: The Detroit Red Wings have made a couple of playoff bound veteran defencemen available.

IR Activation: The Detroit Red Wings would like to activate F Chris Kelly off IR. Assignment: The Detroit Red Wings send down F Kellan Lain to the Motor City Machine Guns.

Recall: The Detroit Red Wings recall F Kellan Lain from the Motor City Machine Guns. (Pending IR placement)

Report: The Detroit Red Wings are sliding out of the playoff race quickly and reports suggest some playoff players may be available. Sources say Scott Hartnell, Trevor Lewis, Michael Roszival, Tim Kennedy and Rusty Klesla are available. Detroit isn't packing it in per se, but they are open to exploring options heading into the trade deadline.

With the holidays just around the corner, I expect a mucky game tonight. Going to be a grind-it-out game. Predicting a 2-1 Canucks win. Goals by Higgins and Garrison for Vancouver and Byfuglein for the Jets

Report: Ahead of the Holiday Roster Freeze, Detroit is online and available through PM for any teams looking to talk trade.

Updated Motor City Machine Guns Roster: Stan Galiev - Kellan Lain - Zac Dalpe Bryan Rust - Joe Basaraba - Greg Nemisz Kyle Beach - Ludvig Rensfeldt - Tyler Shattock Toni Rajala Klas Dahlbeck - Colby Robak Joe Finley - Sebastian Erixon Ian White Kieran Millan

The Detroit Red Wings would like to extend apologies to the Carolina Hurricanes organization for this mistake. I usually try to make sure I do a thorough search before going to agents about a potential free agent, and it appears that both Agent Mike and myself missed Alt this time around.

DETROIT RED WINGS ROSTER MOVES: Release: The Detroit Red Wings would like to release F Andreas Engqvist from his contract (signed in KHL) http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nhl/3033/andreas-engqvist Release: The Detroit Red Wings would like to release D Teemu Laakso from his contract (signed in KHL) http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nhl/2885/teemu-laakso

Hey guys, Finally been able to get back on after this insane work schedule of mine. I see that I have a few PMs that I will get to shortly. I would like to thank the league for understanding my situation and allowing me to take the week to ten days that I needed to be away without any issues. When I signed up, I knew that commitment was a big factor, and for the most part I think I have been holding up my end up of the stick by checking in daily, making deals etc. As for my team's performance, I am not impressed. A thorough evaluation would be done in the coming days and some changes will be made. We may be in the ultra competitive East, but that doesn't excuse us from not making the playoffs. Appropriate changes will be made in the near future and steps will continue to be taken towards making the playoffs and set this organization up for success for the short term, and in the long run as well. Once again, thank you to the league and the GMs for handling my situation with such class, and will be available for trade talks etc. via PM all holiday season, so don't be afraid to get in touch. -RL.

Hey guys, just wanted to give everyone a heads up that I won't be around much until December 14th. Have a pretty insane work schedule for the first half of the month and probably won't be able to get on CDC much. I'll have the following weeks off so any inquiries will probably be answered then. Good luck to all, these playoff races are exciting to watch! -RL.

With the recent injury to Jonathan Quick, the Detroit Red Wings are looking to add a goaltender to fill in the void. Any teams with a goalie available should get in touch with Red Wings GM RobertoLuongo.

Recall: Detroit recalls D Mark Fraser from the Motor City Machine Guns. Byfuglein - Russell Fraser - Maata Rozsival - Klesla Ellerby

Detroit GM RobertoLuongo. is available via PM if any team is looking to make some deals, small or large. I normally don't get a chance to get an extended time online because of other commitments in life, but I should be able to respond reasonably quickly for the next few hours.

The Detroit Red Wings are still looking to make some moves in order to shake up the roster a little bit. The last shuffle of players catalyzed a jump in the standings, but we are not where we expected to be at the beginning of this season. Looking for bottom 6 players that are playing consistent minutes. Teams looking for young players and prospects should get in touch.

CALL-UP: Detroit would like to send down F Zac Dalpe and call up F Cody McCormick

The Red Wings are very pleased to add Marcus to our organization. We wish Tomas and Jordie the best of luck in Vancouver. New Red Wings 3rd line; Foligno-Kelly-Letestu
