Detroit Red Wings search for new general manager as roster decisions loom

The Detroit Red Wings enter Labor Day without a general manager or president of hockey operations. While the organization has begun the interview process, no official announcement regarding a new lead executive has been made. The leadership vacancy leaves the team unable to finalize a contract for restricted free agent Simon Edvinsson or address a trade request from forward Dylan Larkin. Elsewhere in the NHL, the league began releasing its list of the top 50 players, revealing the players ranked 40 through 31. No members of the Detroit Red Wings appeared in that initial segment, though expectations remain for Dylan Larkin, Lucas Raymond, and Mo Seider to appear as the list continues. In other league news, Calgary Flames forward Jonathan Huberdeau will miss the start of the upcoming season while recovering from hip resurfacing surgery.
