Red Wings lose GM candidate as trade interest in Mason Lohrei grows

Jeff Greenberg withdrew his name from consideration for the Detroit Red Wings general manager and president of hockey operations position, opting to remain with the Detroit Tigers. As the NHL preseason approaches, trade interest in Boston Bruins defenseman Mason Lohrei has emerged, with teams inquiring about the 25-year-old. The Bruins currently hold a surplus of NHL-capable defensemen ahead of training camp, which begins September 16 at Warrior Ice Arena. Separately, reports confirm the Philadelphia Flyers attempted to acquire Dylan Larkin this summer, but the forward excluded the team from his list of approved trade destinations. In Colorado, the Avalanche designated assistant strength and conditioning coach Will Slohm as their emergency backup goalie for the upcoming season. Additionally, fans have voiced negative feedback regarding player face scans in the early access release of EA's NHL 27 video game.
