Quick Hits: The Eve Edition at the start of the season

Red Wing's rumble

New start time

Tomorrow's season opener in the LCA has a new start time. Puck drop is now scheduled for 8:00 p.m. ET. The change was due to the Detroit Tigers moving their postseason series with Cleveland to at least Game Four. So if you're heading downtown for the game tomorrow, give yourself a little extra time. It will be WILD.

Watson approves waivers

As expected, forward Austin Watson cleared waivers and is now heading to the Grand Rapids Griffins. Red Wings head coach Derek Lalonde said this was the plan just a few days ago. Grand Rapids opens the AHL regular season against Milwaukee on Friday at Van Andel Arena.

Latest on MBN

As it turned out, the Red Wings wanted 2024 first-rounder Michael Brandsegg-Nygard to stay in North America and play in the AHL, but MBN made the decision to return to the SHL. There has been some excitement about this and I choose to ignore it. Yzerman has never been one to rush prospects. MBN will be in North America next season, so we shouldn't be too worried about that at the moment.
