MADISON BOWEY

The Detroit Red Wings continued reshaping their defense for 2020-21, electing not to make a qualifying offer to Madison Bowey. The Red Wings acquired Bowey, 25, and a second-round pick in this year’s draft from the Washington Capitals at the 2019 trade deadline for defenseman Nick Jensen and a fifth-round pick in 2019. He also acquired defenseman Marc Staal and a second-round pick from the New York Rangers for future considerations. Perlini, acquired in an early season trade from Chicago for defense prospect Alec Regula, struggled all season and was a frequent healthy scratch. More: Red Wings to buy out Justin Abdelkader

I took my kids to a Red Wings preseason game on Sunday. -- Dave (dbartkowiak@wdiv.com | @DaveBartko)Preseason check-in The Red Wings, by the way, won that game in overtime, 3-2, over the Pittsburgh "Penguins." I think he deserves a chance this season with the Red Wings, not just in Grand Rapids.

He was hurt all last year, but can he be healthy enough to get a spot on this roster when the season starts? He is coming off of a real bad year (6 goals, 13 assists, -14 rating in 71 games played) and the Red Wings have suddenly added Erne to the roster. The 23-year-old winger played 60 games with the Wings this past season (3 goals, 6 assists) -- is he in the mix? There's also Madison Bowey, who the Red Wings acquired through the Nick Jensen trade in February. Who is actually going to be playing for the Red Wings?
