Here’s a summary of everything that happened in the world of the Red Wings from March 31st to April 6th.

For starters, it was revealed that top goaltending prospect Trey Augustine wasn’t going to be signed by the Red Wings. At least, not at this point in time. All this means is that the goalie is going to go back to Michigan State for one more season.
