Detroit Red Wings legend Alex Delvecchio died on Tuesday, July 1, at 93 years old. The Hall-of-Famer played all 24 of his NHL seasons (1950-74) with the Red Wings, playing in 1,550 games, winning three Stanley Cups and three Lady Byng Memorial Trophies during his career.

Alex Delvecchio, longtime Red Wings captain and one of hockey’s most quietly brilliant stars, passed away on July 1, in Rochester, Michigan.

There were players I missed out on at the 2025 NHL draft because I waited a bit too long, such as Zeb Lindgren. I was looking to take him with the 140th pick, and everything looked good until he went one pick earlier to the New York Rangers. Sean Barnhill was another target of mine, but he went a few picks before I had the chance to draft him.
