DETROIT — The Red Wings are adding some size to their bottom six, signing winger Mason Appleton to a two-year deal with a $2.9 million average annual value, league sources told The Athletic’s Chris Johnston on Wednesday.
Appleton had 10 goals and 22 points last season for the Jets but is only one year removed from a 14-goal, 36-point campaign in 2023-24.
Detroit had been looking to add size and hardness to its lineup, and Appleton will help with that as a 6-foot-2 winger with good territorial impacts.
How Appleton fits Detroit
Appleton profiles as a true third-liner and could slot in alongside fellow former Jet Andrew Copp, J.T. Compher, or both in that role for Detroit. The Red Wings have needed a harder element in their lineup, and Appleton looks like that style of role player who can still chip in some secondary offense.
What’s interesting is that the move comes a day after the Red Wings added James van Riemsdyk, who also would have been a logical third-line fit. It’s possible both van Riemsdyk and Appleton could flank Copp or Compher on that line, with the other either playing up the lineup or centering the fourth line. It’s also possible the veteran van Riemsdyk could get a look high in the lineup after a 16-goal campaign last season. Neither of those options would classify as the kind of splashy top-line addition fans in Detroit were hoping for, though.

It also remains to be seen if the Red Wings are done making moves, as Detroit still has more than $11 million in cap space. But in signing the 29-year-old Appleton to a fairly inexpensive short-term deal, the Red Wings have added to their depth and given themselves a veteran role player. — Max Bultman, Red Wings beat reporter

Draper’s Wimbledon dreams shattered by clinical Cilic
Jack Draper's dreams of winning his maiden Wimbledon title came crashing down after a shock second-round exit to veteran Marin Cilic on Court One.Cilic rolled back the years with a sublime performance, hitting 53 winners in a 6-4 6-3 1-6 6-4 victory, but this will be a bitter pill for Draper, who has elevated himself into the world's top four but is still yet to go beyond the second round at his home Grand Slam. British fans could have been forgiven for thinking Cilic had retired, with the Croatian back at the All England Club for the first time in four years.A knee problem that required two operations and kept him out for the better part of two years might have been the end but Cilic was determined to come back.

Fotbalistky Itálie vstoupily do ME hubenou výhrou nad Belgií
UEFA v průběhu dne rozhodla, že dnešním a páteční duelům na šampionátu bude předcházet minuta ticha za tragicky zesnulého portugalského reprezentanta Dioga Jotu, jenž společně s bratrem André Silvou zahynul při autonehodě.Jediný gól zápasu v Thunu vstřelila ve 44. minutě nehlídaná Arianna Carusová z hranice poutového území do horní části belgické branky.

Breaking down Steelers by position after one of busiest offseasons in NFL history
If getting the most headlines was correlated to winning then I would pick the Pittsburgh Steelers as this season's Super Bowl champion.The Steelers have made more noise than any team this offseason thanks to the high-profile (and long-awaited) signing of Aaron Rodgers and a few blockbuster trades, but what does it really amount to? Few teams have ever had an offseason like the Steelers. They added players with a combined 26 career Pro Bowl selections between Aaron Rodgers (10), Jalen Ramsey (7), Darius Slay (6), DK Metcalf (2) and Jonnu Smith (1). It's the fourth-most Pro Bowl selections ever added in one offseason behind the 2020 Buccaneers (32), 2008 Jets (31) and 2000 Washington (31). Pittsburgh can look to the Buccaneers for inspiration as that team actually did win a Super Bowl after adding Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski, Antonio Brown and […]
