Red Wings Miss Out On Another Michigan Target As Guimond Rises

Detroit is hearing another familiar refrain: the local kid dream is not always in the cards. The Red Wings apparently will not get a shot at landing another Michigan player, while Guimond is moving up the conversation as a finalist. That kind of split-screen is common this time of year, when home-state ties matter until they suddenly do not. The Wings are still in the mix for answers, but this one looks like it may bend away from the hometown script.
