TRAVERSE CITY, MICH. - Fans at the Red Wings' development camp earlier this month no doubt noticed a player named Larkin skating at Centre Ice Arena in Traverse City.

But this Larkin was with the defensemen, not the forwards.

DETROIT - Tomas Tatar always wanted to stay with the Red Wings, the only team he has ever known.

But when the restricted free agent and the team ended up in arbitration after failing to come to an agreement, there was some concern Tatar's time in Detroit would end after this coming season.

DETROIT - The Detroit Red Wings today agreed to terms with left wing Tomas Tatar on a four-year contract.

TRAVERSE CITY, MICH. - When the Red Wings defense prospects arrived in Traverse City earlier this month, one player stood above them all - literally.

TRAVERSE CITY, MI. - During the Saturday morning session of Detroit's development camp at Centre Ice Arena, an NHL Hall of Fame player returned to the Red Wings after a brief sabbatical.

THIS DATE IN HISTORY: July 18

1997: Two months after winning the Stanley Cup for the first time in 42 years, the Detroit Red Wings make two moves that will help them win three more in the next 11: They sign Scotty Bowman to a two-year contract to remain as coach and promote Ken Holland to general manager. He had been assistant GM.

Bowman guides the Red Wings to the Cup again in 1998 and wins his NHL-record ninth championship as a coach in 2002. After the final buzzer, he puts on his skates and takes the Cup for a lap around the ice. It's his last act before retiring as the holder of NHL records for wins and championships by a coach.

In Greek mythology, the god Hermes is the god of speed and is often depicted wearing wings on his sandals.

Detroit forward Andreas Athanasiou may not be a mythical Greek god, but with his blinding speed it's not too far of a stretch to believe he indeed has wings on his skates.
