As the Detroit Red Wings continue their NHL Draft preparations, the rest of the league is taking part in one big front office carousel – lots to cover!

Tune in as we start by celebrating some special Red Wings May 31st memories (4:00) before discussing Sebastian Cossa wrapping up his season with the Toledo Walleye, what expectations are for him with the Grand Rapids Griffins next season, & how Yzerman’s 1st round pick is faring overall (6:05). Also, the vacant Grand Rapids coaching position, whether Alex Tanguay may take it, or if an offer could come to him from Calgary (10:40).

Next, our 2023 NHL Draft Prospect Profile on David Reinbacher, a right-handed defenseman from Austria who may go as high as top 5. Would he be the right pick for Yzerman, Draper & Co., or is Hockeytown better suited taking a forward like Ryan Leonard, Oliver Moore, Dalibor Dvorsky, Zach Benson, or others (17:45)?

Next our preview of the Stanley Cup Finals, as Matthew Tkachuk & Sergei Bobrovsky’s Florida Panthers take on Jack Eichel & Mark Stone’s Vegas Golden Knights in a “no-tax state Finals” (40:14).

After that, a look at front office changes across the NHL, with Brendan Shanahan choosing Brad Treliving to take over for Kyle Dubas, Barry Trotz picking up Andrew Brunette, Carbery going to Washington, & more (53:45) before we take your questions during Overtime (1:00:10) – enjoy!

  1. I'm with Brad's logic
    Forward at 9 dman at 17, but would prefer 2 forwards

  2. Reinbacher has top pairing potential. I’m not sure how you can say he’s only in the top ten cause it’s a weak draft for defensemen. Right-handed, top-four pairing, 6’2” defenseman? Easily a top ten guy. Miro Hiskeinan (sp?) is a Norris contender is your comparison. I do think it’s moot though cause he likely won’t make it to nine.

    I would love to see this team build around a Norris top four though. Edvinsson, Seider, Wallinder, Reinbacher… that’s an exciting core.

  3. What is the differences between GM, President, Owner, or Govenor in running a hockey team? Are some of these terms used interchangeably? Also, is Shanny more involved than most people in his position?

  4. Maybe this is pretty common and I just didn't pay enough attention the past few years, but the difference of opinion on draft placement for players not unanimously in the top 5 is wild.

  5. Bobs performance is not ahead of Tim Thomas yet, he has to win the cup to get ahead of it

  6. You guys should put together a super cut off all the draft profiles before the end of June or put up a playlist of the draft profile clips.

  7. NHL will give the Conn Smythe to Tkachuk. They want a face of the league that is American and is fun/exciting. He will be the face of the league (rightfully so we need someone like that to grow the game)

  8. I really hope Nicklas Lidstrom becomes a coach for the Red WIngs one day
