Trades, rumors, and NHL draft conversations are heating up, and the Detroit Red Wings are seem to be relevant across the board…
Tune in as we open by discussing some important dates in Red Wings history, celebrating past Stanley Cup victories in Hockeytown led by the likes of Steve Yzerman, Darren McCarty, Brendan Shanahan, Vladimir Konstantinov, Nicklas Lidstrom, & more legends (3:35).
Next, we take a look at Samuel Honzek’s 2023 NHL Entry Draft Prospect Profile. How does the towering winger project out, what’s his ultimate ceiling, are Michael Rasmussen comparisons fair, & should Steve Yzerman & Kris Draper consider him with either 1st round pick (6:40).
We’re also joined by Prashanth Iyer of Expected by Whom to discuss the 2023 NHL Draft, Detroit Red Wings free agency strategy, & lots more (18:20).
Next, some Red Wings news involving Pius Suter, Alex Chiasson, Gustav Lindstrom, Adam Erne, Jordan Oesterle, Alex Nedeljkovic, Magnus Hellberg, & others (52:20).
Also: trade & signing news! Danny Briere seems to have made a big splash in his early GM days, turning Provorov into a big haul for the Flyers as the Kings made room for Gavrikov (& the Flyers may be looking to trade Carter Hart (56:20). Also, Cole Caufield has extended – how does that compare to Lucas Raymond’s eventual extension? The big story though is Alex DeBrincat – with the Ottawa Senators looking to possibly trade him, is he destined to come home to Michigan? What would Yzerman have to pay for in a trade, would Larkin & Raymond be ideal linemates, how would he fit into a future core alongside Mo Seider et. al.? (1:02:20) All of that & lots more is covered before we take your questions during Overtime (1:12:15) – enjoy!

Wings should have won more with that team,,,take away Bab's and the team would have won at least 1 or more cups !!
What about trading for Erik Karlsson?
I am willing to go with whatever SY decides at the end of this month except 2 forwards. A lot of mocks have Eduard Sale and Andrew Cristall. Some have compared Sale's offensive upside to Pasternak but Eduard is a wall flower along the boards and actually pulls up short instead of delivering a hit. Maybe he roster ready in 3 years of development ?
Andrew Cristall skates like a Sleestak but could he be like Tyler Bertuzzi at LW?
😂dvorsky isn’t reaching 9 after the U18s and Moore isn’t gonna be there at 17 nice try iyer
Lets not trade for CAT (dont need more small players) but try to trade for Tom Wilson and sign for 2 to 3 years to keep Raymond clean
Is it just me but i think Larkins passing is his worst asset he is not a good passer.
I hate that for Lindstrom and Oesterle, but it makes sense.
Hey fellas. Black hawks fan here. You should go after DeBrincat, he is the offense star you have needed. He would step right in and accelerate the Yzerplan. The 'Hawks aren't going to acquire him. Davidson the GM has made it clear he isn't going to sign big money FA, he has 3 1st rnders last year, and #1 and 5 other picks first 2 rnds this year. 2 1st rnds and 2 2nd rnds '24 & '25. He knows he'll need the $ to resign those that make it. Many have called it "tanking" but it has been a true rebuild, and most "knowledgeable" 'Hawks fans have been all in. Trade for the Cat, you won't regret despite the cost. Good luck, and-as a 'Hawks fan- Detroit sucks! GHG!
I need Ryan's help with skating.
Prashanth said you can't move wingers to center but I seem to remember a brief period when Drew Miller was our 2C.
Wouldn't mind Debrincat in Detroit but I'm not sure what the cost would be.
Another player I'd love to see is Travis Konecny from Philly.
Was there 🎉
NHL still invisible in UK media wise
Debrincat is still an elite young player at only 25. Ottawa STOLE him last year from Hawks team trying their hardest to TANK for what they paid….a high 1st and a high second and it worked!! They will need at least that much, not in draft capital but to possibly off load it somewhere else for ready help as they are ready to win now. I don’t think they would be that interested in Detroit 9th and 2nd for themselves but to another team with elite goaltending or another elite or semi elite defenceman
Hot take: Jonny Burgers has more goals than Lucas next season.
Flame on 🔥
Anyone who thinks the Red Wings should use their 9th pick on Honzek is an idiot. There are going to be better players at 17.
Yzerman likes players with a strong compete level and who play a two-way game. Debrincat really doesn't fit that profile.
NO lottery luck at all!
1:19:23 where is the best of podcast clips? The original conversation of this question a few years ago in an episode made me actually cry I was laughing so hard and the natural transition into how many 10 years old vs other comparable things Evan could beat up.
