About this episode

Greg and guest Jake Rivard discuss the latest developments in the Red Wings GM search and player news.

The GM search might have an answer. Nobody's saying who yet. Greg is joined by Jake Rivard from Octopus Thrower to break down what they're hearing on the Red Wings GM decision, why Alex DeBrincat's comments this week should calm some nerves, and why the Zeev Buium contract just made Simon Edvinsson a lot more expensive. Plus Dylan Larkin's media blackout and a moment for Barry Melrose.
