About this episode

The episode discusses Patrick Kane's return to the Blackhawks and its implications for the Red Wings.

Patrick Kane is a Blackhawk again. Jake Rivard from Octopus Thrower react to the signing, dig into what it means for Alex DeBrincat's future in Detroit, and revisit the theory linking Dylan Larkin's trade request to Steve Yzerman's exit. Then they each make the case for an outside-the-box Red Wings GM candidate: Sam Ventura of the Sabres and Evan Gold of the Providence Bruins. Plus, Dylan Larkin's summer takes a weird turn.
