Winged Wheel Podcast - A Detroit Red Wings Podcast

Lucas Raymond finally breaks out! In our Red Wings vs Canucks and Flames recaps: a lopsided win, then a stinker that snapped a six-game point streak. This Detroit Red Wings podcast also asks what Connor Hellebuyck's trade to New Jersey means for Dylan Larkin. (00:00) - Intro Brad thanks Mark Scheifele for being the other mutant who knows which way every NHL player shoots, and Evan's reputation for hating mid-day emergency episodes gets aired out. (06:35) - Canucks & Flames Game Recaps Lucas Raymond scores twice as Detroit jumps out 3-1 inside nine minutes, and Michal Postava stops seven of eight in relief in his NHL debut on a night where the Canucks went an hour and 42 minutes of real time without a shot. Then, a flat loss followed in Calgary as John Gibson and the Red Wings' special teams struggled. (26:45) - Brandsegg-Nygard Calder Race Michael Brandsegg-Nygard was tied with the Sharks' Ivar Stenberg for the rookie scoring lead at eight points, all without a power-play point. Why we call him the most impressive rookie in the league so far, positive defensive numbers included. (32:10) - John Gibson Trade Debate John Gibson's rough start and Daniil Tarasov's spot among the league leaders in goals saved above expected put a trade on the table, with goalie prospects stacked up behind them. What kind of trade offer would leave Horcoff and the Red Wings comfortable with Postava backing up and Augustine & Gylander in Grand Rapids? (40:40) - Hellebuyck Deal & Larkin Market We grade Winnipeg's return for Connor Hellebuyck and explain why the trade likely takes New Jersey out of the Dylan Larkin race. Plus, Larkin's list potentially growing more and why interim GM Shawn Horcoff is right to wait for a better offer. (01:00:40) - Edvinsson Contract Standoff Alexander Nikishin ends his holdout with a one-year, $3 million deal in Carolina after chasing around $9 million long term (the Hurricanes were one of the teams sniffing around Simon Edvinsson). Why the Edvinsson situation may now be about whether he still wants out rather than the numbers, and why a trade beats him sitting out the year. (01:11:40) - Dustin Byfuglien Alumni Game Former NHL defenseman Dustin Byfuglien is back on the ice and the crowd goes berserk. We relive his biggest hits, including one on Mark Stone that might be the hardest we've ever seen. (01:14:40) - Overtime Mailbag Moritz Seider's knee scare in the boards (he returned), why Axel Sandin-Pellikka can't keep getting scratched, and arena pet peeves from the stands to the concourse. Plus, whether it's time to panic on Nate Danielson and a listener's point that Larkin's trade value drops with age. ----- WWP Night at the LCA dates announced!

Two straight wins for the first time this season! This Detroit Red Wings podcast brings the Red Wings vs Flyers and Sharks recaps, from Anton Johansson's first NHL goal in a 2-1 win to Moritz Seider's stalwart play & Lucas Raymond's shootout winner in Saturday's comeback. (00:00) - Intro & Rasmussen Reverse Jinx Calling out Michael Rasmussen's point drought last episode worked! (05:30) - Red Wings Game Recaps Johansson skips a line change coming out of the penalty box to score on a two-on-one, and Andrew Copp buries the late winner against a winless Philadelphia team. Down 3-1 in the third to San Jose, Detroit gets more stellar play from Finnie & MBN, Alex DeBrincat's tying goal with about a minute and a half left, and nearly 30 minutes from Moritz Seider. (31:30) - Bernard-Docker On Waivers Jacob Bernard-Docker, signed through next season at $1.6 million, goes unclaimed and heads to Grand Rapids, a vote of confidence in Detroit's young right-handed defensemen. (36:20) - Edvinsson Sighting Simon Edvinsson pops up at a Colgate women's hockey pregame skate in a Red Wings practice jersey and a Boston University helmet - sign a contract is close, or just noise? (39:10) - Larkin Montreal Trade Theory & Red Wings Notess Ryan's tinfoil-hat theory is that Detroit and Montreal both want to settle Larkin's trade request together, with Canadiens prospect Michael Hage as the dream return, even though most call him a non-starter. Plus, Michael Brandsegg-Nygard sits tied for second in rookie scoring playing alongside 1C Emmitt Finnie, and the Rangers kick tires on goalies with John Gibson's name in the mix. (53:05) - Ilitch on Horcoff's Future Chris Ilitch tells a group of reporters that interim GM Shawn Horcoff is a candidate to have the tag removed but the GM/President of Hockey Ops search continues, right after Horcoff got the Alex DeBrincat contract done. Is Horcoff the president of hockey ops type? What's his path where he stays on as GM under one? (01:00:05) - Hellebuyck Suspension Fallout The Jets suspended Connor Hellebuyck without pay for about three weeks after he skipped training camp to push for a trade. With captain Adam Lowry saying there'll have to be a conversation, will Winnipeg play him at all? (01:04:05) - Overtime Mailbag Your questions on trading for Oilers forward Isaac Howard and MBN's Calder odds. Plus, why running 11 forwards and seven defensemen is the right lineup call and how Todd McLellan is deploying the kids. --- WWP Night at the LCA dates announced!

Red Wings vs. Kraken & Canadiens recaps: Detroit blows a lead in a 6-3 loss, then falls 1-0 in a shootout. This Detroit Red Wings podcast also covers Simon Edvinsson's contract standoff & Bell Centre fans chanting for Dylan Larkin amid his trade request. (00:00) - Intro Wild times in the world of Hockeytown - is this Detroit's "gas leak" season? (04:00) - Kraken & Canadiens Losses William Wallinder and Michael Brandsegg-Nygard score their first NHL goals, but the Red Wings melted down and, as Todd McLellan put it, "the team got lazy and complacent". On the second night of the back-to-back, Daniil Tarasov is perfect through regulation, overtime and five shootout rounds while three goals get taken off the board, and Detroit still couldn't score. (24:10) - Nate Danielson & Shootout Choice Discussion on the offensive vs. defensive value of the Andrew Copp line. Also, Nate Danielson is playing without any confidence, and the hosts split on sending him out for the sixth round of the shootout. (35:50) - "We Want Larkin" Chant There's no playbook for a home crowd chanting for the visiting team's former captain while he's asking out of Detroit. Why Michael Hage isn't on the table, why Dylan Larkin likely isn't heading north of the border, & why Todd McLellan shut down questions about the distraction. (43:30) - Simon Edvinsson Contract Watch A report says Simon Edvinsson still prefers a trade while the Red Wings say they want to sign him, with a December 1 deadline looming. Why $10 million, just 9.62% of this year's cap, is the overpay worth making, and why Utah is the rumored front-runner if it comes to a trade. (01:01:00) - Shesterkin Injury & Gibson Trade With Igor Shesterkin out for the season, the hosts argue Detroit should call the Rangers about John Gibson now, likely for around a second-round pick. (01:04:25) - Overtime Mailbag Patrons ask how far Detroit has to sink before management acts, and one prediction is that they stand pat until a Justin Faulk trade for a second at the deadline. Plus, the top power play unit, why a $77 million, seven-year offer sheet for Edvinsson would cost four first-round picks, and whether trading him makes sense. --- WWP Night at the LCA dates announced!

Simon Edvinsson reportedly "prefers a trade", & this Detroit Red Wings podcast is fuming over the botched Red Wings contract talks behind it. Plus, Red Wings vs Rangers & Jets recaps, from Dylan Larkin & ownership's opening-night boos to Sunday's 3-2 loss. (00:00) - Intro Two games into the season and the off-ice circus has already made them feel meaningless. (03:05) - Simon Edvinsson Trade Report Elliotte Friedman reported Saturday night that Simon Edvinsson would prefer be traded, frustrated with how Detroit has handled negotiations. Why a 15-month contract standoff lands on Chris Ilitch and ownership, especially after Edvinsson voluntarily reported to camp. (24:15) - Contract Numbers & Cap Space Why Detroit has to eat the "you suck tax" and pay up even if the AAV creeps toward $12M (well over Moritz Seider's), with worlds of cap space over the next three seasons. Plus, what an Edvinsson trade could bring back & whether Horcoff could win that deal. (39:25) - Fans Boo Dylan Larkin Standing with the healthy scratches, Dylan Larkin got what might be the loudest boo in Little Caesars Arena history before the "sell the team" chants kicked in. Also, is his trade request the same as Edvinsson's situation? (49:05) - Rangers Home Opener Shutout Marco Kasper fought Sean Durzi, and the defense hasn't allowed a five-on-five goal through two games, but the Red Wings are 0-2. Dylan Garand earned his first career shutout as the top line with Andrew Copp at center barely registered. (56:35) - Jets Loss & Finnie Centering Down 3-0 on three power-play goals, Detroit answered with Viktor Arvidsson's first goal of the season, follow by Emmitt Finnie centering a reshuffled line with MBN & DeBrincat. Todd McLellan called it Michael Brandsegg-Nygard's best game as a Red Wing. (01:04:35) - NHL News - Bettman Comments & Barkov Injury Gary Bettman says no-trade and no-move clauses weren't meant for situations like this and the NHL will take a look. Also, Barkov on LTIR for at least 10 games, which revives talk of Florida as a Larkin trade partner. (01:09:50) - Overtime Mailbag Your questions on Lucas Raymond's quiet start, Patrik Laine rumors and whether big minutes help or hurt the young guys' trade value. Plus why an offer sheet longer than five years may be unlikely. --- WWP Night at the LCA dates announced!

Reports of the Red Wings preferring a bridge contract for Simon Edvinsson have this Detroit Red Wings podcast fuming, & Dylan Larkin's trade list reportedly grows to about 8 teams. Plus, a Hockeytown preseason recap and a full Eastern Conference (Atlantic & Metropolitan Divisions) preview. (00:00) - Intro Anton Johansson pranks the Winged Wheel Podcast! (05:50) - Preseason Wrap-Up Alex DeBrincat drops the gloves and then buries the overtime winner in a 3-2 win over the Sabres, while the finale against Columbus was forgettable hockey. Nate Danielson looked like a steady NHLer without the offensive bite, Marco Kasper got bumped to the fourth line in the finale and still put up two points, and nobody up front forced a tough roster decision. (14:50) - ASP & Anton Johansson Shine Axel Sandin-Pellikka walked the blue line with confidence and was a weapon on the flank with the man advantage, while Anton Johansson kept getting pucks through to the net and ran the point on a few power plays (despite their defensive warts). Also, why William Wallinder may end up in Grand Rapids or elsewhere. (21:15) - Andreas Englund Waiver Claim Detroit claims Andreas Englund off waivers from Calgary, a big depth defenseman that Todd McLellan praised for fitting the room. Where does he fit in with Jacob Bernard-Docker day-to-day and the young defensive core competing for spots whil Edvinsson remains unsigned? (26:30) - Edvinsson Bridge Deal Reports Simon Edvinsson remains unsigned, and reports suggest Detroit preferring a bridge contract. How big of a disaster would this be for the Red Wings, how much have they cost themselves by waiting this long, and who's to blame for another own-goal? (45:25) - Larkin Trade List Expands Elliotte Friedman reports Dylan Larkin's list has grown from three or four teams to about eight, none of them in Canada - and Washington is the only one that may make sense. Would a Protas, Cole Hutson, or Leonard be available? How does this affect the timeline of a Dylan Larkin trade? (1:04:05) - Eastern Conference Preview Full previews for the Metropolitan Division and Atlantic Division: standings predictions, offseason changes, & more. (1:43:15) - Overtime Patron questions on whether Edvinsson's agent should be shopping an offer sheet, one-to-ten grades for the offense, defense and goaltending so far, and Emmitt Finnie's switch-handed faceoff win. --- WWP Night at the LCA dates announced!

(05:15) - Ownership vs. the Futures Trade The report that Chris Ilitch didn't like Steve Yzerman's assessment of a Larkin return, why a win-now deal doesn't exist, and how a futures package could still be flipped for help sooner than you'd think.
