Winged Wheel Podcast - A Detroit Red Wings Podcast

WWP NIGHT w/ the GRAND RAPIDS GRIFFINS TICKETS: https://griffinshockey.com/wwp

Lots to discuss as Steve Yzerman made one of his patented late-night trades, and things are getting rough for the Detroit Red Wings...

Tune in as we open by discussing Olli Maatta being traded to Utah HC (who lost Durzi and Marino long-term) for a 3rd round pick, how Yzerman did in this deal, what this means for Albert Johansson, Marco Kasper, Moritz Seider, Simon Edvinsson, & others, & whether more moves are to come (5:00).

Next, Detroit's ugly 6-2 loss in Hockeytown, including a tough game for Alex Lyon, Jeff Petry, and Ben Chiarot, Dylan Larkin, Lucas Raymond, Moritz Seider, Patrick Kane, and Alex DeBrincat connecting for a small stint of hope, & more of the same muted play in Hockeytown (14:05).

After that, an intense discussion on the future of the Red Wings in the short & long term, Derek Lalonde's security as head coach, Steve Yzerman & the pro scouting team's role, and lots more (27:15).

We're then joined by Craig Custance to discuss The Franchise, Craig's new book that delves into the stories about the people who make the biggest decisions in hockey, with behind the scenes tales and insights from people like Jim Nill, Julien Brisebois, Nicklas Backstrom, & so much more (1:11:00).

Finally, NHL news including the Liljegren trade to San Jose (alonsgside Jake Walman), Sportico's NHL team valuations, & plenty more () before we take your questions & comments in our Overtime segment (1:15:20) - enjoy!
