WWP NIGHT w/ the GRAND RAPIDS GRIFFINS TICKETS ON SALE NOW: griffinshockey.com/wwp

As the offseason begins to wind down, we're back with another (remote) episode of the Winged Wheel Podcast ft. Max Bultman of The Athletic Detroit to take advantage of the downtime!

We start by discussing the recent changes to the CBA, and how the NHL's implementation plan on certain shifts can benefit Steve Yzerman and the Detroit Red Wings when it comes to extending Simon Edvinsson and Marco Kasper. Can Hockeytown's core be solidified with more contracts like Dylan Larkin, Moritz Seider, and Lucas Raymond's? (3:55) We then discuss the earlier implementation of the Stanley Cup Playoffs salary cap and whether that means teams like Florida or Vegas would have to shed cap - could someone like Evan Rodrigues be on Steve Yzerman's radar to add to McLellan's Detroit Red Wings? (23:25)

After announce WWP Night w/ the Grand Rapids Griffins details (35:35), we take an opportunity to review some mailbag "who says no" trade proposals: McTavish, Karlsson, Sandin Pellikka, Danielson, Bear, Connor, & more - would any of these deals make sense? (40:00)

All of that & lots more before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment (1:08:30) - enjoy!

Before we jump into Detroit Red Wings talk, Evan has returned with some exciting news! (00:00)

We then jump back to hockey by discussing whether the fears of injury or wear & tear for Dylan Larkin, Lucas Raymond, Moritz Seider, Patrick Kane, and the rest of the Hockeytown Olympic hopefuls are overblown or a legitimate concern. Will Todd McLellan's squad hold tough, or will another bout of injuries leave the scoring to the like of Alex DeBrincat, Simon Edvinsson, Marco Kasper, and the rest of the Red Wings? (7:15)

Next, we compare where Steve Yzerman's Detroit Red Wings are relative to Suzuki, Caufield, Hutson and the Montreal Canadiens, Tkachuk, Stutzle and the Ottawa Senators, and Dahlin's Buffalo Sabres. What does Steve Yzerman need to do to match the talent levels of Demidov & Co., or are Danielson, Sandin Pellikka, Brandsegg-Nygard, & the rest of the Red Wings pipeline more than enough? (21:40)

Finally, notes on the Red Wings broadcast schedule & how much of Ken Daniels & Mickey Redmond we'll see, some quick NHL news, & more (47:30) before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment (56:35) - enjoy!

A full offseason of Todd McLellan - how much change can that actually bring to the Detroit Red Wings?

After opening with a follow-up on the Sergei Fedorov white skates discussion (0:00), tune in as we discuss how much a full offseason, training camp, and preseason of Todd McLellan's gameplans and strategies can impact the Detroit Red Wings. Can he find a bolt-on top 6 forward solution alongside Dylan Larkin, Lucas Raymond, Moritz Seider, Alex DeBrincat, and Patrick Kane? Will he reshuffle the defense and allow Simon Edvinsson to join Moritz Seider? Will Nate Danielson or Carter Mazur excel under the Toddfather? How much will John Gibson lift the Hockeytown team? (7:30)

Next, a look at team USA Olympic hopefuls, including Dylan Larkin and Patrick Kane, Alex DeBrincat being snubbed, & more (33:30). Also, Frank Nazar's contract & how he compares to Marco Kasper, Marco Rossi signing in Minnesota, Lane Hutson's path, McTavish update, & more (44:25) before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment (54:15) - enjoy!
