Red Wings Midseason Review and Rasmussen Rumors - Jan. 29th, 2023

The NHL All-Star break is here, so while Dylan Larkin represents Hockeytown it's time for us to take stock of the Detroit Red Wings season. Tune in as we start by recapping Detroit's fun OT win over Montréal, including Kay Seider & Glenn Walman highlighting the Dads & Mentors trip, Michael Rasmussen, Moritz Seider, Robby Fabbri, Ville Husso, & other coming up huge in the win, & more (5:00). Also, Detroit's snoozer of a loss to the Islanders & why ESPN even chose that game (11:45) before discussing rumors of the Vancouver Canucks being interested in Michael Rasmussen (potentially in a Bo Horvat trade), whether Rasmussen has hit his peak, how he fits the "Rutherford" type of player, & more (13:25). Also, a quick note on Bally Sports potentially being sold/changing, how it affects Detroit, the NHL, & the salary cap (19:15). With Yzerman's Detroit Red Wings squad over halfway into the season, it's time to evaluate the team. How's the Yzerplan going? Who's team MVP, most surprising player (Berggren? Walman?), most disappointing (Chiarot, Nedeljkovic?), how are Seider & Lucas Raymond doing, is Derek Lalonde making a different? All of that & more (22:25). Finally, our 2023 NHL Draft Prospect Profile series continues with Zach Benson of the Winnipeg Ice in the WHL - could he be a fit for the Red Wings? Where will he be drafted? (51:30) All of that & plenty more before we take your questions during Overtime (59:50) - enjoy!
