Yzerman's Offseason and Red Wings Outlook - July 16th, 2023

Winged Wheel Podcast - A Detroit Red Wings Podcast - A podcast by Winged Wheel Podcast

The offseason is here, and it's time to finally settle in, take stock of the Detroit Red Wings, see what else there is to be done for Steve Yzerman, and relax a bit (we're not going away, just going down to 1 episode/week for the summer). Tune in as we start by analyzing what the roster holes are in Hockeytown and what moves remain for Steve Yzerman to have truly built a playoff contender around Dylan Larkin, Moritz Seider, Lucas Raymond, and Alex DeBrincat (4:25). We take a look at the William Nylander question, as unlikely as at is, and whether a trade for him would be worthwhile or even possible (11:15). Next, we tell you our "Red Wings to watch" as we approach next season: which players are we most curious to monitor over the course of a season? We discuss Jake Walman, Jonatan Berggren, Andrew Copp, JT Compher, & others (16:55). Next, with the remaining cap space, what else can Steve Yzerman do to leverage it, if anything (28:40)? Finally, our thoughts on Red Wings prospects/Grand Rapids Griffins players to watch as we discuss Nate Danielson, Axel Sandin Pellikka, Carter Mazur, Marco Kasper, William Wallinder, Albert Johansson, Simon Edvinsson, & many others (with some bonus rebuild GM strategy/salary cap talk) (32:50). After that, some NHL news (52:00) before we take your questions and comments during Overtime (54:30) - enjoy!
