Here it is: our 2023 NHL Draft Preview - a massive episode containing anything and everything you need to know heading into the 2023 NHL Draft - especially if you're a Detroit Red Wings fan!
Tune in as we "start" by giving a prospect profile, personal evaluation, & likelihood that Steve Yzerman, Kris Draper, & Co. select each of the top 20 ranked players (as per Bob McKenzie's rankings) to join Hockeytown's prospect pipeline (order of profiles listed below) (4:05).
After that, our personal rankings of preferred picks for the Detroit Red Wings at 9th & 17th overall (1:25:45) before we discuss the possibility of Yzerman trading any or multiple of Detroit's 5 picks in the first 43 spots, whether it be for other picks (Michkov?), established NHL players like Alex DeBrincat or Travis Konecny, or a multitude of other scenarios (1:31:15).
In addition to discussing draft strategies, we also cover potential 2nd round picks like Brindley, Wahlberg, Stramel, Fisker Molgaard, & many more (1:40:20).
All of that & even MORE draft discussion as we take your questions during our Overtime segement (1:45:00) - enjoy, and be sure to tune into our live coverage during our 2023 NHL Draft 1st Round Live Stream! - https://www.youtube.com/wingedwheelpodcast

0:00.0 | Welcome to the winged wheel podcast. Here to talk all things hockey are your hosts Brad |
0:10.8 | Crisco, Ryan Hanna, and Evan Lopsinger. |
0:13.4 | I know you're going to hate me for saying this Brad, |
0:20.8 | but I genuinely feel like we need 20 more episodes to |
0:23.2 | properly cover what could happen in the draft like I'm in shock that we're already |
