Summary
It's 2025 NHL Entry Draft Rankings time! Tune in as we begin by going over 1st round draft rankings (who will Steve Yzerman have available for the Detroit Red Wings at 13th overall?) from both Brad Krysko and newest WWP contributor, "LGRWProspects" (Zak Egan - check out his full rankings here: https://www.wingedwheelpodcast.com/post/2025-nhl-draft-rankings) - rankings listed below. (3:35)
We then discuss whether it's better for Yzerman to trade the 13th overall pick to move up or get help on forward for Larkin, Raymond, DeBrincat, Kasper, and Kane, or on defense to aid Seider, Edvinsson, Sandin Pellikka, and Johansson (18:15). After that, Vladimir Tarasenko's name being on the trade block, an update on Dmitri Buchelnikov, and more goaltending depth behind Sebastian Cossa and Trey Augustine added to the system (25:50).
Next, an update on the Stanley Cup Final as Bennett, Tkachuk, and Paul Maurice's Panthers sent McDavid, Draisaitl, Bouchard, and the Oiler off the deep end in game 3 (35:55). Then, NHL awards updates as Lane Hutson wins the Calder and Cale Makar wins the Norris (45:45) and a look at the NHL trade and free agency landscape, as names like Jason Robertson, Alexis Lafreniere, Bowen Byram, K'Andre Miller, William Karlsson, and many more are floating around (51:45).
All of that & lots more before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment (1:03:35) - enjoy!
