Summary
With the Detroit Red Wings fighting injuries and heading into the All-Star break soon, we decided that it's that time...2023 NHL Draft Prospect Profiles.
Tune in as we begin the episode by recapping Detroit's game against Vegas, including a Husso blunder & excellent recovery, Larkin & Raymond continuing to thrive, & Joe Veleno's underrated abilities (5:30). Next, Lalonde's squads dull loss to Carter Hart & the Flyers, including Hockeytown's scoring woes, Seider & Raymond's opportunities, & the "Filip Zadina-ness" to the game (10:35).
Next: Tyler Bertuzzi is hurt once again. How does this affect his trade value and/or contract status? Does Steve Yzerman stay the course, try to sign him short-term, or ship him out for whatever he can salvage (16:10)? Also, an update on Jakub Vrana in Grand Rapids, how he feels on being with the Griffins in the AHL, & whether there's a path back to the NHL for him yet (27:45).
What better way to start the Prospect Profile series than with Connor Bedard? Tune in as we discuss how he measures up to the likes of Auston Matthews & Connor McDavid, how he would change Detroit's rebuild the Red Wings' chances at getting him vs. other tanking teams, & what makes him so special (31:20).
Finally, a look at the disaster-class in Vancouver as the Canucks finally put an end to the Bruce Boudreau saga. Could Jim Rutherford have done things differently in swapping Boudreau for Tocchet ?
