Is it decision time for Todd McLellan and Steve Yzerman in Hockeytown?

Tune in as we start by discussing Todd McLellan's comments about how Nate Danielson's arrival could help the Detroit Red Wings make some decisions on some players: who those players could be, what this means for the likes of Rasmussen, Berggren, Soderblom, Compher, & others, and what kind of moves could follow. Also, a further dive into what has changed in the Detroit Red Wings game plan that has not only the bottom 6, but also the likes of Dylan Larkin, Lucas Raymond, Alex DeBrincat, & other key players not scoring (5:40). Next, a look at the jumbled lines as Emmitt Finnie moves down with Patrick Kane, and Marco Kasper joins Nate Danielson, and the Seider - Edvinsson pair stays together as Chiarot stays with Sandin-Pellikka (25:20).

After that, we discuss Marco Kasper's "sophomore slump" and what has changed in his game (36:15) before jumping into NHL news: Slovakian Olympic jerseys & Italian facilities concerns, Celebrini, Bedard, & Caufield on the outs for Team Canada and USA, & lots more (46:50) before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment (1:00:00) - enjoy!
