Summary
Before April in the D, we get March Sadness for the Detroit Red Wings...
Tune in as we open by discussing Todd McLellan's team's recent games: their bizarre 5-1 win over the Utah Hockey Club, including Alex Lyon standing tall after Petr Mrazek left injured, Alex DeBrincat, Austin Watson, Marco Kasper, Elmer Soderblom, & more production, a lack of a team snarl or toughness in big moments, Jeff Petry's return, & more (4:10). Also, Sebastian Cossa being recalled (due to Talbot being injured) before their 5-2 loss to Colorado, with J.T. Compher and Austin Watson (again from Simon Edvinsson) scoring, Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond standing up for each other, and a discussion on where the team stands (21:50).
After that, a look at Steve Yzerman's roster construction, how "slotting" means Andrew Copp & Jeff Petry have massive impacts when they're gone, what the Red Wings can do to support Moritz Seider, Simon Edvinsson, & other key parts of their core, as well an Emmitt Finnie update as he joing the Grand Rapids Griffins (30:15).
Next, an NHL salary cap overview with the increases to be seen across the league, as well as Jacob Chychrun's new deal with the Washington Capitals (42:00) before our Radim Mrtka 2025 NHL Entry Draft Prospect Profile (52:55).
All of that and lots more before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment (1:00:15) - enjoy!

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Wingwheel podcast, the number one source for news, analysis, and discussion |
| 0:14.5 | on the Detroit Red Wings, the NHL, and all things hockey. |
| 0:19.1 | Here are your hosts, Ryan Hanna, Brad Criscoe, and Evan Lopsinger. |
| 0:29.5 | I got accused of being mean when I posted We're So Back at the Jeff Petrie |
| 0:34.5 | Return from Injury. |
| 0:36.8 | And I don't know how firmly I can articulate this. I meant that |
| 0:40.8 | wholeheartedly. Like, how are you going to look at how this team has played without Jeff Petrie |
| 0:45.6 | and tell me that we're not so back when he comes in? And then they have a very stable defensive |
| 0:51.4 | game and win 5-1 against Utah. |
| 0:57.4 | We were so back for the game Jeff Petrie played, and I wasn't kidding. |
| 1:00.1 | I might be mean for different reasons, but not that. |
| 1:02.3 | It's understandable to make that assumption. |
| 1:04.8 | You do have a history of threats online this week. |
| 1:11.3 | Threats for people who deserved it, like Sean Shapiro for his stupid relegation move. |
| 1:13.6 | And for the record, I didn't threaten him. |
| 1:15.7 | I just said the board of governors. |
| 1:17.0 | That's true. |
| 1:18.0 | Would probably take him out. |
| 1:22.8 | You did the, hey, either pay this bribe or something bad might happen to your family type of vibe. |
| 1:24.3 | Not that. |
| 1:27.1 | Not so specific, Brad. |
| 1:28.2 | That's called a liability. That's called a loose end right there |
