With the 2025 NHL Entry Draft almost here, it's time to do one last Mock and a Detroit Red Wings roundtable featuring Max Bultman of the Athletic Detroit and Prashanth Iyer!
Tune in as we start by going through a 5 man, 2025 NHL 1st round mock draft (picks below), including who we would pick if we were Steve Yzerman adding the next prospect to Hockeytown's pipeline: a forward to add to the core of Dylan Larkin, Lucas Raymond, Marco Kasper, Alex DeBrincat, and Patrick Kane? A defenseman to help Moritz Seider, Simon Edvinsson, Axel Sandin Pellikka, and Albert Johansson? (5:00)
Plus, our Detroit Red Wings roundtable as we approach NHL Free Agency and a big offseason for Steve Yzerman (55:35), and reactions to surprising NHL trades (including Peterka to the Utah Mammoth, Evander Kane to the Canucks, and Zegras to the Flyers) (1:11:15).
All of that & plenty more before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment (1:25:10) - 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. |
0:27.6 | So I was making kebabs on the grill tonight for dinner, and when I started it, I like singed off like half my arm hair what I need |
0:40.3 | from you guys is to have takes hot enough to sing the rest of it because it looks ridiculous just |
0:45.7 | half burnt off right now smells horrible too was a kebab good kebab was really good |
0:51.9 | it's a little plus fuzzy but good otherwise. |
0:54.8 | Yeah, that's right. |
0:55.5 | No, this was pre-Khab wasn't on yet when I turned the grill on, obviously. |
1:00.1 | I'm not a better or smarter person than to try to equally singe the other side. |
1:05.6 | Like hearing that, I'm like, I might have tried to even that out. |

1:18.4 | hair smelled in a ruin your kebab for you. Good for you. I seasoned very heavily. Well, |
1:23.8 | that's about as appropriate of an opening as our first Red Wings roundtable. |
1:29.4 | God knows how many months. |
1:31.4 | And our final mock draft before the 2025 draft, the whole conversation we had before we were recording was absolutely ludicrous and off the rails, which is appropriate for this mock draft because Max and Prachanth, you guys were talking between |
1:45.3 | like expert analyst consensus and team consensus. This is all over the board. Yes. I mean, |
1:52.7 | it is interesting. I was putting together our consensus big board at the athletic this week. And in |
1:57.7 | some ways, like the top, a lot of the same names are showing up in the top 11 or 12, |
2:03.3 | but very different orders, which I feel like is kind of an every year thing. And then every |
