Summary

Valenti and Rico got today's show started with a mock trade involving Sam LaPorta, discussing if they'd make the deal if they were Brad Holmes. Then, they got into their main topic of the day: who to blame (besides Yzerman) for the Red Wings collapsing again in March. The guys paused briefly from this to wonder if the Tigers should extend Kevin McGonigle long-term before they returned to the Red Wings talk in the final hour.
