Summary
In one of the most insane NHL Trade Deadline leadups in NHL history, the Detroit Red Wings were a big part of the festivities: Larkin signing, Hronek traded, Walman extended, Bertuzzi, Vrana & others back on the market - CHAOS
Tune in as we start by discussing Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin finally signing his new contract, keeping him in Hockey for 8 years at $8.7 million per season. How will this contract age with trade clauses, buyout options, and salary structure? Was this fair value, did Larkin take a discount, or did Steve Yzerman overpay? What does this mean for Detroit's future down the middle & in the overall rebuild? Enjoy our full contract breakdown as the wait to extend the Red Wings captain finally ends (6:45).
Next, some earlier news that Jake Walman also signed a contract extension in Detroit - what does his 3 year, $3.4 million per year deal mean for his future, Detroit's flexibility to trade in the future, Moritz Seider's top line partner, Edvinsson, Johansson, & others (19:20)
After a disastrous set of games against Ottawa, we break down how that affected Yzerman's decision-making surrounding the wild card playoff race (amidst a loaded Atlantic and Eastern conference) (27:40), which led into his blockbuster trade moving Filip Hronek to the Vancouver Canucks. We analyze who won the deal, how it compared to the return for Chychrun, whether Yzerman was selling high on Hronek or if the Canucks made a surprise offer, & the options Yzerman has with the New York Islanders' 1st round pick in 2023 (35:30).
Next, a broader discussion on what's coming next for the Detroit Red Wings rebuild. Is Yzerman looking for a full breakdown & extension of the rebuild, or a quick reset in which he could pursue players like Parayko, Thomas, Kyrou, or others (45:45)? With Tyler Bertuzzi back on the trade block (especially after the Jeannot trade return), we analyze potential trade partners, returns, & options for him (56:00), as well as other likely trade candidates: Jakub Vrana, Filip Zadina, & even possibly the likes of Sundqvist, Suter, Perron, & others (1:09:40).
In addition to discussion Detroit's NHL Trade Deadline possibilities, we take a quick look at the insane trades that have already taken place (1:21:25) & LOTS more before taking your questions during Overtime (1:29:00) - enjoy!
