Summary
This Detroit Red Wings podcast ft. Max Bultman of The Athletic Detroit digs into Moritz Seider's Norris Trophy snub & what's brewing with Red Wings prospects in Grand Rapids. Griffins news and analysis covers the AHL playoff run, Postava's emergence, and Red Wings trade ideas - Matvei Michkov, Auston Matthews, & more.
(00:00) - Intro
Johansson vs. Johansson - settled once and for all.
(03:55) - Moritz Seider's Norris Trophy Snub
Max walks through his ballot and why Seider belonged in the top three despite a loaded field of defensemen this year.
(15:40) - Selke Trophy and Award Categories
Debate on whether the NHL needs a best offensive defenseman award and the inconsistencies in Selke voting.
(24:15) - Red Wings Overseas & Albert Johansson's Future
Seider captaining Germany, Justin Faulk wearing the C for Team USA, Max Plante's highlight reel, Emmitt Finnie on Team Canada, and Lucas Raymond looking healthy with Sweden alongside Albert Johansson. Also, why Johansson could push for a top-four role next season and how that reshapes the Red Wings blue line behind Seider and Simon Edvinsson.
(35:55) - Griffins Advance Past Manitoba
Anton Johansson's rat-like edge, Carter Mazur's two-goal night, and Axel Sandin-Pellikka's highlight goal push Dan Watson's Griffins to advance in the Calder Cup playoffs. Also, is MBN ready for a third-line role in Detroit, or does another year in Grand Rapids serve him better?
(46:40) - Postava and the Sebastian Cossa Question
Postava's resume, the Trey Augustine depth, and whether Cossa becomes a trade chip this summer with Edmonton knocking.
(1:07:55) - NHL News - Hurricanes Buzzsaw & Trade Speculation
Carolina's 8-0 start and why the Stankoven-Hall-Jackson-Blake line has been the playoffs' best. Matvei Michkov scratched in Philly and whether Steve Yzerman should take the swing on him or Auston Matthews.
(1:22:20) - Overtime Questions
Offer sheet ideas for Leo Carlsson, arena rankings, Marco Kasper hypotheticals, and Carter Bear's WHL Finals tear.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Wingwheel podcast, the number one source for news, analysis, and discussion on the Detroit Red Wings, the NHL, and all things hockey. |
| 0:19.2 | Here are your hosts, Brian Hanna, Brad Criscoe, and Evan Lopsinger. |
| 0:28.5 | Did it again, messed up a pronunciation, and then right afterwards realized my mistake |
| 0:35.0 | was talking to Ken, and I did a whole thing last episode about |
| 0:39.4 | how the Anton Johansen and Albert Johansson thing is going to be difficult. |
| 0:44.3 | Wrong, stupid. |
| 0:45.3 | We went over this. |
| 0:46.4 | And not only did we go over this in the past, Ken went to painstaking lengths to send me |
| 0:51.3 | the recording of how Anton Johansson wants his name pronounced and how it is pronounced. |
| 0:56.3 | So they are both Johansansans. |
| 0:59.0 | So that actually does simplify things, at least if you're calling the game, but you'd think 11 years into this would be better at the whole Swedish name thing. |

| 1:13.7 | Johansson, Johansen, and that's more confusing. |
| 1:16.9 | So I think it's just that last name's become irrelevant. |
| 1:19.7 | They should draft a third Johansen. |
| 1:21.6 | There's got to be like three available in this draft statistically, right? |
| 1:25.4 | Like any given draft, are there more Johanson's available than, like, Slovenian players? |
| 1:30.4 | Probably have to be. |
| 1:32.0 | When we start prospect profiles, I'll let you know. |
| 1:34.9 | If not, if not, I'll do my deep dive. |
| 1:36.7 | There's definitely some guy from Kitchener named Joseph Hansen, who we can just call Joe Hansen. |
