Summary
A full offseason of Todd McLellan - how much change can that actually bring to the Detroit Red Wings?
After opening with a follow-up on the Sergei Fedorov white skates discussion (0:00), tune in as we discuss how much a full offseason, training camp, and preseason of Todd McLellan's gameplans and strategies can impact the Detroit Red Wings. Can he find a bolt-on top 6 forward solution alongside Dylan Larkin, Lucas Raymond, Moritz Seider, Alex DeBrincat, and Patrick Kane? Will he reshuffle the defense and allow Simon Edvinsson to join Moritz Seider? Will Nate Danielson or Carter Mazur excel under the Toddfather? How much will John Gibson lift the Hockeytown team? (7:30)
Next, a look at team USA Olympic hopefuls, including Dylan Larkin and Patrick Kane, Alex DeBrincat being snubbed, & more (33:30). Also, Frank Nazar's contract & how he compares to Marco Kasper, Marco Rossi signing in Minnesota, Lane Hutson's path, McTavish update, & more (44:25) before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment (54:15) - enjoy!

| 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. |
| 0:30.5 | Ten and a half years doing this show. |
| 0:33.2 | I think we're past 850 episodes, if I remember correctly, we're near on 900 at some point in the next, you know, half year or so. |
| 0:42.9 | We should know in general when we talk about something, what the reception will be or how into it people will be. |
| 0:50.5 | And really what we should know is that even almost 900 episodes in there are always surprises. |
| 0:56.5 | Because out of the entire Federoff episode, what are people most passionate about? |
| 1:02.1 | Our silly discussion at the end of the show, it was like 11.30 at night. |
| 1:06.4 | And I just threw out there, who could wear the white skates? |
| 1:09.0 | And let me tell you, we didn't bring our best, folks. |
| 1:12.9 | A lot of good options in the comments. |
| 1:16.8 | A couple we definitely should have got. |
| 1:20.0 | The ones we did throw out there, nobody really seemed to disagree with, I will say. |
| 1:23.8 | We did get killed for forgetting two guys specifically. |
| 1:26.8 | Was that Nylander and Carlson? Yeah. |
| 1:30.4 | Ovechkin was another one that was throwing out there. The Neelander one, I'd argue against a little bit. He |
| 1:35.5 | absolutely has the flare and like the style to do it. But I just, with his spray painted white stick and the |
| 1:41.7 | white tape and the white leafs uniform, he'd be like |
| 1:44.8 | an ass hair away from looking like he's wearing a hazmat uniform. |
| 1:47.8 | He looks like moon night out there. |
| 1:49.2 | Yeah, like there might be a limit to how much he can do. |
