The Red Wings get dominated by Carolina in a forgettable performance in which Cam Talbot wasn't the only one struggling - exactly what everyone predicted would happen.

| 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 | That time of year, we're officially on notice. |
| 0:32.6 | Any second now. |
| 0:35.5 | Prospect profiles? |
| 0:37.6 | No, no. |
| 0:39.1 | I was actually thinking about that. |
| 0:40.2 | I was like, thank God. |
| 0:42.0 | Like, as this team gets better, we just have to focus on that less and less. |
| 0:45.3 | And like, there were moments this year. |
| 0:47.3 | I think in November, people were like, hey, you're going to get started on those earlier than 2026. |
| 0:54.4 | So they, I'm glad for glad for the huge December they had. |

It could also be a different Canuck or, you know, a Robert Thomas or someone else, but no, right now it's Tyler Myers is the big one. Trade season's funny. |
| 1:31.0 | I'm not going to sit here and complain that Detroit's at the center of everything, but it is much the same way Red Wings fans have been hurt before when it comes to playoff pushes. They've been hurt before a little bit when it comes to trade rumors and trade season. We've been hurt by the draft lottery. |
| 1:45.6 | We'll be hurt by the trade deadline. |
| 1:47.5 | We're just moving our pain from one area to the next. |
