Summary

Steve Yzerman has spoken as NHL Free Agency Frenzy has come to a close...but does that mean the Detroit Red Wings are done making moves?

Tune in as we discuss what Steve Yzerman told the media about not getting a chance to pitch free agents like Marner or Ehlers to come to Hockeytown, the Detroit Red Wings' interest in Marchment, Arvidsson, and others, who could step into the top 6 alongside Dylan Larkin, Lucas Raymond, Marco Kasper, Patrick Kane, and Alex DeBrincat (Soderblom or Berggen, or trade for Rust or Rakell?), whether a trade is the best route (Bowen Byram? Rasmus Andersson? Erik Karlsson?) to get a top 4 defenseman alongside Mortiz Seider, Simon Edvinsson, and Albert Johansson, how much of a difference the John Gibson & Cam Talbot tandem can make, & more. Also, Christian Fischer's retirement from the NHL (4:25)!

After that, we take a look at potential 2026 NHL free agents, including Connor McDavid, Kirill Kaprizov, Kyle Connor, Jack Eichel, & many more big names and whether they could potentially be targets for Steve Yzerman & the Detroit Red Wings (plus notes on Mason McTavish, Nikolaj Ehlers, and Orlov) (35:10) before jumping into the new agreement between the NHL & NHLPA, and what the updated CBA has in store for the league's rules (45:25).

All of that & plenty more before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment (1:09:50) - enjoy!

Here are your hosts, Ryan Hanna, Brad Criscoe, and Evan Lopsinger.

0:27.6

Ever since we got to the new studio and then, you know, you guys with no regard for

0:35.7

the viewers originally switched sides.

0:38.1

And everyone was like, switched back now.

0:40.4

And then it took a few episodes, but eventually you switched sides again.

0:43.5

And I don't know if this is where we'll stick in this order, but a development has come up where the commentary on Evan's legs has been.

0:53.9

I can't wear shorts anymore.

0:56.4

Well, it was a lot of thigh.

0:59.3

And then it progressed into people talking about why your kneecaps were so white.

kneecaps and last episode you were wearing pants because I think you were just tired of the the

1:33.0

I'm telling you, this is, that's our revenue stream right there.

1:35.5

Like, that's how this show takes off is we, this is already dangerous to start the episode with, but we monetize Evans' legs.
