Summary

We interrupt the never-ending "Alex DeBrincat may be traded to the Detroit Red Wings" rumors with some surprising news in the Filip Zadina saga!

Tune in as we start by discussing the end of the Filip Zadina story in Hockeytown, as Steve Yzerman has placed Zadina on unconditional waivers for the purpose of contract termination. We discuss how we got from drafting Zadina 6th overall to mutually agreeing to part ways, why Zadina couldn't crack the Red Wings roster under Blashill or Zadina, how this affects Yzerman's "Yzerplan", what's next for Zadina, how badly Zadina over Hughes, Bouchard, or others hurt the rebuild, & lots more (4:40).

Next, we're joined by Max Bultman of The Athletic Detroit to discuss Yzerman's free agency signings in JT Compher, Justin Holl, Shayne Gostisbehere, Daniel Sprong, Alex Lyon, James Reimer, Christian Fischer, & others. We discuss how this affects Detroit's outlook in the coming season & in the rebuild, & whether Berggren, Kasper, & Soderblom may be on the outs. Also, the Red Wings draft class headlined by Nate Danielson and Axel Sandin Pellikka, thoughts on the Zadina situation, & lots more (25:35).

We also tempt fate by discussing the latest on the Alex DeBrincat situation, as Steve Yzerman & Pierre Dorion play trade chicken while Lou & the Islanders may factor in (1:03:25) before giving an overdue update & debate on the buyout of Kailer Yamamoto (1:14:45). After that, some NHL news (1:23:10) before we take your questions during Overtime (1:26:30) - enjoy this soon-to-be-expiring episode!
