Summary
The NHL Draft is nearly upon us, so of course the Detroit Red Wings & rest of the league start buzzing with trade rumors, Hall of Fame controversy, & more.
Tune in as we open by discussing Steve Yzerman's press conference, in which he discussed the possibility of trading vs. keeping pick 9, 17, 41, 42, & 43, if he's worried about drafting Russians like Michkov, Simashev, or But, Walman, Evinsson, & Kasper being on track, building his core around Larkin, Seider, & Raymond, & more (3:35).
Next, the 2023 Hockey Hall of Fame inductees: Mike Vernon, Pierre Turgeon, Caroline Ouelette, Henrik Lundqvist, Tom Barrasso, Pierre Lacroix, & Ken Hitchcock - no Henrik Zetterberg, Alex Mogilny, Rod Brind'Amour, Chris Osgood, or others. How does Vernon boost Osgood's case? Does Zetterberg go in with Datsyuk (16:35)?
Next, NHL trade rumors involving Hockeytown: Alex DeBrincat - is a deal possible with Zadina and a pick? Also, Yzerman "kicking tires" on Kevin Hayes & Travis Konecny - what their acquisition costs would be and whether they'd be good fits in Detroit (26:28).
After that, Danil But's NHL Draft Prospect Profile, as we evaluate whether the big Russian winger would be a more talented Soderblom-type coming out of the draft (and how he compares to Honzek, Danielson, etc.) (44:05).
Finally, some NHL some, including Vancouver buying out Oliver Ekman-Larsson (50:50) & more before we take your questions for Overtime (56:00)!

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the winged wheel podcast. Here to talk all things hockey are your hosts Brad |
| 0:10.8 | Crisco, Ryan Hanna, and Evan Lopsinger. |
| 0:13.4 | Well, I think all arguments against Chris Osgood to the Hall of Fame are out the window now. |
| 0:24.0 | Yeah, his case got so much better today. |
| 0:26.3 | It got absolutely cemented today. |
| 0:28.6 | He's going to have to wait 100 years for the next batch of goleys to be inducteded in bulk which is apparently what we're doing but |
| 0:34.8 | as I'm not sure where you stood Evan but I think I was closer to you Brad where it was like I could |
| 0:40.6 | see the case for Osgood but not really one that I was hammering in terms of worthy Hall of Fame candidates and that's just out the window. |
| 0:47.0 | Yeah, if it was still the Hall of Fame I did not have Ozzy on any of my ballots. |
| 0:54.0 | Zetterberg would have been a fringe case to me, |
| 0:56.0 | but given the standard that's been said over the last, |
| 0:58.0 | you know, five or so years |
| 1:00.0 | and this is |
| 1:04.0 | a class especially cementing that it's the Hall of Very Good |
| 1:05.0 | and there's not a person on the planet who can argue that Ozzy wasn't very good. |
| 1:09.0 | Agreed. |
| 1:10.0 | Well, Mike Vernon got in. |
| 1:12.0 | That's cool. |
| 1:13.0 | Red Wings, this is now a show campaigning for Red Wings' goalies who have fought Patrick Waugh |
| 1:18.0 | to get into the Hall of Fame. |
| 1:21.0 | We're 50% successful. |
| 1:22.0 | It is, uh, it's telling of the energy. of that this is our last episode before our full 2023 NHL draft preview and most of our topics are not, you know, completely draft related. |
