It’s almost Trade Deadline time, which means it’s time for us to do the impossible: discuss what Steve Yzerman might do.
Tune in as we open with Detroit Red Wings news, the unfortunate development of Dylan Larkin’s injury, what it mean’s for Hockeytown’s playoff push, Veleno stepping in with DeBrincat and Kane, Kasper or other Griffins not coming up, how Raymond & others have to step up, & more on Lalonde’s squad (3:55).
Next, we analyze the flurry of trades that have already taken place in the NHL, including the movement of players WHILE we recorded: Hanifin, Byram, Middelstadt, Walker, Henrique, Tarasenko, Mantha, & others. Also, how the Flyers selling could help the Red Wings (15:15).
After that, we discuss Detroit’s needs at the deadline, and whether Yzerman will go for help on offense (Guentzel? Buchnevich? Rust?), defense (Chychrun?), or goalie (Markstrom?), or some other unforeseen move. We also discuss offloading Holl or other defensive contracts, & what we’re hearing through the rumor mill (31:35).
Importantly, Detroit’s salary cap situation with Moritz Seider and Lucas Raymond’s next contracts being negotiated, and what that means for the coming years. (51:20)
All of that & lots more before we take your questions and comments during our Overtime segment (1:01:50) – enjoy!

I don't normally believe in curses, but my god get rid of that stupid Priority patch. Team is playing like trash, even Mo is playing like trash.
The Avs game today is the first game all season I couldn't finish watching.
Time for Steve to sell. This is a repeat of last year's back to back beatings from Ottawa
said a whole lot of nothing
SELL
For those of you saying this is the best Red Wings podcast you should really check out Locked On Red Wings, by the time Winged Wheel releases an episode it's old news and not up to date
Lucas Raymond agent are JP.Barry, the same agent as Pasta, Barzal and Dougie.H and so on.. Its not gone be an 8 year deal here, No way.
Moritz Seider agent are Claude Lemieux, No way he gone let his client sign a 8 year deal, not gone happening.
Steve Yzerman can be happy if he manages to sign both of these for 6 year contracts, I expect it to land around 3/5 year contracts. Which is good for RW, as they can both be signed at max length on their second contracts and take them both to the age of 30 without fitting the 30 year mark which takes them well into their mid 30's and past their prime, as a bad contract.
I dont mean to be "that guy" I dont get where people think this is a good team and a team that can compete in the playoffs (if they even make it lol) I dont see it even in a few years just way too many holes everywhere. Lyon is below average (statistically) our defense is laughable and though Raymond and Seider have taken a step it wasn't the step we thought. This is not a contender and won't be for a while. We can beat bad teams all day but when it comes to competing against good teams we aren't good enough.
We just got PUMPED by the Avs. We looked horrible. Not speaking out of emotion, we looked HORRIBLE. I really don’t think we’re going to make it boys. Call it a doomer take, but it looks bad. They looked worse than I’ve seen all season. I truly can’t recall a game last year where we looked this bad.
Defense looked absolutely pedestrian at best but realistically it was nonexistent. How were we being outsped by their entire roster?! not just Nate. Letting so many odd man rushes and just losing races with them charging straight at our net. Easily Seiders worst game of his career. Bad penalties. No puck possession either. Plain awful.
With what it took for Vegas to get Hanafin, I can’t imagine why Steve wouldn’t be willing to pay that, and I really wish he would have. Would really help our D-core.
At this point I’m just really hoping Steve doesn’t see these past 3 games, and the Larkin injury and decides to sell
I’m tired of these veterans on this team. I want Edvinsson. Edvinsson should be up here already. Berggren should’ve been up here all season. I’d rather watch younger players make mistakes and learn then watch meaningless hockey from vets who are not going to be here in the future. Other teams are sticking young players in there lineups and they are learning and growing.
Really bad is correct when talking about petry
All year I've felt this team is a mirage, then Jan and Feb came then I was starting to believe. Now my initial thoughts have come to fruition. Edvidson may help but not enough. Stop blaming the patch, I'm superstious at times but that's nonsense, this team is what they are.
Colorado thumped this team and Vegas did get Hannifin
Where are Kasper, Wallander, and Edvinsson? So frustrating not EVEN getting a look.
No way Yzerman is making a move, 2nd best prospect pool in the NHL and the fact that this team is still in it and can play good hockey when healthy (i.e. when Larkin is healthy), he takes the chance and sees what we can do this year. Think back to October everyone, the highest expectation was meaningful games coming down the stretch and that's what we're getting. There's still time for this team, LGRW! And I know it's sacrilege for a Wings fan to say this but as a hockey fan, my God, is Colorado good. if the Wings aren't going on a deep run this year, a Avs/Panthers final would be insane.
What is this the clueless bandwagon comments thread?? LET ME REMIND EVERYONE. Yzerman already made up his mind on what he wants to do in January(just like he did last year) not just a week ago. I believe Yzerman stays put with this current roster and calls any result a win cuz of the statistical improvements. Idk why we're still getting prospects complaints in mid-late season but seriously zip it, it's old. Everyone is acting like the sky is falling being chased by a mid NYI playoff team.
Want to improve your defence? Call up edvinsson/johansson .. we’re in no position to be adding guys shorterm when we won’t be winning squat. Heck even pens now if they win the games in hand will be 4 pts back
We’re not even certain to make the playoffs . Add someone young with term or call up the kids giving up top assets and adding buchnevich or vatrano,chychrun makes zero sense when they can walk in 2025
And stay the f*ck away from Brian rust
