In this week’s episode of The Flying Octopus Podcast, the fellas analyze Detroit’s successful four-game road trip and the impact it had on the Eastern Conference playoff race. After touching on how Elmer Soderblom, Albert Johansson, and Marco Kasper have adapted to the NHL pace of play, the guys transition to a deep dive on how Detroit’s roster is constructed and their confidence level in the player groups.

Its interesting to me the narrative difference between Chiarot/Seider and Ed/Ajo, because if you look at the underlying numbers since Petry has been out, Chiarot/Seider have better defensive numbers. Ed/Ajo have do more offense, and but also currently have a 108 PDO compared to Ben and Mo's 96
What do you guys think about the possibility of Todd McLellan trying out Soderblom at center? Imagine having a top 6 look like this:
Kasper Larkin Raymond
DeBrincat Soderblom Kane
I know that might be asking a lot from Soderblom, and he hasn't played center a whole lot recently. I would be curious how it could turn out.
