In this week’s episode of The Flying Octopus podcast, the guys revisit the 2025 NHL Trade Deadline. Included are thoughts on the Red Wings trade with Chicago for Petr Mrazek and Craig Smith for Joe Veleno. We’ll also discuss the biggest trades of the day and discuss what moves we were hoping to see Detroit make. Carter Mazur’s debut did not go as planned and Devin breaks down what’s next for one of the Red Wings top prospects. Plus we’ll revisit the Jake Walman trade and try to analyze how the former Red Wing fetched a first round pick in a trade from San Jose to Edmonton. All that and more coming up on Episode 25 of The Flying Octopus Podcast

The average fan is not on social media taking polls. Those are the hyperactive fans. It would be nice if you would stop acting like all the fans are up in arms because they're not.
the problem is name one FA signing that is worth the contract that was signed …………………………..
still waiting…………….
if they were good contracts, or short term, the wings could have sold into the sellers market.
and should have put walman on waivers first before trading him, if you didn't have PATIENCE to wait til closer to training camp.
good show, nice analogies…tbh Yzerman has to be held accountable for everything associated with pro scouting and signings. They could not have been worse. Also, he held onto Lalonde over 1 year too long. Almost every knowledgeable fan called for that firing a year before it happened.
really miss the Russians 5 would like to see more of them.
Evan "Wings are up 2-0 by the way on the Caps." Hah.

Didn’t even try to waive Walman. That is absolute terrible management. Yzerman probably would have spent that cap space on Stamkos which would have been another bad free agent contract on the books. He’s lucky the Predators gave him the term he wanted if that was his target.
