We start with the news that Steve Yzerman & Todd McLellan have selected all 3 Red Wings rookies to make the opening night Hockeytown roster in Emmitt Finnie, Michael Brandsegg-Nygard, and Axel Sandin-Pellikka, before starting our analysis, predictions, & outlook with the forwards: Dylan Larkin, Lucas Raymond, Emmitt Finnie, Marco Kasper, Alex DeBrincat, Patrick Kane, Michael Brandsegg-Nygard, and the rest of Detroit’s forward group (including Andrew Copp, J.T. Compher, Mason Appleton, Elmer Soderblom, Michael Rasmussen, Jonatan Berggren, & James van Riemsdyk).

After that, the defense: Moritz Seider, Simon Edvinsson, Axel Sandin-Pellikka, Albert Johansson, & the rest of Todd McLellan & Trent Yawney’s blue line in Ben Chiarot, Travis Hamonic, Jacob Bernard-Docker, & Erik Gustafsson.

Next, the goalies in John Gibson & Cam Talbot (with a potential appearance from Sebastian Cossa) before jumping into the “Todd McLellan Effect”, power play & penalty kill, & more from Steve Yzerman’s personnel. Finally, our predictions on team MVP, points leaders, most improved players, Detroit Red Wings point totals, and whether or not they’ll make the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

We also cover the crazy contract news that has rolled through the NHL, including Connor McDavid, Mattias Ekholm, Jake Walman, Kyle Connor, Jack Eichel, & more before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment – enjoy!

  1. I'm looking forward to the Chiclets boys being forced to talk about the Red Wings, none of this existed the last time we were a dominant team.

  2. The best chirp I ever heard was Shane Doan roasting Abdelkader at the end of the 2013 season. He said "you are on a line with Datsyuk and Zetterberg and you only have 13 points? You should be ashamed of yourself."

  3. Crazy this podcast said none of the draft picks were nhl ready 3 weeks ago. Thats the point untik they are given a shot you cant ever say they arent ready or ready. Finally we cut some bad veterans ans put 3 top.prospexts in lineup . This city has ruined young guys by playing bad veterans. There is no way copp compher qnd rasmusen should all 3 still have a job. Their stats blow all 3 years. They cant fight , they aint tough, they dont produce. 2 of them are grossly overpaid.

    I thjnk pelikka and edvinson is gona be better then seider ans chariot. Chariot sucks

  4. Jvr copp compher rassmusse. One or 2 of those 4 guys should be replaced by danielson and 2.of them should be traded for water bottles and a 4th round pick.

  5. After not promoting a single rookie in 2023-24, we start this season with:
    Two players in their 3rd season
    Three players in their 2nd season
    and three rookies. This is the most excitement I have felt since April 19, 2019.

  6. Gonna see more Mo fights this this year with a better 2nd D line. Can't wait to see Mo lay a few more Kronwalled hits like his rookie year

  7. Finnie is gonna play tambourine for Larkin and Ray Ray

    MBN will be the lead singer of the 3rd line.

    I love it. Its the only way it makes sense, MBN gets muted on the top line and as a Swiss army knife of hockey, he can play up to his ceiling more being able to drive the 3rd line.

    Finnie is equally as important, but he's up to be smart, fast, and support.
