This Detroit Red Wings podcast ft. Max Bultman of The Athletic Detroit digs into Moritz Seider’s Norris Trophy snub & what’s brewing with Red Wings prospects in Grand Rapids. Griffins news and analysis covers the AHL playoff run, Postava’s emergence, and Red Wings trade ideas – Matvei Michkov, Auston Matthews, & more.
(00:00) – Intro
Johansson vs. Johansson – settled once and for all.
(03:55) – Moritz Seider’s Norris Trophy Snub
Max walks through his ballot and why Seider belonged in the top three despite a loaded field of defensemen this year.
(15:40) – Selke Trophy and Award Categories
Debate on whether the NHL needs a best offensive defenseman award and the inconsistencies in Selke voting.
(24:15) – Red Wings Overseas & Albert Johansson’s Future
Seider captaining Germany, Justin Faulk wearing the C for Team USA, Max Plante’s highlight reel, Emmitt Finnie on Team Canada, and Lucas Raymond looking healthy with Sweden alongside Albert Johansson. Also, why Johansson could push for a top-four role next season and how that reshapes the Red Wings blue line behind Seider and Simon Edvinsson.
(37:00) – Griffins Advance Past Manitoba
Anton Johansson’s rat-like edge, Carter Mazur’s two-goal night, and Axel Sandin-Pellikka’s highlight goal push Dan Watson’s Griffins to advance in the Calder Cup playoffs. Also, is MBN ready for a third-line role in Detroit, or does another year in Grand Rapids serve him better?
