In this week’s episode of The Flying Octopus Podcast, the fellas kick things off by sharing what they’ve seen in Detroit’s most recent preseason games, including top performers, coaching strategy, and more. The guys then transition to what Detroit’s lineup could look like opening night vs. Montreal and discuss the roster battles still at hand. How many prospects will force their way onto the team this year? And finally, the group offers their bold predictions for the 2025-26 season and sound off on a few rapid-fire questions about this year’s Red Wings team.

Been repeating these three things since training camp started:
1. Finney is an All-star within 5 years. Skates like Kariya and wins pucks like Zetterberg
2. ASP is already the 3rd best D in the organization and will be 1st power play within 2 years. Seider is good, but ASP is special, great shot and I have not seen anyone walk the blue line like him…there is no comparison
3. MBN's shot reminds me of Shanny. Absolute missiles and there are just some people whose shot is just "heavy" like it is going to blast through the goaltender.
ASP is already better than Hamonic, Holl and Gus
My Detroit Red Wings 2027-2028 line-up:
Finnie Larkin Raymond
DeBrincat? Kasper MBN
Bear Danielson Buchelnikov
Lombardi Soderblom Mazur
Rasmussen
Johansson Seider
Edvidsson ASP
Buium Johansson
Wallinder
Gibson?
Cossa

Really looking forward to seeing Marco Kasper play with the Cat and Kane for a full season! That line is going to be difficult to match for other teams
I don’t what is showing out more.
Emmitt Finnie looking awesome or Devin’s hair.
Appreciate the show.
