Winged Wheel Podcast - A Detroit Red Wings Podcast

Don't let Lucas Raymond get hot! Tune in as (after a quick practical joke on a returning Evan Lobsinger) we cover the Detroit Red Wings and their 2 (TWO) game winning streak, including a merciful final game to get the season sweep against Patrick Roy's New York Islanders, including Moritz Seider, Lucas Raymond, Dylan Larkin, Simon Edvinsson, and Alex Lyon's contributions in the win (4:50), as well as Alex DeBrincat, Lucas Raymond, Cam Talbot, and Simon Edvinsson helping Derek Lalonde's squad to win a grind of a game against the Calgary Flames (11:50). Next, we discuss Lucas Raymond heating up and finding his scoring touch & what his upper ceiling may be offensively (23:55), as well as just how good Moritz Seider and especially Simon Edvinsson have been (28:20). We then take a look at the NHL trade market, and whether Steve Yzerman has one or two crown jewels in Alex Lyon and Cam Talbot for teams looking to compete for the Stanley Cup (Edmonton Oilers, Colorado Avalanche, Carolina Hurricanes), what a return would look like, and whether he should even consider trading some of Hockeytown's best players this season (or someone like Patrick Kane down the road) (35:35). After that, Detroit Red Wings system news including Axel Sandin Pellikka leading the way in the SHL and William Lagesson maybe going a biiit too far with the Grand Rapids Griffins in the AHL (48:10). Finally, NHL news including potential roster blow-ups for the New York Rangers (Kreider? Trouba?) and the Ottawa Senators (Stutzle? Norris?) (56:40) before we take your questions & comments in our Overtime segment (1:01:50) - enjoy!
