As the news of Alex DeBrincat joining the Detroit Red Wings really settles in, we gather ourselves to take a deeper look at just how his approach will affect the Hockeytown lineup.

Tune in as we open by discussing where Alex DeBrincat will play in the lineup, how this may affect Dylan Larkin & Lucas Raymond, which of Perron, Rasmussen, Fabbri, or others will play on the 2nd line next to Compher or Copp, what happens on the power play with Seider or Gostisbehere QBing, & lots more (3:55).

After that, we update you on Nate Danielson signing his ELC, what the CHL-NHL agreement means for where he'll play (going back to Brandon Wheat Kings in the CHL?), when he can join the AHL's Grand Rapids Griffins, his chances of making the Red Wings out of training camp (over the likes of Marco Kasper, Carter Mazur, Elmer Soderblom, & others), & lots more (50:50).
