LARKIN'S 10 TEAM TRADE LIST and Edvinsson Meets with the Red Wings - Oct. 21st, 2026
2026/10/22
Dylan Larkin's 10-team trade list is out, & the Utah Mammoth may change the outlook. This Detroit Red Wings podcast also covers Simon Edvinsson's contract meeting & the Red Wings vs Kraken recap in a 4-3 shootout loss to open a West Coast road trip. (00:00) - Intro The Finnie turtlenecks are coming. (04:00) - Larkin's Ten-Team Trade List Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports the 10 teams Dylan Larkin would accept in his trade request, and Utah and New Jersey are among the new names. Utah's prospect pool could spark a bidding war with Desnoyers and Iginla being targets, but Elliotte Friedman reports the Mammoth aren't keen on moving their top young pieces, and they're known as brutal trade partners. (20:00) - Montreal Omission & Prospect Targets Montreal and every other Canadian team are still missing from the list, so which prospects would be an automatic yes? Tij Iginla or Caleb Desnoyers would get a yes as the headliner of a package, while prying a top prospect like Cole Hutson or Ilya Protas out of Washington is an extreme long shot. (24:20) - Ownership's Win-Now Mandate Chris Ilitch wants to win now, but demanding NHL-ready players in a trade while stalling on Simon Edvinsson's contract doesn't add up. (33:30) - Edvinsson Contract Meeting Pierre LeBrun reports Simon Edvinsson and agent J.P. Barry met face to face with the Red Wings this past weekend, though the read is that Edvinsson's side still prefers a trade. LeBrun points to the Bowen Byram, Sergachev, and Dobson trades as comparables, but with a December 1 deadline to sign him for this season, waiting out the contract standoff might be the smart play for Horcoff. (51:05) - Kraken Comeback & Shootout Down 3-0 with 11 shots through two periods, Detroit claws back on goals from Viktor Arvidsson and Lucas Raymond, whose power play tally is his first of the season. Alex DeBrincat ties it with 16 seconds left to stretch the point streak to five games, but Dylan Larkin can't convert the final attempt of the shootout. (01:00:25) - Around the NHL Henrik Zetterberg has his number retired by Timrå, and the Penguins' Ben Kindel is conscious and stable after a medical scare turned the team plane around. Plus, Ottawa fans' signs for Brady Tkachuk's homecoming and Connor McDavid's 243-point pace with six goals and 20 assists through nine games. (01:05:10) - Overtime Mailbag Your questions on Trevor Connelly's hot start in Vegas and Jimmy Devellano saying the Red Wings and Dylan Larkin have "kind of kissed and made up." Plus, Michael Rasmussen's heavy minutes, Carter Mazur's outlook and why the Red Wings lineup runs 11 forwards and seven defensemen. ----- WWP Night at the LCA dates announced!

Larkin Trade Theory, Edvinsson Watch, and Seider: German Machine - Oct. 18th, 2026
2026/10/19
Two straight wins for the first time this season! This Detroit Red Wings podcast brings the Red Wings vs Flyers and Sharks recaps, from Anton Johansson's first NHL goal in a 2-1 win to Moritz Seider's stalwart play & Lucas Raymond's shootout winner in Saturday's comeback. (00:00) - Intro & Rasmussen Reverse Jinx Calling out Michael Rasmussen's point drought last episode worked! (05:30) - Red Wings Game Recaps Johansson skips a line change coming out of the penalty box to score on a two-on-one, and Andrew Copp buries the late winner against a winless Philadelphia team. Down 3-1 in the third to San Jose, Detroit gets more stellar play from Finnie & MBN, Alex DeBrincat's tying goal with about a minute and a half left, and nearly 30 minutes from Moritz Seider. (31:30) - Bernard-Docker On Waivers Jacob Bernard-Docker, signed through next season at $1.6 million, goes unclaimed and heads to Grand Rapids, a vote of confidence in Detroit's young right-handed defensemen. (36:20) - Edvinsson Sighting Simon Edvinsson pops up at a Colgate women's hockey pregame skate in a Red Wings practice jersey and a Boston University helmet - sign a contract is close, or just noise? (39:10) - Larkin Montreal Trade Theory & Red Wings Notess Ryan's tinfoil-hat theory is that Detroit and Montreal both want to settle Larkin's trade request together, with Canadiens prospect Michael Hage as the dream return, even though most call him a non-starter. Plus, Michael Brandsegg-Nygard sits tied for second in rookie scoring playing alongside 1C Emmitt Finnie, and the Rangers kick tires on goalies with John Gibson's name in the mix. (53:05) - Ilitch on Horcoff's Future Chris Ilitch tells a group of reporters that interim GM Shawn Horcoff is a candidate to have the tag removed but the GM/President of Hockey Ops search continues, right after Horcoff got the Alex DeBrincat contract done. Is Horcoff the president of hockey ops type? What's his path where he stays on as GM under one? (01:00:05) - Hellebuyck Suspension Fallout The Jets suspended Connor Hellebuyck without pay for about three weeks after he skipped training camp to push for a trade. With captain Adam Lowry saying there'll have to be a conversation, will Winnipeg play him at all? (01:04:05) - Overtime Mailbag Your questions on trading for Oilers forward Isaac Howard and MBN's Calder odds. Plus, why running 11 forwards and seven defensemen is the right lineup call and how Todd McLellan is deploying the kids. --- WWP Night at the LCA dates announced!

DeBRINCAT STAYS IN HOCKEYTOWN - Cat Signs 7 Years in Detroit and Horcoff Speaks - Oct. 14th, 2026
2026/10/15
Alex DeBrincat signs a seven-year, $91 million extension with the Red Wings, and this Detroit Red Wings podcast grades the deal and asks why Simon Edvinsson still isn't signed. Plus a Red Wings vs Devils recap of the 5-4 overtime loss, six games into the season. (00:00) - Intro A rare bit of optimism in Hockeytown as the DeBrincat extension news landed. Detroit finally gets a win, and everyone takes a turn at "we're so back." (04:50) - DeBrincat Extension Breakdown Alex DeBrincat stays with his hometown team for seven more years at $13 million a season. Our full contract breakdown and grade, details on trade protections, and a why it may be a statement from interim GM Shawn Horcoff and ownership that they'll take care of their guys. (16:05) - Red Wings Retool Timeline Committing to DeBrincat through age 36 rules out a teardown, even for a team with one win so far. Is this a two-to-three-year retool around Moritz Seider, Lucas Raymond, and the young core, or can it happen next season - and how much does the Dylan Larkin trade decide that? (23:25) - Edvinsson Contract Standoff Simon Edvinsson is headed back to North America to skate with a trainer his agency set up, but no trade or signing is done. Shawn Horcoff says he has "zero interest" in trading him - so after the DeBrincat deal, is the pressure finally on Edvinsson? (37:35) - Devils Game Recap Emmitt Finnie buries a perfect stretch pass from Michael Brandsegg-Nygard to give Detroit life, and Finnie returns the favor in the second. Alex DeBrincat ties it twice, but Jack Hughes wins it 5-4 on an overtime breakaway after a high-risk three-on-three pass from Raymond. (47:30) - Raymond Demotion & Rasmussen Drought Practice lines drop Lucas Raymond onto a line with Michael Rasmussen, and the numbers are brutal: 32 NHL goalies have recorded a point since Rasmussen's last one on January 5. Plus, Dylan Larkin still looks hurt - do you sit him while his trade request stands? (58:50) - Griffins Prospect Update Michal Postava opens 3-0 for the Grand Rapids Griffins with a 1.34 GAA and player of the week honors, making him the next goalie up in Detroit. Jesse Kiiskinen's seven points in five games make the case for a call-up, and Carter Bear scores his first goal. (01:04:00) - Overtime Mailbag Patron questions on Nate Danielson's slow start, whether a defenseman like Landon DuPont changes a franchise the way a center does, and Gary Bettman's look at movement clauses. Plus, Shawn Horcoff and Kris Draper scouting Danila Yurov as the Dylan Larkin trade talks continue. --- WWP Night at the LCA dates announced!

"WE WANT LARKIN"...in Montreal? and Edvinsson Standoff Continues - Oct. 11th, 2026
2026/10/11
Red Wings vs. Kraken & Canadiens recaps: Detroit blows a lead in a 6-3 loss, then falls 1-0 in a shootout. This Detroit Red Wings podcast also covers Simon Edvinsson's contract standoff & Bell Centre fans chanting for Dylan Larkin amid his trade request. (00:00) - Intro Wild times in the world of Hockeytown - is this Detroit's "gas leak" season? (04:00) - Kraken & Canadiens Losses William Wallinder and Michael Brandsegg-Nygard score their first NHL goals, but the Red Wings melted down and, as Todd McLellan put it, "the team got lazy and complacent". On the second night of the back-to-back, Daniil Tarasov is perfect through regulation, overtime and five shootout rounds while three goals get taken off the board, and Detroit still couldn't score. (24:10) - Nate Danielson & Shootout Choice Discussion on the offensive vs. defensive value of the Andrew Copp line. Also, Nate Danielson is playing without any confidence, and the hosts split on sending him out for the sixth round of the shootout. (35:50) - "We Want Larkin" Chant There's no playbook for a home crowd chanting for the visiting team's former captain while he's asking out of Detroit. Why Michael Hage isn't on the table, why Dylan Larkin likely isn't heading north of the border, & why Todd McLellan shut down questions about the distraction. (43:30) - Simon Edvinsson Contract Watch A report says Simon Edvinsson still prefers a trade while the Red Wings say they want to sign him, with a December 1 deadline looming. Why $10 million, just 9.62% of this year's cap, is the overpay worth making, and why Utah is the rumored front-runner if it comes to a trade. (01:01:00) - Shesterkin Injury & Gibson Trade With Igor Shesterkin out for the season, the hosts argue Detroit should call the Rangers about John Gibson now, likely for around a second-round pick. (01:04:25) - Overtime Mailbag Patrons ask how far Detroit has to sink before management acts, and one prediction is that they stand pat until a Justin Faulk trade for a second at the deadline. Plus, the top power play unit, why a $77 million, seven-year offer sheet for Edvinsson would cost four first-round picks, and whether trading him makes sense. --- WWP Night at the LCA dates announced!

Larkin Returns, Scores in Red Wings Win (and Edvinsson Negotiation Update) - Oct. 7th, 2026
2026/10/08
Dylan Larkin is back, trade request and all, as Detroit grabs its first win of the season, 5-3. This Detroit Red Wings podcast has the Red Wings vs Senators recap, updates on the Simon Edvinsson contract standoff, & Justin Faulk's highlight reel goal. (00:00) - Intro Justin Faulk splits the D and buries one from a tough angle, and Emmitt Finnie throws down in the end-of-period yard sale as we're finally talking positive hockey. (04:00) - Larkin's Return & Trade Outlook Dylan Larkin gets booed on his first shift but earns applause by the end with a goal, an assist and some sticking up for his teammates. Could a soft October schedule have Detroit overly optimistic about keeping him, or would Larkin ever consider changing his mind? (23:15) - Senators Game Recap Alex DeBrincat scores twice, including the empty-netter, and Lucas Raymond racks up three assists. Carter Mazur and William Wallinder each pick up their first career NHL point. Justin Faulk hits 500 career points including an amazing individual effort. (39:30) - Edvinsson Contract Talks The Edvinsson talks are stuck on AAV, with one reported Red Wings offer at six years and about $8.5 million. Detroit is fielding calls on a trade return, but we still say "pay the tax" and get him signed. (46:45) - Kasper Injury & Scouting Reshuffle Marco Kasper and Mason Appleton land on IR, both listed week to week. Shawn Horcoff's changes so far: Kris Draper moves over to lead Pro Scouting, Jesse Wallin leads Amateur Scouting, and Mark Leach returns to the amateur scouting staff. (52:40) - Panthers Woes & Ovechkin Farewell Florida loses Aleksander Barkov for roughly eight weeks, and Brad Marchand hurts his knee. Alex Ovechkin makes his final season official, and Calgary's Connor Zary clears waivers. (57:45) - Overtime Mailbag Patron questions on Viktor Arvidsson's two-way game and Larkin calling himself a "hockey player" in his post-game interview. Plus, lower-tier prospects who could surprise and whether a reconciliation is still possible. --- WWP Night at the LCA dates announced!

EDVINSSON "PREFERS A TRADE" and LCA Boos Larkin, Ilitch - Oct. 4th, 2026
2026/10/05
Simon Edvinsson reportedly "prefers a trade", & this Detroit Red Wings podcast is fuming over the botched Red Wings contract talks behind it. Plus, Red Wings vs Rangers & Jets recaps, from Dylan Larkin & ownership's opening-night boos to Sunday's 3-2 loss. (00:00) - Intro Two games into the season and the off-ice circus has already made them feel meaningless. (03:05) - Simon Edvinsson Trade Report Elliotte Friedman reported Saturday night that Simon Edvinsson would prefer be traded, frustrated with how Detroit has handled negotiations. Why a 15-month contract standoff lands on Chris Ilitch and ownership, especially after Edvinsson voluntarily reported to camp. (24:15) - Contract Numbers & Cap Space Why Detroit has to eat the "you suck tax" and pay up even if the AAV creeps toward $12M (well over Moritz Seider's), with worlds of cap space over the next three seasons. Plus, what an Edvinsson trade could bring back & whether Horcoff could win that deal. (39:25) - Fans Boo Dylan Larkin Standing with the healthy scratches, Dylan Larkin got what might be the loudest boo in Little Caesars Arena history before the "sell the team" chants kicked in. Also, is his trade request the same as Edvinsson's situation? (49:05) - Rangers Home Opener Shutout Marco Kasper fought Sean Durzi, and the defense hasn't allowed a five-on-five goal through two games, but the Red Wings are 0-2. Dylan Garand earned his first career shutout as the top line with Andrew Copp at center barely registered. (56:35) - Jets Loss & Finnie Centering Down 3-0 on three power-play goals, Detroit answered with Viktor Arvidsson's first goal of the season, follow by Emmitt Finnie centering a reshuffled line with MBN & DeBrincat. Todd McLellan called it Michael Brandsegg-Nygard's best game as a Red Wing. (01:04:35) - NHL News - Bettman Comments & Barkov Injury Gary Bettman says no-trade and no-move clauses weren't meant for situations like this and the NHL will take a look. Also, Barkov on LTIR for at least 10 games, which revives talk of Florida as a Larkin trade partner. (01:09:50) - Overtime Mailbag Your questions on Lucas Raymond's quiet start, Patrik Laine rumors and whether big minutes help or hurt the young guys' trade value. Plus why an offer sheet longer than five years may be unlikely. --- WWP Night at the LCA dates announced!

EDVINSSON LEAVES TOWN AND DETROIT RED WINGS SEASON PREVIEW ft. Max Bultman - Sept. 30th, 2026
2026/10/01
Red Wings defenseman Simon Edvinsson is skating in Sweden, still unsigned, two days before the home opener. Max Bultman of The Athletic Detroit joins this Detroit Red Wings podcast for a season preview covering the Detroit Red Wings lineup, Dylan Larkin's trade request, & more. (00:00) - Intro (04:25) - Edvinsson Goes to Sweden Simon Edvinsson is skating with Frolunda of the SHL, and the panel traces a summer of indecision from Steve Yzerman's July 15 removal as GM to Shawn Horcoff getting the interim GM job days before camp. Plus, how a layup deal became a contract standoff that complicates Alex DeBrincat's future, and the Elliotte Friedman report that Zach Werenski put Detroit on his no-fly list, & more. (31:40) - Red Wings 23-Man Roster Review of the roster announced Monday: William Wallinder looks like the odd man out once bodies return with Andreas Englund claimed off waivers. Todd McLellan calls Dylan Larkin day-to-day, will he play? Plus, what to make of Mazur, Anton Johansson, and others. (40:20) - Forward Group Preview With Andrew Copp potentially opening as the first-line center, so the panel sees a top-heavy group that may finish near the bottom of the NHL in scoring. Max predicts a Larkin trade by December 1, and Marco Kasper has to climb back up the lineup after ending exhibition play in the bottom six. (1:03:25) - Defense Preview & Faulk Trade Talk Anton Johansson's five exhibition assists and Axel Sandin-Pellikka's best preseason in a Red Wings jersey make the case for playing both every night. Justin Faulk, with a 15-team no-trade list, could be moved as early as November, and the panel weighs Larkin deals with Minnesota or a three-way with Montreal and Washington. (1:20:05) - Gibson and Tarasov in Net Starting goalie John Gibson and backup Daniil Tarasov are both in contract years; Max Bultman wants Michal Postava, now with the Grand Rapids Griffins, to get NHL games down the stretch if Detroit is out of contention. (1:22:40) - Season Point Predictions All four panelists have the Red Wings missing the playoffs, with point totals between 79 and 82. The crew also asks what really separates Detroit without Larkin from teams like the Seattle Kraken. (1:26:40) - Overtime Edvinsson can still sign an offer sheet, and the risk only grows once the season starts. Patrons also ask about hands-on owners, why Team USA players pass on Canadian markets, Lucas Raymond's ceiling and the league-wide shortage of centers. --- WWP Night at the LCA dates announced!

2026/09/28

Plus, a Hockeytown preseason recap and a full Eastern Conference (Atlantic & Metropolitan Divisions) preview. (00:00) - Intro Anton Johansson pranks the Winged Wheel Podcast! (05:50) - Preseason Wrap-Up Alex DeBrincat drops the gloves and then buries the overtime winner in a 3-2 win over the Sabres, while the finale against Columbus was forgettable hockey. Nate Danielson looked like a steady NHLer without the offensive bite, Marco Kasper got bumped to the fourth line in the finale and still put up two points, and nobody up front forced a tough roster decision. (14:50) - ASP & Anton Johansson Shine Axel Sandin-Pellikka walked the blue line with confidence and was a weapon on the flank with the man advantage, while Anton Johansson kept getting pucks through to the net and ran the point on a few power plays (despite their defensive warts). Also, why William Wallinder may end up in Grand Rapids or elsewhere. (21:15) - Andreas Englund Waiver Claim Detroit claims Andreas Englund off waivers from Calgary, a big depth defenseman that Todd McLellan praised for fitting the room. Where does he fit in with Jacob Bernard-Docker day-to-day and the young defensive core competing for spots whil Edvinsson remains unsigned? (26:30) - Edvinsson Bridge Deal Reports Simon Edvinsson remains unsigned, and reports suggest Detroit preferring a bridge contract. How big of a disaster would this be for the Red Wings, how much have they cost themselves by waiting this long, and who's to blame for another own-goal? (45:25) - Larkin Trade List Expands Elliotte Friedman reports Dylan Larkin's list has grown from three or four teams to about eight, none of them in Canada - and Washington is the only one that may make sense. Would a Protas, Cole Hutson, or Leonard be available? How does this affect the timeline of a Dylan Larkin trade? (1:04:05) - Eastern Conference Preview Full previews for the Metropolitan Division and Atlantic Division: standings predictions, offseason changes, & more. (1:43:15) - Overtime Patron questions on whether Edvinsson's agent should be shopping an offer sheet, one-to-ten grades for the offense, defense and goaltending so far, and Emmitt Finnie's switch-handed faceoff win. --- WWP Night at the LCA dates announced!

(05:15) - Ownership vs. the Futures Trade The report that Chris Ilitch didn't like Steve Yzerman's assessment of a Larkin return, why a win-now deal doesn't exist, and how a futures package could still be flipped for help sooner than you'd think.

2026/09/17
Horcoff takes over - kind of! This Detroit Red Wings podcast reacts to Shawn Horcoff officially being named interim GM, plus a Red Wings injury update on Dylan Larkin on the eve of training camp.

(00:00) - Intro The Horcoff era begins as we return to 2 episodes per week! (04:45) - Horcoff Named Interim GM How a two-month search with an outside firm ended with the guy already in the building, and why the process was fumbled even if the result works out.

Larkin Stripped of C - Red Wings Rudderless Without GM - Sept. 13th, 2026
2026/09/14
This Detroit Red Wings podcast tackles the GM search dragging into training camp & Dylan Larkin stripped of the captaincy amidst his trade request. Hockeytown news & analysis covers Simon Edvinsson's contract limbo, prospect tournament standouts, & a franchise running out of runway to get this right. (00:00) - Intro Seven days later, still no GM - and Ryan now owes a random listener $100. (05:35) - GM Search Update Jeff Greenberg pulls out of the running, and reporting suggests the Red Wings asked for permission to interview candidates they never actually talked to. Why this process has become a mess with training camp a blink away. (27:50) - Larkin Captaincy News Dylan Larkin stripped of the C as he and the team release statements: he'll report to camp, and it seems like the trade request stands. What the boos at Little Caesars Arena will mean for him and his teammates. (42:00) - Prospect Tournament Takeaways Carter Bear looked like the best player on the ice against Dallas. Meanwhile, Nate Danielson's quiet game only raises the pressure heading into camp. (47:45) - Edvinsson and DeBrincat Simon Edvinsson is paying for his own increased insurance just to play at camp without a contract. Alex DeBrincat says he wants to stay - why signing both is the easiest win this organization has left. (50:55) - Kreider to Montreal Chris Kreider's contract termination lands him with the Canadiens, of all teams. (54:50) - Overtime Your questions: playoffs or a top-five pick, whether the trade list ever expands, and giving Sean Horcoff the interim keys. --- WWP Night at the LCA dates announced!

2026/09/07
This Detroit Red Wings podcast is back as the GM & President of Hockey Operations search is still not done, but a hire could come any day. Hockeytown news & analysis covers Simon Edvinsson's contract situation vs. Zeev Buium ahead of the Sept. 15 deadline, plus a Larkin trade and more that a new GM would have to handle in short order. (00:00) - Intro and End of the WWP Offseason? We call our shot on when the new GM gets announced. (06:05) - GM Search Update Where the search stands, why external candidates seem to be the focus after moving on from Steve Yzerman, and why the timing of all this has been brutal for the front office reset. (22:50) - Roster Decisions Looming Whoever gets hired walks into a pile of lineup & personnel calls with almost no runway before camp opens. (25:25) - Zeev Buium's Contract & What It Means for Edvinsson An eight-year mega deal out west props up Simon Edvinsson's contract floor - we break down where his number likely lands and whether Detroit lost its leverage. (39:45) - Max Plante Named Captain & Tolvanen Signs Max Plante gets the C at Minnesota-Duluth, and we lament a cheap depth signing the Wings missed out on with nobody in the chair to make the call. (43:55) - NHL 27 Player Models The player likenesses are, once again, a crime scene. John Gibson's family wouldn't recognize him. (46:55) - Overtime Your questions on the GM search silver linings, offer sheet hypotheticals, and whether this team can go on a dumb early-season run. --- WWP Night at the LCA dates announced!

(00:00) - Intro & Episode Preview (05:40) - Trey Augustine Interview The goalie prospect on signing his entry-level contract, his thoughts on the Sebastian Cossa trade, his Michigan State years, back-to-back World Juniors golds, his ATO with the Grand Rapids Griffins, growing up watching Pavel Datsyuk at the Joe, and why he's going into camp on a mission. (35:30) - Red Wings Notes GM Search Update Jeff Kealty, Brett Peterson, and Scott White among the reported external interviews: what each candidate brings and why the lack of retreads is encouraging.

(51:30) - Makar's Record Contract, Quinn Hughes' Contract & Hellebuyck Trade Request The richest deal in NHL history at $20.4 million AAV and what a blank-check superstar market means going forward. Minnesota's cap crunch just got scarier, and Connor Hellebuyck goes public in Winnipeg, plus how both situations ripple back to Detroit's Dylan Larkin trade rumors. (1:04:55) - Overtime: Patron Questions When to hit the panic button on the Edvinsson contract, deadline returns for expiring deals, and which Canadian city would get the next expansion team (or rather why almost none will anytime soon). --- WWP Night at the LCA dates announced!

2026/08/24
This (now all-dad) Detroit Red Wings podcast clears the air on the GM search as interviews are officially underway in Detroit. Hockeytown news & analysis digs into Red Wings franchise defenseman Moritz Seider taking center stage, jersey rumors, & more on Larkin.

(07:05) - GM Search Update Conflicting reports floated around this week about the Detroit Red Wings' search for Steve Yzerman's replacement. What we report: the interview process has started, internal and external candidates are in the mix, and the lean appears to be external.

Moritz Seider handles the European media tour like a pro - captaincy soft launch?
