FINAL 2025 NHL MOCK DRAFT & RED WINGS ROUNDTABLE ft. Max & Prashanth- Winged Wheel Podcast - June 25

With the 2025 NHL Entry Draft almost here, it’s time to do one last mock draft and host a Detroit Red Wings roundtable featuring Max Bultman of The Athletic Detroit and Prashanth Iyer!

Tune in as we start with a 5-man, 2025 NHL 1st round mock draft (picks below), including who we’d choose if we were Steve Yzerman making the selection for Hockeytown’s next top prospect: a forward to bolster the core of Dylan Larkin, Lucas Raymond, Marco Kasper, Alex DeBrincat, and Patrick Kane? Or a defenseman to support Moritz Seider, Simon Edvinsson, Axel Sandin Pellikka, and Albert Johansson?

Then, our Red Wings roundtable as we approach NHL Free Agency and a pivotal offseason for Yzerman. After that, reactions to surprise NHL trades, including Peterka to the Utah Mammoth, Evander Kane to the Canucks, and Trevor Zegras to the Flyers.

All of that & plenty more before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment – enjoy!
