(0:00) Intro
Jim Rutherford’s wild presser throwing Patrik Allvin under the bus and why he should hold a press conference every morning.

Setting the table for the annual grading episode – forwards, defense, goalies, coaching, and special teams. Alex DeBrincat’s 41 goal season to lead the Red Wings forwards. Plus, the Lucas Raymond shoulder injury that quietly defined his 76-point season.

Larkin’s 34 goal campaign, the non-contact knee injury after Olympic gold, and the five-on-five drought that hurt Detroit most.
(26:20) Kane, Copp, and Finnie
Patrick Kane defeating Father Time next to DeBrincat. Andrew Copp’s finishing issues as the emergency 2C, and Emmitt Finnie earning a full 82 as a seventh-round rookie.

Marco Kasper’s “lost golf swing”, what it means for the second-line center hole, and whether the offensive ceiling is a real concern.

The “jersey” problem – who should be back, who shouldn’t, & why J.T. Compher’s contract is the most frustrating watch on the roster.
(1:10:05) Defense Breakdown
Moritz Seider’s Norris-worthy season & Simon Edvinsson’s RFA extension looming. Axel Sandin Pellikka’s rookie year, how the Justin Faulk trade panned out on ice. Plus, the Hamonic/Holl/Gustafsson mess.

John Gibson’s nuclear December, Cam Talbot’s rough year, what Sebastian Cossa’s runway is like, and a D for Disappointment across the board.

Draft lottery odds on the St. Louis pick, John Leonard’s extension, and takeaways from player exit interviews before Steve Yzerman speaks.
