GRIFFINS STANDOUTS, DRAFT LOTTERY PAIN, & PWHL DETROIT! – Winged Wheel Podcast – May 7th, 2026

Winged Wheel Podcast
Hockeytown is growing beyond the Detroit Red Wings! This podcast covers the Griffins’ Calder Cup push, PWHL Detroit’s arrival at Little Caesars Arena, the Toronto Maple Leafs winning the draft lottery, and a deep look at Red Wings prospects pushing for roster spots.

(0:00) Intro – PWHL Detroit Coming to LCA
Hockeytown is officially getting a Professional Women’s Hockey League team this upcoming season!

(5:00) Griffins Take 2-1 Series Lead – Johansson, MBN, and Mazur Standouts
Carter Mazur’s two goals lead Dan Watson’s group past Manitoba, with Michael Postava strong in net and the Griffins holding their opponent to one of the lowest shot totals in a Calder Cup playoff game since 2009. Anton Johansson looks every bit the prospect Detroit drafted, while Michael Brandsegg-Nygard’s physical, wrecking-ball game cements him as a near-lock for next year’s Red Wings lineup. Also, why this summer is everything for Carter Mazur’s body and his case to crack Todd McLellan’s roster.

(18:40) Griffins Poised for Red Wings Roster
A breakdown of how Amadeus Lombardi, John Leonard, Dominik Shine, Axel Sandin-Pellikka, and others fit into a wide-open competition for spots Todd McLellan needs filled.

(33:20) Leafs Win Draft Lottery
Toronto lands the first overall pick and the rights to Gavin McKenna or Ivar Stenberg – the worst possible outcome for Moritz Seider, Lucas Raymond, and the Atlantic Division. The Faulk trade doesn’t get worse for Steve Yzerman with the unprotected 1st round pick staying at 15th overall.

(41:25) Atlantic Division Outlook
Why Yzerman has to choose between hyper-aggression and patience this offseason, with no realistic middle ground due to the Dylan Larkin/Alex DeBrincat window.

(53:15) PWHL Detroit Details
Jersey, name, draft hosting, and double-header weekends at LCA.

(1:00:35) Overtime – Patreon Questions
Most-hated rivals, Elias Pettersson trade math, and grading prospects.
