(00:00) – Intro
Sentience watch in Detroit and why one Griffins prospect might be ready to wake the lineup up.
(03:55) – Prashanth Iyer on the Red Wings Season
A 10,000-foot look at what happened – overperformance through December, the March collapse, and the 5-on-5 scoring problem that buried the team.
(07:00) – Picking an Offseason Lane
The case for committing one direction: aggressive trades to build around Dylan Larkin, Lucas Raymond, and Alex DeBrincat, or hitting the reset button before Larkin turns 31.
(15:55) – Potential Trade Targets
Josh Norris, William Nylander, Mikey Anderson, Robert Thomas, and Elias Pettersson – who actually moves the needle and who carries the most risk.
(20:20) – Free Agent Options
Alex Tuch’s pointless 2nd round and the contract conversation, plus thoughts on Bobby McMann as a speed-adding fit.
(23:50) – Simon Edvinsson Contract
Bridge vs. eight-year max term, why the cap going up bakes in the hedge, and the Jaccob Slavin comparison for locking up a unicorn early.
(31:20) – Sebastian Cossa’s Future
Waiver-exempt status is gone – what that does to his trade value and whether he’s actually ready to be an NHL backup next year.
(37:15) – Griffins Stay Alive
Michael Brandsegg-Nygard’s filthy overtime winner keeps the Calder Cup hopes breathing, plus huge goals from Carter Mazur, John Leonard, and more as Postava hangs on.
(45:00) – Habs-Sabres Game 7 and Conference Finals Predictions
Alex Newhook’s overtime winner, UPL’s nerves, and why the Atlantic Division just got even harder for Detroit. Plus, Carolina vs. Montreal and Colorado vs. Vegas – rust, rest, and which underdog has the better shot.
(57:25) – Prospect Profiles: Ivar Stenberg and Thomas Vandenberg
The case for Stenberg over Gavin McKenna at first overall and why his SHL production is the real deal. Vandenberg: The Athletic mocked him to Detroit at 47 – a perfect Steve Yzerman type, which may be exactly the problem.
(1:11:35) – Overtime Mailbag
Patreon questions and comments: What if Jakub Vrana panned out, waiving roster vets, and which Red Wing gets a video-game stat boost.
