The 2024 NHL Draft in Las Vegas’ Sphere is over, and Steve Yzerman, Kris Draper, Nicklas Lidstrom & Co. have selected the newest crop of Hockeytown prospects for the Detroit Red Wings.
Tune in as we start by discussing the craziness at the beginning of the 1st round, with Celebrini and Levshunov going as expected, Sennecke going way higher than thought, Demidov to the Canadiens, Utah snatching up Tij Iginla, Zeev Buium falling to Minnesota, & more (4:40).
Next, a full assessment of the Detroit Red Wings selecting Michael Brandsegg-Nygard 15th overall: prospect analysis, how he stacked up to others like Hage, Eiserman, Connelly, etc., where he fits in the Red Wings core next to Raymond, Larkin, Seider, & Co., how he measures against previous picks like Danielson & Kasper, strengths & weaknesses, ultimate upside, & LOTS more. Also, a review of the rest of the 1st round (27:00).
After that, we assess all the rest of the Detroit Red Wings’ picks: Max Plante (46:50), Ondrej Becher (53:20), Landon Miller (56:10), John Whipple (57:50), Charlie Forslund (59:55), Austin Baker (1:02:50), & Fisher Scott (1:03:45), then give our overall assessments of the draft class, grades, Yzerman’s performance & philosophies, & more (1:05:30).
We then turn to notable draft performances and NHL moves (like Utah trading for Sergachev & Marino) (1:10:45), before discussing the Jacob Trouba, Steven Stamkos, & Patrick Kane rumors as they relate to Detroit (1:15:50) before we take your questions and comments during our Overtime segment (1:36:10) – enjoy!

Nygard, bigger version of Stankoven? Trouba better be at 40% retained or take Holl, I still think Copp to CGY for picks, that is, if we are wanting to 'accelerate' (which I don't want yet) Better be getting Stamkos, but I bet he goes to Dallas.
Draft was underwhelming
Trouba is washed, Rangers would have to give up an asset to dump his contract to a team that wasn’t as desperate as Detroit. D was better with Walman than they’d be with Trouba.
Connelly to Golden Knights, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.
It's been reported or rumored that Kaapo Kakko could be part of the return included with Jacub Trouba with a cap hit at 5.5 million to Detroit. I'm wondering if Justin Holl and/or Jonatan Berggren could be part of the package going back.
Cool, more 30+ year old retreads.
I really love Steve, but wtf is this team? We're gonna MISS Larkins prime. He's the real victim here bc this team WILL NOT win during his tenure at this rate… and that's tragic
The sharks might claim Jacob off waivers for free if waived but Stevie said it was hard to move money but sharks are claiming worst contracts.
Andrew Copp and Berggren for Jacob and kakko this deal helps NYR to save around 5 million and we get rid of 3 year of Andrew contract and with the Walman trade the money is about even and we flipped shot handiness.
The Flyers GM said Shane was to short and already have to many short Defensemen.
Raymond having MBN on his opposite wing gives me good feels. Raymond, Danielson and MBN line in the future? That would not be a fun line to go up against
Guys did we buy steve at the top 😂
