2023 NHL DRAFT RANKINGS & VEGAS: CUP CHAMPS – Winged Wheel Podcast – June 14th, 2023



The NHL season is over, the Vegas Golden Knights have won the Stanley Cup, and it’s time to turn the 2023 NHL Entry Draft coverage up to 11.

Tune in as we start with our respective top 20 rankings for the 2023 NHL Draft, including notes on which players are prototypical “Steve Yzerman” or Detroit Red Wings picks. Who will follow in the footsteps of Larkin, Seider, & Raymond in Hockeytown (4:55)? See our full rankings below.

Next, our analysis of the Vegas Golden Knights taking down the Florida Panthers in the Stanley Cup Final, including Marchessault over Eichel for the Conn Smythe, Mark Stone, Aidan Hill, and other Vegas performances, what the rest of the league can or should learn, how much the expansion draft helped, & more (50:05).

Also, the Detroit Red Wings named Dan Watson as head coach of the Grand Rapids Griffins after several strong years with the Toledo Walleye in the ECHL. How will this impact Sebastian Cossa, Marco Kasper, or other Red Wings prospects (1:04:00)?

Finally, news as the Ottawa Senators were finally sold to Michael Andlauer (1:06:40) & more before we take your question during our Overtime segment (1:12:25) – enjoy!
