ZETTERBERG’S HoF WAIT, DeBRINCAT, KONECNY, & YZERMAN’S DRAFT THOUGHTS – Winged Wheel Podcast Jun. 21



The NHL Draft is nearly upon us, so of course the Detroit Red Wings & rest of the league start buzzing with trade rumors, Hall of Fame controversy, & more.

Tune in as we open by discussing Steve Yzerman’s press conference, in which he discussed the possibility of trading vs. keeping pick 9, 17, 41, 42, & 43, if he’s worried about drafting Russians like Michkov, Simashev, or But, Walman, Evinsson, & Kasper being on track, building his core around Larkin, Seider, & Raymond, & more (3:35).

Next, the 2023 Hockey Hall of Fame inductees: Mike Vernon, Pierre Turgeon, Caroline Ouelette, Henrik Lundqvist, Tom Barrasso, Pierre Lacroix, & Ken Hitchcock – no Henrik Zetterberg, Alex Mogilny, Rod Brind’Amour, Chris Osgood, or others. How does Vernon boost Osgood’s case? Does Zetterberg go in with Datsyuk (16:35)?

Next, NHL trade rumors involving Hockeytown: Alex DeBrincat – is a deal possible with Zadina and a pick? Also, Yzerman “kicking tires” on Kevin Hayes & Travis Konecny – what their acquisition costs would be and whether they’d be good fits in Detroit (26:28).

After that, Danil But’s NHL Draft Prospect Profile, as we evaluate whether the big Russian winger would be a more talented Soderblom-type coming out of the draft (and how he compares to Honzek, Danielson, etc.) (44:05).

Finally, some NHL some, including Vancouver buying out Oliver Ekman-Larsson (50:50) & more before we take your questions for Overtime (56:00)!

  1. Osgood has more wins than 2 of the inductees and more Cups than all 3, absolute travesty that he’s not in

  2. Lifting the stick of Crosby on that PK miffed many in Pittsburgh, but I thought it was the play of the Stanley Cup playoffs for 2008.

  3. Osgood was robbed of a vezina in 96, flash in the pan jim carry won instead.
    That alone and he's a lock for the now HOVG.

    Love hearing the konecny interest. I threw his name out there a while back. Think he's a great fit.

    I believe yzerman gives us more info than is often acknowledged. Atleast for the die hard fans, those of us that consume red wings content/info everyday, all year round. Those of us that talk red wings/hockey all the time because we love the game aswell as the buisness side, the inner workings. We understand the poker game GM's are playing. We know yzerman isnt giving direct answers to most questions. Even if he wanted to, he cant divulge his plans for the offseason, that's collusion.
    The good beat writers get tidbits out of him with reasonable less direct questions.
    It's up to us to read between the lines.
    Ultimately anything we can speculate or ideas we have regarding player acquisition( reasonable and realistic) yzerman has thought it and kicked tires, or else he isnt doing his job.
    We're smart, we've got an idea of where the team is at and what yzerman is trying to do.

    Its exciting what will unfold in the next 7-11 days. We will have answers to quite a few questions!!
