As Steve Yzerman and the Detroit Red Wings look ahead to building a Stanley Cup competitive team, the question must be asked: how can Hockeytown win without bonafide superstars?
Tune in as we discuss Detroit’s team makeup, who of Dylan Larkin, Moritz Seider, Lucas Raymond, Sebastian Cossa, Simon Edvinsson, Marco Kasper, and others would even be considered superstars, how Yzerman has to move forward in building the team with the likes of Walman and other solid players, emulating Carolina or Seattle, how this affects Draper & the NHL Draft (is Sandin Pellikka an option over Leonard, Dvorsky, Perreault, Oliver Moore, or others?), & more (3:20).
Next, our 2023 NHL Entry Draft Prospect Profile on a two-way center that may be of interest to the Red Wings: Nate Danielson (26:25).
Finally, a look at the NHL playoffs, including the Florida Panthers improving Detroit’s second 1st round pick, Leafs losing again, what’s next for Dubas, Marner, Matthews, Nylander, & Tavares, McDavid & Draisaitl out in Edmonton, the Pietrangelo suspension, & lots more (37:15). Also, a quick update on Sebastian Cossa & the Toledo Walleye (1:04:40) before we take your questions during Overtime (1:06:20) – enjoy!

Red Wings fan from Buenos Aires here, love the pod!
Raymond 95 point season ?
3/4 teams left are no income tax states. NHL needs to have caps different based on taxes imo.
Ya I don't think we'll ever be the type of team like Pitts Tampa Colorado where the top end superstars are. I could see us becoming a better kraken, or a Carolina, Vegas…. we have to be even up and down the lineup. It probably won't be a 1 or 2 dominate lines type team. I'm probably saying the same thing u guys said here but I just think thats what we'll have to be.
Do a player profile on Mathew Wood !
Detroit has no RHC in their system. That is where the list of intangibles should start for that #9 and or #17 pick.
As for deliberating for taking a defender, the blueliners still available are at the top of their positional ranking. Plus several defenders are rare RHD types that teams covet so much.
If they feel ASP is the guy, they have to do it a pick #9, he will not be there at pick #17.
I don't think "super stars" are required necessarily, and I think the playoffs kinda show that.
I think having "stars", very good players, depth, and a very good goalie are going to be the key.
Idk.. Seider could become close.
Hopefully Carter Mazur comes in as the Biggest Prick of all..
if we can get a lineup similar to Seattle/Carolina
I guess that’s the next step with the roster..
since we don’t have superstars.
I’d be happy with a team full of 2nd liners type of talent,
screw the “super stars” Toronto core four are too soft for playoff success.
