McLellan says the young players outworked the vets and it "wasn't even close" - a quote machine planting seeds for a younger lineup.
(05:15) - Ownership vs. the Futures Trade
The report that Chris Ilitch didn't like Steve Yzerman's assessment of a Larkin return, why a win-now deal doesn't exist, and how a futures package could still be flipped for help sooner than you'd think.

No Edvinsson extension yet with preseason days away - what the holdup means and why missing reps matters in a shortened camp.
(51:20) - Projected Red Wings Lines & the Kids
Camp lines take shape with Andrew Copp centering the top unit, plus which young forwards are penciled in and who has to play their way onto the roster. Is MBN a lock? Can Carter Bear make a splash? Is Nate Danielson in the driver's seat? Also, NHL news including Connor Hellebuyck's suspension.

Horcoff takes over - kind of! This Detroit Red Wings podcast reacts to Shawn Horcoff officially being named interim GM, plus a Red Wings injury update on Dylan Larkin on the eve of training camp. Hockeytown news & analysis breaks down the botched GM search, Simon Edvinsson's contract negotiations, and what a front office roster shakeup could actually look like.
(00:00) - Intro
The Horcoff era begins as we return to 2 episodes per week!
(04:45) - Horcoff Named Interim GM
How a two-month search with an outside firm ended with the guy already in the building, and why the process was fumbled even if the result works out.

Horcoff commits to reshuffling hockey operations and adding new voices: how much can realistically change this late, and what ownership's "more progressive" directive means.
(23:40) - Edvinsson & DeBrincat Contracts
Simon Edvinsson contract talks are underway with the new seven-year max in effect. Plus, why an Alex DeBrincat extension got a lot more expensive as the summer went on.

Dylan Larkin's off-ice injury keeps him off the ice to start camp - the optics, the timing, and how the trade request hangs over everything.

This Detroit Red Wings podcast tackles the GM search dragging into training camp & Dylan Larkin stripped of the captaincy amidst his trade request. Hockeytown news & analysis covers Simon Edvinsson's contract limbo, prospect tournament standouts, & a franchise running out of runway to get this right.
(00:00) - Intro
Seven days later, still no GM - and Ryan now owes a random listener $100.
(05:35) - GM Search Update
Jeff Greenberg pulls out of the running, and reporting suggests the Red Wings asked for permission to interview candidates they never actually talked to. Why this process has become a mess with training camp a blink away.
(27:50) - Larkin Captaincy News
Dylan Larkin stripped of the C as he and the team release statements: he'll report to camp, and it seems like the trade request stands. What the boos at Little Caesars Arena will mean for him and his teammates.
(42:00) - Prospect Tournament Takeaways
Carter Bear looked like the best player on the ice against Dallas. Meanwhile, Nate Danielson's quiet game only raises the pressure heading into camp.
(47:45) - Edvinsson and DeBrincat
Simon Edvinsson is paying for his own increased insurance just to play at camp without a contract. Alex DeBrincat says he wants to stay - why signing both is the easiest win this organization has left.
(50:55) - Kreider to Montreal
Chris Kreider's contract termination lands him with the Canadiens, of all teams.
(54:50) - Overtime
Your questions: playoffs or a top-five pick, whether the trade list ever expands, and giving Sean Horcoff the interim keys.

This Detroit Red Wings podcast is back as the GM & President of Hockey Operations search is still not done, but a hire could come any day. Hockeytown news & analysis covers Simon Edvinsson's contract situation vs. Zeev Buium ahead of the Sept. 15 deadline, plus a Larkin trade and more that a new GM would have to handle in short order.
(00:00) - Intro and End of the WWP Offseason?
We call our shot on when the new GM gets announced.
(06:05) - GM Search Update
Where the search stands, why external candidates seem to be the focus after moving on from Steve Yzerman, and why the timing of all this has been brutal for the front office reset.
(22:50) - Roster Decisions Looming
Whoever gets hired walks into a pile of lineup & personnel calls with almost no runway before camp opens.
(25:25) - Zeev Buium's Contract & What It Means for Edvinsson
An eight-year mega deal out west props up Simon Edvinsson's contract floor - we break down where his number likely lands and whether Detroit lost its leverage.
(39:45) - Max Plante Named Captain & Tolvanen Signs
Max Plante gets the C at Minnesota-Duluth, and we lament a cheap depth signing the Wings missed out on with nobody in the chair to make the call.
(43:55) - NHL 27 Player Models
The player likenesses are, once again, a crime scene. John Gibson's family wouldn't recognize him.
(46:55) - Overtime
Your questions on the GM search silver linings, offer sheet hypotheticals, and whether this team can go on a dumb early-season run.

This Detroit Red Wings podcast welcomes top-ranked Red Wings prospect Trey Augustine for his first-ever interview on the show ahead of training camp! Hockeytown news & analysis covers the GM search candidates, Simon Edvinsson's unsigned contract, & Cale Makar's record-setting deal in Colorado.
(00:00) - Intro & Episode Preview
(05:40) - Trey Augustine Interview
The goalie prospect on signing his entry-level contract, his thoughts on the Sebastian Cossa trade, his Michigan State years, back-to-back World Juniors golds, his ATO with the Grand Rapids Griffins, growing up watching Pavel Datsyuk at the Joe, and why he's going into camp on a mission.
(35:30) - Red Wings Notes GM Search Update
Jeff Kealty, Brett Peterson, and Scott White among the reported external interviews: what each candidate brings and why the lack of retreads is encouraging. Also notes on Eddie Genborg and the looming Mason/Lucas Raymond nightmare continuing on national broadcasts.
(51:30) - Makar's Record Contract, Quinn Hughes' Contract & Hellebuyck Trade Request
The richest deal in NHL history at $20.4 million AAV and what a blank-check superstar market means going forward. Minnesota's cap crunch just got scarier, and Connor Hellebuyck goes public in Winnipeg, plus how both situations ripple back to Detroit's Dylan Larkin trade rumors.
(1:04:55) - Overtime: Patron Questions
When to hit the panic button on the Edvinsson contract, deadline returns for expiring deals, and which Canadian city would get the next expansion team (or rather why almost none will anytime soon).
