He didn't score many goals, and he was a part of the the declining years, but he played 8 seasons with the Wings, one of my favorite players from the post Cup years: Drew Miller. Not a top 5, but definitely should be an honorable mention. So incredibly hard working, defensively responsible forward playing on one of the best third lines in hockey at the time.

You two are terrific. I'll start listening.

Scotty, Brian- How do you guys feel about the possibility of Aaron Ekblad to Detroit? Maybe he can fill in the role they had for Trouba? He's still unsigned and a recent cup champion.

Berggrens problem is that he is not offensively to be a top 6 forward, and not good enough defensively to be a bottom 6 player. Verano has filed for arbitration and that would open the buyout window (Holl) and no one will trade for assets that don't have contracts. I personally think that Danielson will win a spot in training camp and center the 2nd line. Kasper is another possibility. The other problem is the number of players with movement clauses. I fully expect Stevie to move some depth players before the season starts.

Abdlakader is trash

Bravo, this episode was really enjoyable. Excellent tribute to Reed Larson, I learned a lot. Keep up the great work. Appreciate you guys.

I can see Vlad coming to the Wings getting anywhere from 70 to 80 points.. and I will take it..still another D man to eat up some time..Seider can only do so much

They're gonna miss Sprong. Tarasenko makes up for the lost production of Ghost. Gustafson makes up for the lost defense of Walman. Bonus Kane makes up the lost offense of Walman and some of Sprong. But there's still that little bit of production gone. But I think there's wo much room for improvement for Husso and the backup that there's still a good possibility they improve.

Walman was a trouble maker. Glad we got rid of him.

I love Jimmy Howard so much bro🗣️

Claude Lemieux is Seider's agent

He carried this team for a month in the spring!

Do Canadian born since we just had Canada Day! 🇨🇦

Derian Hatcher honorable mention!!!!!! Aaaahhhhhhhh!

Thank you fo realizing and acknowledging that you were 3 minutes into segment and still no discussion. And then,,,,,,,,ads/promos ?? See ya'

We have 6 goalies , when will this be addressed?

It's very clear , Yzerman is not in this. His desire is to continue the complete rebuild and Overhaul of everything, for three more seasons. Through 26-27. Flyers will follow RedWings in their approach to building Through draft capital and player development. Flyers even with Matvei Michkov, Flyers will remain in a Complete Rebuild and Overhaul of everything, through the 28-29 Season. The Self Righteous Flyers management are a bunch of Self Righteous Pharisees electing not to Sign Carter Hart. Flyers management, by nature are no better than Carter Hart.

I think Kane is showing some loyalty as the Wings gave him an opportunity that worked with the players, coach, management and trainers/medical. I also believe he likes the Alex D fit and the VT signing they played together in NY. Detroit is allowing his playing style. I believe if he went somewhere else he would produce as well.

Not sure if you compare "apples to apples" when you compare points between Reed Larson, who was a defenseman, and Larkin being a forward.

Good list! You should make an all time Redwings lineup just for fun.

Why is Brian now a former podcast producer for 97.1 the ticket? Didn’t he used to say producer for the daily J on WWJ?

He wasnt the greatest by any measure .. but i really liked Douggie Brown . He was a big factor in the 98 cup

Gentlemen.. Let me tell you about Reed Larson.. Dude could do it all.. Score, set up goals, fight.. But the most memorable Reed Larson trait was his absolute CANNON of a shot! I was at a game, I think at the Joe, against LA... Rogie Vachon in net.. Larson let's a shot go from center ice.. Vachob never moved.. Never saw it... Another quick story... Larson was given a penalty shot and he decided to wind up from the circle and let one rip.. Didn't score on that.. Met him a few times in the Olymoia room.. Super nice guy.. HUGE j hands

No Andrew Copp????

Great signings by Yzerman and good luck Fabbri!

Also, too bad that Modano suffered that horrible injury where skate blade slashed his wrist if I recall properly. If that didn’t happen, I think he could’ve played a couple of years with us.

Excellent list. I started watching the Red Wings as a kid when Reed Larson and John Ogrodnick were on the dead wings. Reed Larson was a beast. Not only great offensively, but great defensively as well. He blocked a lot of shots back in the days when guys didn’t really do that much. Brian Rafalski was another great defenseman. Kind of underappreciated nowadays. Doug Brown scored some clutch goals for us in the playoffs. In 2002, when Canada won the gold in USA won the silver, at the end of the game when everyone left the ice, Steve Yzerman, Brendan Shanahan, Chris, Chelios, and Brett Hull Stood arm and arm at Center ice to take a picture . I knew right then and there we were going to win the cup that year.

I'm so glad Brett Hull is on this list. He's my all-time favorite hockey player.

Best Red Wings were Canadian and Russian

How is he like Ghost if you have to go on and state all the ways he isn’t ghost? He’s a standard 3rd pairing guy that’s it.

Nice topic. Off the top of my head, Modano and Chelios are my top two.

On paper this team is comparable to last year's. However, there are intangibles to think about, such as the improvement of guys like Raymond and Seider, the hunger this team will have after last year's finish, and (hopefully) a shared load for the healthy goalies

What number is tarasenko gonna take his obv ones are unavailable so 🤔

Motte is a great signing. Signals a trade of Andrew Copp is on the horizon. If nobody will take that bum, we can at least move him to wing. Motte can hold it down if the kids aren't ready.

Why did he not get signed Monday is my question. No one wanted to over pay him?

Losing Ghost is going to be very noticable. I think they're hoping Gus and Edvinsson pick up the slack. I have my doubts.

LGRW!!!

In regards to the top 6, I just don't want the Wings to have Kane and Cat on the same line anymore. It worked in the past becaase both of their foot speed were plus, but now they just slow enough that they get bullied by larger defence hounds. Theyre just too small to be effective even with Larkin carrying the load in the middle.

The Wings have a bad taste in their mouth from last year. They will improve! As Yzerman has said, we want a team that wins, not just make it to the playoffs. I'm with Yzerman, I'd rather miss the playoffs, then make it, then get bounced out every 1st round. It would be the same rhetoric from the fans if the Wings were the Leafs!

you have a shitty GM...he is not going to take to a promised land. What is he waiting for???? you have picks, cap space and prospect, for fuck sakes.

I like the way the team is changing with the additions but I'm worried we might have a step back because the players need to learn how to play with their new teammates and also in a new system so it might take a little bit to play as a team and learn about the other players on your team

i would say steve improved the financials of the team while keeping the compete level the same. the team is in a good position financially to make another move via trade if the right situation becomes available. this is also the year we start to see some of the youth break the lineup. things are still moving in the right direction. stay the course!

Nice hat Brian!!

Lol Red Wings fans are so fickle...

"The 1920 season"? Brian;😅

So anybody see a coincidence with Pavel showing up?? IJS 😁

Are we getting depth? When key guys go down, do we have guys who can step in? Remember the 7 lost in a row?

So can someone help me out with something here, 🤔 so in today's new NHL power teams like the Edmonton Oilers and the Florida Panthers especially from a few seasons ago able to have as many good players as you do on their roster.. even at the Vegas Golden Knights as well.. I'm saying with like the way contract is and with the cap.. what is it because of the driveway and because they're young guys are already taking that early leap therefore they don't have to spend as much.. because about three of their players are on the rookie contracts or something like that and a lot of the other song free agents are on good deals or something?? .. like how are things like that able to afford so many good players and keep them for like a few years at a time?.. you know what i mean??... Just trying to see if that's what Stevie's trying to set us up for in a couple of seasons,.. where were able to just go on a fruit splash and get like 2-3 STUDS in one offseason and be that ELITE team..🤔 Thank you to whoever can help 🙏

Ras Copp Kasper would serve same purpose as fisher in there but more talent

They should be at least as good now but I think they have a higher ceiling possible - it really will depend heavily on whether Raymond can pick up where he left off and whether Kane or Tarasenko don't lose a step - that happens and they should be improved significantly.
