After that, we loop in on the Steve Yzerman & Moritz Seider / Lucas Raymond contract negotiations, what the prospective term and AAV may be, how lessons from Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner, & Kyle Dubas in Toronto loom large, how these future stars affect the rest of Detroit's talent like Dylan Larkin, Alex DeBrincat, Patrick Kane, Simon Edvinsson, & more (13:10).

Next, a quick update on Jacob Trouba (28:20) before we take a look at the Detroit Red Wings prospective lineup, where the weaknesses are as Patrick Kane and Vladimir Tarasenko may be playing with J.T. Compher, Chiarot, Seider, Johansson, & others moving around on defense, all in front of a flurry of goalies in Lyon, Talbot, Husso, & others (31:15).

Patrick Kane and Vladimir Tarasenko had high praise ofr Hockeytown, and it seems like the Detroit Red Wings fanbase had a lot to do with it.

Tune in as we open by discussing Kane, Tarasenko, and Fischer's media, Kane's love for Ken Daniels and Mickey Redmond's goal calls, how Kane helped convinced Tarasenko to sign in Detroit, and how an Original 6 franchise's legacy helped Yzerman ink the stars (4:10).

Next, we discuss the overall work that Steve Yzerman did this summer, and where the Detroit Red Wings are left for the upcoming season. How much offense can Dylan Larkin, Lucas Raymond, Patrick Kane, Alex DeBrincat, Vladimir Tarasenko, Jonatan Berggre, & others produce? Can Edvinsson and Johansson provide enough support for Moritz Seider on the blue line? Can Cam Talbot, Alex Lyon, and Ville Husso be enough in net (12:50)?

After that, NHL news including the Arizona Coyotes officially being free from Muruelo's grasp (43:30), Rutger McGroarty's trade situation and a broader look at UFA, RFA, and NHL signing rights, and a New Era in NHL hats (49:25).
