There's a lot for Steve Yzerman to take care of in Hockeytown this offseason, and the top of the list (even higher than Patrick Kane) belongs to Lucas Raymond & Moritz Seider's upcoming contracts.

Tune in as we discuss what those deals may look like as they come off their ELCs, whether anything other than an 8 year term is advisable, how Dylan Larkin's cap hit may factor in, why Compher, Copp, Perron, & other contracts matter, & more (3:35). We also provide some Detroit Red Wings updates as the likes of Larkin, Lyon, Petry, Raymond, Derek Lalonde, and Alex Westlund are off to the World Championship, and Andrew Gibson of the Soo Greyhounds signed his ELC and will join the Grand Rapids Griffins (27:30).

Next, we give an update on the start of the Grand Rapids playoff run as Jonatan Berggren sealed the Game 1 win, backstopped by Sebastian Cossa and coached by Dan Watson (34:35) before giving an NHL Draft Lottery update (including Detroit's chances of winning and who will end up with Macklin Celebrini) (35:50).

After that, our 2024 NHL Draft Prospect Profile series continues with Zeev Buium (Shai's brother) (41:20).

We then take a look at the Stanley Cup Playoffs (Marner, Nylander, & the Leafs are at it again) (48:25), pay our respects to the great Bob Cole (1:00:25), & lots more before we take your questions and comments during our Overtime segment (1:03:35) - enjoy!
