Yzerman's Trade Deadline Options and Nedeljkovic Waived - Jan. 18th, 2023

The Detroit Red Wings are in a slog through the middle of their season, and Steve Yzerman has some tough decisions ahead with the NHL Trade Deadline Looming.

Tune in as we start by discussing Detroit's consecutive losses to Colorado and Arizona, including Moritz Seider's continued production, poor goaltending from Ville Husso and Magnus Hellberg, Raymond, Berggren, & Fabbri staying hot, defensive lapses from Derek Lalonde's club, & more (4:50).

Alex Nedeljkovic was waived, cleared waiver, and was assigned to Grand Rapids. Why did Yzerman waive him over Hellberg? Was it the right move? What's next for Ned - does he have a future with Detroit? How does this relate to Jakub Vrana? All of that & more (22:30).

In addition to the Jasper Weatherby/Kyle Criscuolo trade, we also start discussion on Steve Yzerman's trade deadline options, who might be available, and what he can do with his cap space. Should he consider trading Dylan Larkin if he's not signed by the deadline? Is Tyler Bertuzzi going to fetch a 1st round pick? Should they pick up another center like Bo Horvat? Is Filip Hronek on the table? LOTS of questions & a great discussion going into a complicated trade season in Hockeytown (32:45).

Finally, the Provorov situation in Philadelphia (1:01:30) & more before your Overtime questions - enjoy!
