Red Wings Superstars, Danielson Profile, and Playoff Failures - May 15, 2023

As Steve Yzerman and the Detroit Red Wings look ahead to building a Stanley Cup competitive team, the question must be asked: how can Hockeytown win without bonafide superstars?

Tune in as we discuss Detroit's team makeup, who of Dylan Larkin, Moritz Seider, Lucas Raymond, Sebastian Cossa, Simon Edvinsson, Marco Kasper, and others would even be considered superstars, how Yzerman has to move forward in building the team with the likes of Walman and other solid players, emulating Carolina or Seattle, how this affects Draper & the NHL Draft (is Sandin Pellikka an option over Leonard, Dvorsky, Perreault, Oliver Moore, or others?), & more (3:20).

Next, our 2023 NHL Entry Draft Prospect Profile on a two-way center that may be of interest to the Red Wings: Nate Danielson (26:25).

Finally, a look at the NHL playoffs, including the Florida Panthers improving Detroit's second 1st round pick, Leafs losing again, what's next for Dubas, Marner, Matthews, Nylander, & Tavares, McDavid & Draisaitl out in Edmonton, the Pietrangelo suspension, & lots more (37:15). Also, a quick update on Sebastian Cossa & the Toledo Walleye (1:04:40) before we take your questions during Overtime (1:06:20) - enjoy!
