Veleno's Contract and Detroit's Cap Situation - July 21st, 2024

It's Joever. The Detroit Red Wings and Joe Veleno have ended the salary arbitration process and settled on a new 2 year contract to keep Joey V in Hockeytown!

Tune in as we discuss the value of the deal, whether Steve Yzerman overpaid for Veleno, and how Veleno projects out in Detroit's future (3:20), before also discussing how a new buyout window may affect Ville Husso (but not Justin Holl), and what the remaining cap space means for Lucas Raymond, Moritz Seider, and Jonatan Berggren's contracts (12:05). Also, the Quinton Byfield contract and warning signs from that (as well as Dubas' Matthews and Marner deals) compared to Raymond & Seider's deals as Yzerman tries to build Detroit's long-term core to add to Dylan Larkin & Co. in creating a competitive Red Wings team again (22:15).

After that, NHL news including Kuznetsov leaving the NHL (29:00), Daniel Sprong's contract and why he wasn't a fit on Derek Lalonde's Red Wings (29:45), Major League Hockey, Kuznetsov, Krug, and a giant Al the Octopus for sale (35:30) before we take your questions and comments during our Overtime segment (43:40) - enjoy!
