Dylan Larkin might show up to training camp and play this season. What?!
Stoney needs to watch every Detroit sports game, no matter how bad the team is. Is this crazy? Valenti sure thinks so.

This Detroit Red Wings podcast (without Ryan, forgive the different feel!) asks the question nobody wants to answer: what does this season actually look like if Dylan Larkin stays in Detroit? Hockeytown news & analysis covers the GM search, ownership's autonomy pitch, the Steven Stamkos report, & the barren wasteland of Red Wings free agency options still available. (00:00) - Intro Ryan-less episode means Brad and Evan hold down the fort. Forgive any changes in sound quality or editing in the meantime! (03:40) - The Larkin Reconciliation Scenario If Dylan Larkin rescinds his trade request, how loud do the boos get on opening night? We walk through the good outcomes, the ugly ones, and why the Steve Yzerman connection makes forgiveness harder for a lot of fans. (21:35) - How Long Could This Drag On? If no deal materializes by November, does the trade list finally expand? The pressure of playing every home game in front of a hostile crowd changes things fast. (27:45) - GM Search & Ownership Autonomy Why is ownership hammering the "full autonomy" narrative to candidates? We break down what that pitch might be telling us, and why the only open GM job in hockey shouldn't need this much selling. (35:10) - The Stamkos Report Did ownership really say no to signing Steven Stamkos in the summer of 2024? If true, it's a bigger red flag than the money. (42:05) - Remaining Free Agents Sifting through the ruins of the market. Eeli Tolvanen still being unsigned being a head-scratcher and more. (49:30) - Overtime 36-team realignment scenarios, whether preseason games are worth attending, which teams finish below Detroit, and a CBA idea for penalizing trade requests. --- WWP Night at the LCA dates announced!

The Freep's Carlos Monarrez detailed what went wrong in Steve Yzerman's tenure as the Red Wings GM
The guys thought the Red Wings were dysfunctional before today. Then they read the latest report from the Detroit Free Press, which greatly amplified their sentiments towards the team and Steve Yzerman's tenure as GM. Mike and Rico reacted to this throughout the hour before mixing in some football in the last segment.
This report from the Detroit Free Press on Yzerman's tenure and the Red Wings' (lack of) progress on hiring a new GM...yikes. The guys are dumbfounded.
Mike and Rico continue to be confounded by the incompetence behind the scenes with the Red Wings.
Valenti and Rico began today's show by immediately diving into the bombshell report from the Detroit Free Press detailing gross mismanagement of the Red Wings during Steve Yzerman's tenure. They ripped Yzerman and owner Chris Ilitch apart for a good portion of the show. They also took some time to talk about their interest levels in the preseason, and specifically the Lions preseason.
In what shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. Valenti and Rico hear from a few of the people who are equally dumbfounded about the Detroit Free Press' report about Yzerman/Ilitch/the Red Wings.
The guys take a different angle on the Red Wings talk to begin the final hour.
Mike and Rico read a couple more texts and take one more call about the Detroit Free Press's article about the Red Wings today.
Mike and Rico spent the final hour with some more thoughts on the Detroit Free Press's scathing article about the supposed incompetence within the Red Wings organization under Steve Yzerman's "leadership".

Valenti and Rico spent the majority of today's show with their criticisms toward Michigan QB Bryce Underwood for calling The Game "just another game". They expanded on this and why it's part of a larger issue with NIL, briefly pausing to talk Red Wings and the NFL throughout the show.
Mike and Rico were joined by David to break down the latest NFL news to begin the hour. Then, they took a segment or two to rip the Red Wings for their radio silence when it comes to their search to find another GM.

The guys read your texts and take your calls in response to their topic about the Detroit sports GM they'd like to see speak to the media the most.

They also reacted to the news of the opening date of the immersive sports viewing venue Cosm Detroit in September.
The guys debate which Detroit sports GM they'd like to hear speak the most.
Ross Schneiderman spent his career as a reporter and editor. Newsweek, The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, ESPN. He covered mixed martial arts, then ran a foreign desk working alongside Afghan and Pakistani correspondents. In 2016 he wrote a Newsweek cover story about Mohammad Gulab, the Afghan villager who sheltered Marcus Luttrell. He never went to Afghanistan. He never covered a war. He spent six years piecing this one together anyway. For twenty years, Operation Red Wings has been told one way. Lone Survivor turned it into a legend. He FOIA'd the documents. He read the MERC chat, the debriefs, the after-action reports. He interviewed SEALs, Green Berets, and Afghan sources who were there. What he found doesn't match the movie. We go through it in order. The comms that were supposedly never made, and the records that say otherwise. The vote that never happened. The phone call, and who really made it. The stinger missile that wasn't. And why a story meant to honor four men became a recruiting tool built on things that weren't true. This isn't about tearing anyone down. Many men died doing the best they could in a terrible spot and situation. This is about what happens when an institution picks the myth over the truth.
