Our NHL Insider Sean Shapiro joins host Gavin Spittle to discuss the latest on the Jason Robertson negotiations with the Dallas Stars. Sean says Robertson turned down a 12 million dollar offer but that doesn't mean he won't come back. He says Jim Nill has taken phone calls from other teams that want to trade for Robertson, but that doesn't mean the Stars are going to trade him. Sean believes the Stars and Robertson are going to get a deal done. Gavin and Sean discuss Ottawa pursuing Robertson and him not wanting to sign a long term deal with the Senators. Gavin brings up the scenario where if Ottawa can't land Robertson, could they pursue Mavrik Bourque? News came out that Dylan Larkin wants to go to the Dallas Stars. Sean says the Stars can use Larkin as a plan B if the Robertson negotiations go South.

For years we've asked the question: If the Detroit Red Wings were going to copy another contender, which team should it be? Back when the Hurricanes were making deep playoff runs, we argued Carolina was the blueprint. Now Rod Brind'Amour and the Hurricanes have finally won the Stanley Cup. So how close are the Red Wings to becoming Carolina? And after Vegas reached another Stanley Cup Final, how close are the Red Wings to becoming Vegas? In this episode we compare Detroit's roster, scoring depth, even-strength production, power play production, shooting percentage, and lineup construction against both Stanley Cup finalists. The results are eye-opening. We also discuss the latest Dylan Larkin trade rumors, including reports that Florida has already submitted an offer and a new breakdown from Max Bultman and Shayna Goldman on potential trade destinations. Topics include: • Why Carolina is still the better blueprint for Detroit • Why Vegas is further away than many fans realize • The importance of five-on-five scoring • Detroit's lack of middle-six production • Rod Brind'Amour's system versus roster talent • Florida, Vegas and Minnesota's pursuit of Dylan Larkin • Could Montreal become the best trade partner? • Why Utah might still be the most interesting fit • Mason McTavish and Anaheim • Carolina's potential package • What Steve Yzerman should be looking for in a trade return The Red Wings are entering a franchise-defining offseason. Before we talk about where Dylan Larkin might go, let's figure out where Detroit actually stands. JOIN THE DISCORD: https://discord.gg/rd2RUDkzuS Let's have fun! Sponsored by Draft Kings!
