Ted Kulfan takes a look at the Detroit Red Wings' season-ending news conference with general manager Steve Yzerman and coach Todd McLellan.

The Detroit Red Wings offseason changes have already begun, with more potentially on the way. Tune in as we're joined by Max Bultman of The Athletic Detroit (and Winged Wheel Podcast contributor) on this episode, opening by discussing the report that Todd McLellan, Steve Yzerman, and the Red Wings have moved on from goaltending coach Alex Westlund, and how this relates to Hockeytown's issues in net over the years: can new coaching help, or is the rotating group of Cam Talbot, Petr Mrazek, Alex Lyon, and others to blame? How does this affect Sebastian Cossa coming up (with Trey Augustine a ways away) (3:40)? Next, Max offers his thoughts on Steve Yzerman's biggest holes and offseason tasks to help the Red Wings roster: what support does Detroit need for Dylan Larkin, Patrick Kane, Lucas Raymond, Alex DeBrincat, and Marco Kasper at forward - like Mitch Marner or Nikolaj Ehlers? Do they need to prioritize a defenseman to help Moritz Seider and Simon Edvinsson - like Gavrikov? Can Nate Danielson, Carter Mazur, Axel Sandin Pellikka, Michael Brandsegg-Nygard, or others be the answer (9:35)? After that, a comprehensive NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs update, including Tom Wilson and Josh Anderson in a lively bench brawl between Washington and Montreal, the Leafs dominating Tkachuk's Senators, the Lightning and Panthers trading majors (and Cooper and Maurice exchanging banter) in the Battle of Florida, Connor Hellebuyck collapsing for the Winnipeg Jets, TNT not calling games in person, & plenty more (29:25).

On this edition of the Detroit Red Wings/Detroit News podcast, Ted Kulfan talks about the team's four-game sweep on the western road trip and Sportsnet draft analyst Jason Bukala is the interview guest. Before Christmas, the odds of the Red Wings making the playoffs were less than one percent under coach Derek Lalonde. After Christmas, under new coaches Todd McLellan and Trent Yawney, Detroit has gone 15-4-1 and the odds, according to moneypuck.com/predictions, are 50-50 of ending the franchise's eight-year playoff drought. "As we sit here doing this podcast, I would be a little surprised at this point if they didn't make the playoffs," Kulfan said. "This has been about as good as they've played in years, quite honestly. The one thing which really stood out during this four-game road trip, you kind of expected them to win during points in these games."

Lucas Raymond is elite, the youth movement has arrived in Marco Kasper, Albert Johansson, and Elmer Soderblom, and Hockeytown is buzzing.

We then take a look at Detroit's schedule ahead, their wild card NHL playoff chances, and some thrilling stats for Steve Yzerman's squad since changing from Derek Lalonde to Todd McLellan (21:20). Next, we have the age-old "is Lucas Raymond a superstar?" discussion, how he stacks up against the likes of Mitch Marner, Tim Stutzle, etc. (27:40), as well as the youth movement in Marco Kasper, Elmer Soderblom, and Albert Johansson, and what this means for their ceilings and future Red Wings (35:10). After that, NHL news including Lilleberg's suspension for his hit on Compher (and nothing for Kucherov's trip on Rasmussen), the Vancouver Canucks, Rutherford's comments on Petterson, J.T. Miller, Quinn Hughes, and Brock Boeser, the Utah NOT Yetis (Mammoth? Hockey Club?) (41:10) before hearing from Red Wings Director of Player Personnel Jiri Fischer on an important charity hockey game and the impact his work is making (and how it relates to his story) (58:00).

Next, Marco Kasper & Cam Talbot leading Detroit to a 2-0 win over Andrei Vasilevskiy & the Tampa Bay Lightning (even without Patrick Kane), including Kasper's redirect, Albert Johansson's fantastic play, Lilleberg's hit to J.T. Compher's head, a chippy game with Cirelli, Hedman & Co., and Nikita Kucherov's dirty trip on Michael Rasmussen's empty net goal (16:05).

Miller fit into this, & more (51:40) before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment (1:17:25) - enjoy!

DEREK LALONDE HAS BEEN FIRED BY THE DETROIT RED WINGS. So much for the holiday break - tune into this EMERGENCY EPISODE of the Winged Wheel Podcast as we discuss Derek Lalonde and Bob Boughner being relieved of their duties by Steve Yzerman in Hockeytown, and Todd McLellan and Trent Yawney being hired to replace them. We open by discussing Newsy's firing, how the team performed under him, how Dylan Larkin's comments & poor performances by the team (outside of the like of Lucas Raymond, Moritz Seider, Simon Edvinsson, & Alex DeBrincat) affected his coaching tenure, if he deserved to be fired, & how much of the season was his fault (2:50).  Next, a look at Todd McLellan as a coach, his history with McDavid's Oilers and Kopitar's Kings, what type of system he plays, how much he can get out of the likes of Patrick Kane, J.T. Compher, Andrew Copp, Vladimir Tarasenko, Marco Kasper, Jonatan Berggren, & others, whether Yzerman wanted Jim Montgomery, Gerrard Gallant, or Joel Quenneville, & what can realistically be expected of this season (still tanking for Hagens, Misa, Martone, Schaefer, etc.?)
