Will the Wings make a trade?

The Detroit Red Wings are surging at the right time — and the stakes are rising fast. On this episode of Red Alert, Joe Chapp and Cindy Berry break down Detroit's recent run, the growing signs of real consistency, and why this stretch before the Olympic break could define the season. We dive into the Wings' playoff odds, five-on-five concerns, and what still needs to improve despite their offensive momentum. Then the focus shifts to the trade deadline and Steve Yzerman. Is Detroit truly one move away? We discuss the difference between tinkering vs. overhauling, what type of player actually fits the Wings' long-term vision, and why rentals don't make sense for this roster. From center depth to two-way forwards, we lay out what Yzerman is likely targeting — and what he won't sacrifice. We close with a powerful reflection on Sergei Fedorov as his iconic No. 91 rises to the rafters. From his impact on championships to the cultural weight of the Winged Wheel, we discuss why honoring Fedorov now mattered — and what his legacy means for today's locker room. This is a must-listen episode for Red Wings fans tracking the playoff push, the trade deadline, and the history that still shapes Hockeytown today.

Wings fans don't have faith.

A day that this Detroit Red Wings podcast thought would never come: Sergei Fedorov's 91 jersey retirement ceremony at Little Caesars Arena.

(12:30) - Red Wings Beat Carolina Hurricanes The Hockeytown team follows up the jersey retirement with a chaotic win over the Hurricanes thanks to even more key play from James van Riesmdyk (assists from Moritz Seider and Lucas Raymond on the power play). Alex DeBrincat continues to be clutch, as does Patrick Kane's vision. John Gibson stood tall as Andrew Copp scored an electric (and controversial) overtime winner.

This Detroit Red Wings podcast recaps Monday's 4-2 win over Ottawa, a game Detroit stole despite being outplayed. Also, Detroit Red Wings news and analysis on Nate Danielson's assignment to Grand Rapids, plus early NHL trade deadline rumblings. The Red Wings escaped Ottawa with two crucial Atlantic Division points thanks to John Gibson's stellar 34-save performance and opportunistic scoring from Andrew Copp, Dylan Larkin, James van Riemsdyk, and Lucas Raymond's sick goal. While Detroit looked disjointed with their new line combinations, they capitalized when it mattered most against Ottawa's struggling goaltending. Gibson continues proving he can steal games even when the team doesn't play well in front of him, answering questions about his ability to perform under pressure. Copp's breakaway goal showcased his remarkable turnaround from early season struggles, while JVR continued to excel, his veteran presence in front of the net set up Larkin's 22nd goal of the season on a beautiful power play sequence. RED WINGS BEAT SENATORS (4:45) Detroit wins ugly but wins nonetheless, outshot 37-21 but getting stellar goaltending from John Gibson and timely scoring. LINEUP CHANGES (13:55) New line combinations looked disjointed but Todd McLellan's roster shakeup continues taking shape. DANIELSON TO GRAND RAPIDS (21:45) Nate Danielson heads back to the Griffins while John Leonard remains with the big club. TRADE RUMORS DISCUSSION (26:20) Early deadline rumblings around the league and potential fits for Steve Yzerman's roster as trade season heats up - is Rasmus Andersson a fit to help Sandin-Pellikka on the right?

In this episode, Joe Chapp and co-host Cindy Berry dive into the hottest rumor in hockey — Quinn Hughes potentially being traded to the Detroit Red Wings, and why insiders like Elliotte Friedman and Jeff Marek both believe Detroit is very much in the mix. We break down:

Detroit, and Michigan, sports are going through a tough time right now, and unfortunately the Detroit Red Wings are at the center of that. Tune in as we begin by discussing the Red Wings' 6-3 loss to Nikita Kucherov and the Tampa Bay Lightning, including strong play from Michael Rasmussen & J.T. Compher, poor play and turnovers after a Gibson save from Simon Edvinsson & Moritz Seider, Johansson and Bernard-Docker getting beat on defense, and more in a frustrating game for Todd McLellan's squad (3:40). Next, Detroit's shootout loss to Jeremy Swayman and the Boston Bruins, including Kastelic's mismatch fight where Moritz Seider got dropped, our thoughts on the response from Ben Chiarot but not too many other Red Wings, Dylan Larkin, Lucas Raymond, Patrick Kane, and others contributing offensively, & Detroit being too slow to pick things up in the loss (12:10). After that, Dylan Larkin and Todd McLellan's comments about effort, care, and overthinking the game, and how that's affecting players like Marco Kasper, Patrick Kane, Nate Danielson, Alex DeBrincat, and Emmitt Finnie (25:50). We then take a look at the NHL & Atlantic Division standings, Steve Yzerman's team's December outlook, and what can be done to maintain standing in the tight playoff race - can Cam Talbot and John Gibson start providing more support in net? (39:10) After that, an update on the Detroit Red Wings prospect pipeline, including notes on Sebastian Cossa (will Yzerman call him up at some point?), Trey Augustine, Max Plante, Carter Bear, Jesse Kiiskinen, & more Hockeytown hopefuls (53:45).  All of that & lots more before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment (56:50) - enjoy!

Tune in as we open by discussing the loss in which J.T. Compher & Emmitt Finnie (from Dylan Larkin) scored while the rest of the Detroit Red Wings didn't do much else, as the absence of Patrick Kane and Lucas Raymond being injured disrupted the forward group, John Gibson didn't stand out, the penalties and errors from the best players in Edvinsson and Seider down to the bottom of the lineup in Rasmussen and Berggren all led to a loss to Colten Ellis, a rookie goalie making his NHL debut (4:15). We then discuss Todd McLellan's difficult spot with the forwards, as two key injuries means a lack of solid lines to utilize, how the depth players aren't seizing their opportunities, DeBrincat and Brandsegg-Nygard aren't offering scoring firepower, and what Steve Yzerman can do to help fix the issue (14:25).
