ROOKIE RED WINGS' CHANCES, SWAYMAN, & CENTRAL DIVISION PREVIEW - Winged Wheel Podcast - Oct. 2, 2024

[@bsmith4674]

I'm just glad we aren't going have 34 games of Austin Czarnik to produce 1 point this year

[@jakecowger6917]

Nate Danielson needs to make this roster. We need that compete and composure.

[@Al_Andaloussi85]

He's not ready yet and Kasper is a high compete motor with skills

[@klompsauce]

LGRW 🐙🐙🐙🐙 Husso absolutely stood on his head against the Pens

[@IAK40Kevin]

Kasper between Kane and Tarasanko tonight will be interesting 😮

[@Al_Andaloussi85]

Yeah very exciting line that's for sure

[@hawkputt1]

You guys have way too much fun!!

[@billjohansson88]

Regarding Auston Watson PTO, beyond the usual to apply, like the guy, characteristics, etc. I think it's mostly about Stevie creating psychological levels (mind games) that clearly determine what individual players need to achieve on any given day, regardless of RW dress up A-Team or B-Team. >The lower a player's rank, the higher the motivation should be. Then we have those who have contracts over several years, Velano (or others specified) is thus a good tiebreaker to use when it comes to defining a squad of 23 players...

[@christincu2933]

Way to go, Detroit! Tigers beat the garbage cans, and the Wings beat the Penguins on the road!

[@afficial83]

Soderblom needs to be on the roster

[@nvsblty]

Keep Kasper up. Don't need a goon, just defend each other and play as a pack. Team toughness.

[@Septembersmith9633]

I legitimately believe aside from what SY decides and that the fanbase is blood thirsty for playoffs; I think Detroit should try and sell as hard as they can at the deadline. Unless they care way too much about GR winning the Calder this year. Move whoever you can and do the most you can to see that Berggren can improves(if he produces well) and that your top 3 prospects start seeing NHL time. I don't think Danielson needs to be up this year but Mazur for sure considering his age and experience. The others have more time. I agree we need that grit line but it's not the previous years of Larkin being the only one throwing punches.

[@RipleyAtHome]

The HC stands for House Cats and you can't convince me otherwise. They're the Utah House Cats this season.

I cheered for the leafs as a kid because my parents and family did. When I was a teenager I realized how cringe they are and I didn’t respect them as an organization. I chose the sens as my new team and cheered hard for them in the 06,07,08 playoffs. Fell off of hockey for a number of years, got back into it last year. Watched the leafs for a season cause my wife and friends like them but I still have that same feeling I had as a teenager, don’t respect the organization. I’m not sure what team to cheer for anymore, the sens seem like a logical choice but I’m just not sure. It’s between Edmonton, Ottawa, and Detroit. Edmonton is awesome and I cheered for them a lot in the playoffs since I wanted a Canadian team to win. Biggest downside though is I’m east coast and can’t stay up late enough to watch the games Sens are the team I chose back when I was a teenager and I had good memories of them. Red wings are a world class organization, and when I was even younger (before the leafs) I liked them on NHL 95 and kind of made them my team. I’m looking for some clearly biased reasons on why I should cheer for the Wings. Sell me on the Wings please and help me pick a team! Thank you

[@FriedFreezer]

Ken and Mick, Ozzy and Keating, cool ass jersey, Alex Lyon rarely blinks, our goalies have pretty helmets, Mo has mad flow, Rass has murder face, Larkin has time traveller face. the actual play really goes up and down. Good enough to give you hope, not good enough to give you confidence. so you gotta figure out things to love besides winning. 😂

[@nk7570]

Can someone explain buy outs? When is the best time to buy out guys like holl & copp?

[@Dave-fo1cb]

Buyouts can start on the later of June 15 or 48 hours after the Playoffs end, and the buyout period ends June 30 at 5pm Eastern. So not going to happen this year. There is cap ramifications to buying out players. up to 2/3 of their salaries and term go against the cap. They don't happen very often for that reason.

[@brentanderson3887]

Fire the guy into the sun Evan says! Awesome!!

[@BTScollectables]

If Andrew Copp makes this lineup & Danielson doesn’t, I’m gonna cry. 😢

[@sportsfix6975]

Austin Watson would definitely take the hitting responsibilities off of Seider.

[@kenyoung3265]

No it won't. Seider will hit just as much.

[@danwilliams6882]

Just realized Riley Greene hosting the WWP?! LOL

[@TheParadoxDestroyer]

Berggren needs to be traded for a draft pick.

[@DefectiveSquash]

Thoughts on trying to move Soderblom to D?

[@nolan13075]

Dumb

[@kenyoung3265]

Ridiculous

[@nk7570]

Bad idea-same thing happend with B. Burns and he only became an allstar.

[@nolan13075]

@@nk7570 Burns was a 1st round pick that converted to defense when he was 18 and got AS/Norris votes at 22. Soderblom was a 6th round pick that has spent all of his development years as a forward and is now 23. Bad comparison and bad idea.

[@Al_Andaloussi85]

Trash.. absolute garbage of a bad joke

[@curtgillem3680]

OMGsh!!! Rasmussen does not, can not FIGHT! We don't have a legit fighter. Shouldn't have re-signed Fischer. I would've taken Watson over Fischer.

[@krimsonshadow94]

And just think, guys like, Coop, Veleno and Fish can make this roster but not Kasper and Nate and I gotta here from opposing fans "ohhhhhh wheres the prospects", we got them, SY is just ah freaking helicopter parent and its pissing me off

[@casewojo6186]

I don’t want marvel anywhere near the wings lol. Beta energy

[@kenyoung3265]

If Edvinsson played all year in Detroit, they would have made the Playoff. If Kasper had played the 34 games that Czarnik did, they would have made the Playoff. This is on Stevie. He doesn't ice his best team. And he'll do it again.

[@Zypemaytro]

I think they didn’t play Kasper last season because he was only going to play on a 4th line and they thought it would be better for his development to play in the AHL. For Edvinsson, I agree he should have played the full season and he was ready. I think Kasper or Nate will play this year, it’s just a matter of when. I think if Johnathan B doesn’t look great they will call up 1 of them, or they will trade a goalie or waive Holl.

[@kenyoung3265]

@Zypemaytro Stevie's roster cost them a Playoff spot. Fact

[@mzwhiplash]

They weren't going to go far in the playoffs and it could have hurt their development and hurt the organization long term. Mortgaging the future for short term success is how Holland got us into this mess. What cost us the season was a month and a half where Raymond was the only guy to elevate his game in Larkin's absence. Any player on that roster could have dug deep any night and helped the team get one more point.

[@BrentNinedorf]

Maybe explore trade options with Montreal, Ottawa, or Columbus for Berggren if he isn’t in the plans. Montreal might consider if they want forward help after losing Laine. His contract is cheap and wouldn’t cause massive adjustments.

[@kenyoung3265]

@mzwhiplash Syebie cost them a Playoff spot. Fact. The only thing that got more developed by missing was their golf game. And you have no idea how far they may have gone. Zero
