Caught this video 11 seconds after it posted. Best Red Wings podcast out there. Should be a fun week ahead!

[@TheMarshallMathersLp1980]

Give kane 3 years he is definitely worth it!! He gave copp 5 Years

[@captbloodbeard]

Exactly. I don't know why everyone is so afraid of 3 years for Kane. You can get him for less AAV, and even if his on-ice play in his 3rd year is like Danny Cleary's last season, Kane's knowledge, leadership, and ability to mentor kids like Raymond is worth paying for.

[@briandonley30]

That’s probably the EXACT reason why he didn’t want to give Kane 3 years lol

[@laonpowell6823]

I predict Yzerman trades the pick to cap dump Larkin to the Blackhawks

[@Bryguy1986]

Copp for Trouba.

[@MRProv13]

Are you showing the draft on stream or just you guys?

[@charlesgill280]

Did Evan hit a Nike sasaquatch and go deaf?

[@wilhelm2608]

I'm gonna keep it real: if they draft Connelly immediately after the absolute debacle that was the Walman trade a couple days ago, my faith in the integrity and leadership of this organization will be thoroughly shaken.

[@mattl2642]

Just my opinion. If Catton Eiserman or Sennecke aren't available. I hope they move back a few picks and take Connolly. Potential to grab another 2nd + and a top talent that other teams are afraid to take a chance on.

[@captbloodbeard]

@@mattl2642 The real question is, if we get another second, what player on a good contract are we going to package with it to send to another team?

[@ericscottstevens]

Risky as SY has been lately he really has not drafted well after the 1st round. But eventually it catches up to GMs trying to do too much trades and over relying on other teams to take bad contracts.

[@ericscottstevens]

@@mattl2642 Nice idea but what if no teams want to trade up?

[@mattl2642]

@ericscottstevens just a rumor. But it sounded like Chicago was eager to move up wither their second 1st rounder.

[@BrentNinedorf]

Sharks didn’t seem to have to overpay to move up to 11. Hope we might be able to swap 15 for 11 with them w/ the Walman trade as down payment. I would’ve given a second all day to move up. Buffalo might not have wanted to deal w/ us though (because we would be fighting for playoffs w/ them). Make it so.

[@captbloodbeard]

Please make it so.

[@ginostella8234]

I was hoping the same thing. Favor for favor.

[@captbloodbeard]

Can't wait for this off-season to be over so I can get back to watching a hockey with my buds.

[@nathanbyberg]

I hope we still have Patrick Kane, or I’m gonna be upset!

[@MuskratWhiskers]

Lmao Hage is not at all a better skater than Connelly, what are you smoking!?

[@Cringleberg]

Kappo Kakko and maybe something else attached to Trouba? Ehh? Eh?

[@StickinAroundHockey]

Wouldn't mind it honestly. Would also create competition among the young guys and maybe light a fire for Kakko to not get outplayed by the newest guys

[@IndicacannaJones]

What if, and I don't necessarily believe this, but I need something to turn the seemingly insane Walman trade into some form of sanity, whatever happened behind the scenes, Yzerman had such disdain for Walman that he said F-you, you're going to the basement, and to ensure this, I'm not even risking waivers and I'm deciding your fate, 2nd-round pick be damned.

[@ericscottstevens]

This trade reeks of substance abuse issues. Other similar NHL trades in the past eventually the truth comes out why almost every team was not interested in the player.

[@FloydPinkerton]

@@ericscottstevens he bogarted stevie's bong

[@mctendies1413]

No way any of these guys fall that far. They are all top ten picks for sure 😆

[@hawkputt1]

Even you break me up.

[@ericscottstevens]

Trevor Connelly is a swing for the fences (shake things up) selection that Detroit has shied away from but they have to make a big splash as the lull of development is going plottingly along for all of Detroit's draft picks except Raymond and Seider. Connelly has had some maturity issues and would have to learn the Red Wings way of doing things. Right handed forwards available is a great bonus at pick 15. Catton or Yakmechuk falling down to Detroit would be a supremely sweet surprise tonight.

[@ondrejherceg90]

This will be a fun few days for sure. Can't wait for the draft night!

[@ericscottstevens]

Round 2 is usually the cut of point. A lot of names and prospects. All teams start going off their own lists. Detroit has to find late round gems, it is imperative for the rebuild. So far Mazur is the only candidate.

[@brianmcevoy1990]

I dont think Luchanko should be counted out as a wings pick. He checks a lot of boxes for Yzerman. Compete, two-way, speed, smarts and quite skilled too.

[@keithgarrett2373]

Maybe trade that guy "Future Considerations" for Gibson!

[@Tyler-ml6ip]

Berkly Catton and Carter Yakemchuk look like the two best players in this draft to me. Also AJ Spellacy should be a first round pick. Every year there are so many players ranked high that I have no interest in. This draft seems pretty weak. Trevor Connelly is fast but I wouldn't draft him if he's got issues. If Catton or Yakemchuk aren't there at 15 I'm drafting Liam Greentree or AJ Spellacy or I'm trading the pick

[@ericscottstevens]

Connelly can become unhinged, yet he is being compared to Mat Barzal. Plus much has to be done to increase Trevor's physical conditioning at 161 pounds.

[@OneAndOnlyKJx]

No way Sennecke goes that early and Dickson won't be going that late either.

[@OneAndOnlyKJx]

Well I was wrong 😂

[@klompsauce]

LGRW 🐙🐙🐙🐙 Big day tomorrow, who are you hoping for with our first pick?

[@mattl2642]

After this week.. Im just hoping Steve doesn't hand over a few picks to move back in the draft 😂

[@captbloodbeard]

@@mattl2642 Maybe we sign Seider to 8x8, then realize that's a lot of money so we have to use our first rounder to get San Jose to take him off our hands.

[@ericscottstevens]

With a prayer Berkly Catton or Carter Yakemchuk. Not sure that will happen but it is nice to dream.

[@KamalaCrawlsUnderDesks]

This year's first, next year's first and second, Berggren and maybe another prospect for Draisatl??

[@ericscottstevens]

May as well add in the 2026 first rounder (protected) and it probably is a go.

[@إسماعيلالأندلسي]

No way

[@lilidk6150]

Ottawa take Iginla and trade away Tkachuk for Raymond+

[@maxhornell6820]

Detroit should never accept that
