Seider's Backhand, Yzerman's RHD Plans, and Michkov Draft Profile - Mar. 12th, 2023

Published: March 13, 2023, 2:31 a.m.

Lots to cover after the Detroit Red Wings had an interesting home-and-home series against Tyler Bertuzzi & the Boston Bruins!

Tune in as we discuss Detroit's performance over the two games, including Alex Chiasson's successful stint with the Red Wings (especially at the net-front on the power play, taking Sundqvist's role), Copp, Larkin, & Raymond producing, a physical series against Marchand & Co., Moritz Seider's beautiful breakway backhander for the shorthanded goal, & plenty more (3:55)!

Also, updates on Robby Fabbri (19:20), as well as promising news about Carter Mazur & Marco Kasper - could they make the Red Wings next season, or will the Grand Rapids Griffins get a big boost (not to mention Edvinsson, Johansson, Wallinder, & others) (21:40)?

Next, with Filip Hronek traded & not much in the pipeline, what will Steve Yzerman do to fill the hole at right defense? Will Lalonde keep Chiarot on the right side, or will Yzerman pursue a Karlsson, Gudas, Dumba, or Maatta 2.0-type (27:05)?

With the 2023 NHL Draft looming, one name has become extremely interesting: Matvei Michkov. With the Russian phenom poised to stay in the KHL until 2026, would he be too big of a risk to draft? Tune in for our full analysis on his insane hockey IQ, offensive skills, & what makes him such an enticing prospect (even next to Connor Bedard) (43:00).

All of that & lots more before taking your questions during Overtime (59:20) - enjoy!
