We\'re 3 years into Steve Yzerman\'s tenure as GM of the Detroit Red Wings, and it\'s time to take stock of the #Yzerplan. Tune in as we discuss The Athletic\'s NHL Front Office Confidence rankings, and whether Yzerman and the Detroit Red Wings ranking among the league\'s best is warranted, what Yzerman, Draper & Co. have done well & what hasn\'t worked out, & whether the Yzerplan is still on track (6:55).

Also, we take a look at Detroit\'s prospects at the World Juniors, discussing Simon Edvinsson\'s less-than-stellar performance, Carter Mazur & Red Savage doing work for Team USA, Sebrango & Cossa winning with Canada, Viro, Wallinder, Niederbach, & more (27:30)! Of course, Mason McTavish\'s insane goal-line save leading to Kent Johnson\'s OT gold medal winner (46:00).

Finally, a look at Nazem Kadri\'s huge contract with Calgary, Montreal taking on Monahan\'s contract in an insanely confusing deal (52:35), & so much more - enjoy!\\xa0
