The Detroit Red Wings, once the NHL’s model franchise, now find themselves in a precarious position with captain Dylan Larkin sidelined due to injury, and awaiting a requested trade out of Hockeytown, and with defenseman Simon Edvinsson back in Sweden awaiting a new contract. The guys discuss the latest out of Detroit and break down how their troubles could have been avoided in the offseason. Plus, reaction to Alex Ovechkin’s final season announcement, an uneven start for the Oilers, how Sasha Barkov’s potentially longterm injury will impact the Panthers and the Eastern Conference, and commissioner Gary Bettman saying the league could tweak no-trade clauses if issues continue to arise.
