The NHL Is Going All-In... So Why Are The Red Wings Standing Still?

Tomorrow is the NHL Draft, and somehow the Detroit Red Wings head into it without a first-round pick while the rest of the league reshapes the NHL.

Since our last episode we've seen one of the wildest trade weeks in recent memory.

• Brady Tkachuk joins his brother in Florida.
• Washington adds Alex Tuch and Jordan Kyrou.
• Ottawa lands William Eklund.
• Buffalo flips Bowen Byram into the 4th overall pick.
• Calgary pays a massive price for Simon Nemec.
• Colorado, Toronto and several others continue adding NHL talent.

Meanwhile...

The Dylan Larkin situation continues to evolve.

Reports suggest his trade list may now include Utah and San Jose, opening the door to entirely new conversations.

Could San Jose's No. 2 overall pick actually be available?

Did Mike Grier and Steve Yzerman build enough trust through the Jake Walman trade to revisit "future considerations?"

Is Florida now effectively out after landing Brady Tkachuk?

Most importantly...

Has Steve Yzerman once again waited too long while the market moves around him?

We also dive into:

• Chris Johnston's newest trade board
• Max Bultman's thoughts on whether the Brady Tkachuk trade sets the floor or ceiling for Dylan Larkin
• The weak unrestricted free agent market
• Shayna Goldman's RFA targets
• Whether Detroit should reacquire its own first-round pick to become an offer sheet player
• Teams with multiple first-round selections and whether Detroit should target draft capital or NHL-ready replacements.

The offseason isn't slowing down—and neither are we.
