Red Wings In Offseason Limbo Without a General Manager

The Detroit Red Wings are the only NHL team without a GM although Steve Yzerman is still running the day-to-day operations until his successor is appointed. We discuss how the Red Wings got into this situation and how it impacts the team's rebuild, the Dylan Larkin situation and the upcoming season.

Plus, more expansion buzz across the NHL with either Houston or Austin considered the most likely next team. We'll analyze what it would mean for the NHL, for Texas hockey, a potential rivalry with the Dallas Stars and the possible expansion of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

And the IIHF announced that Russia would not be participating in four tournaments this year but are we getting close to Russia's return to international hockey competition? What would it take for that to happen?

All this and more on today's Locked On NHL Podcast with Rachel Donner and Gil Martin.
