Red Wings Successful West Coast Trip | Postava, Seider & Trade Talk

I said Detroit would beat Calgary and lose to Vancouver and Edmonton. The Red Wings did the exact opposite. Mike called four points. Apparently, I don’t know puck.

On Season 7, Episode 414 of Red Wings Rant, we happily eat those words after a 2–1–0 week and a 2–1–1 Western road trip. Michal Postava wins his first NHL start, Moritz Seider takes on Edmonton’s star power, and Michael Brandsegg-Nygård delivers 11 hits, the most by a Red Wing since the NHL began tracking the stat in 2005–06.

We break down Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton using Natural Stat Trick’s season-versus-last-week numbers, then compare the Edmonton Game Scores with what we saw on the ice. Arvidsson, Finnie and Raymond deserve their credit, too.

Then we tackle the trade conversation: which teams on Dylan Larkin’s list have the assets to make a deal, why Montreal remains a possibility rather than a confirmed destination, and whether a Pierre-Luc Dubois trade framework makes any sense. One thing is settled on this show: no Justin Holl in our counterproposal.

Finally, we dig into The Athletic’s Simon Edvinsson–St. Louis discussion. Would Lawrence, Dvorsky, picks or a young defenseman make a return worth considering? These are reported developments and trade ideas, not completed deals.

Which young Wing changed your outlook most? And what is your minimum return for Larkin or Edvinsson? Tell us in the comments, like, .
