Larkin’s Trade Deadline Comments and Yzerman’s Offseason

Is Dylan Larkin feeling like the Red Wings need more urgency to contend?

Tune in as we jump back in on Dylan Larkin’s comments regarding Steve Yzerman’s lack of trades to bolster the Detroit Red Wings at the NHL trade deadline, and whether any frustrations are justified, how much goes back to Yzerman’s handling of free agency (Tarasenko, Holl, Gustafsson), and what the core of Larkin, Raymond, Seider, DeBrincat, Edvinsson, Kane, Kasper, and others need to do to make the Stanley Cup Playoffs (4:00). Also, how important is this offseason for Steve Yzerman, Kris Draper & Co.? Do they need to go big game hunting for Mitch Marner, Ehlers, Peterka, or other stars (21:55)?

Next, a wild time in the NHL off-ice, including Rutherford’s comments on Quinn, Jack, & Luke Hughes, Willander and Tocchet drama, Chris Drury being renewed, Lou Lamoriello being fired, Bylsma out & shakeup with the Seattle Kraken, & more (33:25) before an update on the Stanley Cup Playoffs, including a wild Game 1 between Connor McDavid’s Edmonton Oilers and the Los Angeles Kings (48:15).
