2023 is off to a tough start for the Detroit Red Wings, and Steve Yzerman, Derek Lalonde & Co. have some interesting decisions to make over the rest of the season.

Tune in as we open by recapping Detroit's two losses to Florida & Toronto, including bad special teams play & thoughts on what Alex Tanguay can do, Robby Fabbri's strong return, Jake Walman's homecoming goal against the Leaf, Hellberg holding his own, & more (4:40).

Next, our "State of the Red Wings" address. Is the "Yzerplan" on track? Did Steve Yzerman do the right thing signing the likes of Ben Chiarot, Andrew Copp, & others? What's to come of Dylan Larkin & Tyler Bertuzzi? How are Lucas Raymond, Moritz Seider, & the overall rebuild progressing? Should Detroit tank for Connor Bedard, or are the playoffs still a possibility? All of that & LOTS more in our overview of where Hockeytown is at with the Trade Deadline not far away (13:20).

Also - how much of a priority is it to re-sign Jake Walman? Is he part of Detroit's long-term future? Does signing affect him affect Olli Maatta, Simon Edvinsson, Albert Johansson, or others (39:05)? Finally, Tyler Bertuzzi (and/or Filip Zadina) is poised to return, with Elmer Soderblom being assigned to the AHL (50:00) & what that means for Bertuzzi & Soderblom, plus Alex Nedeljkovic & Jakub Vrana's performance in Grand Rapids (53:25). To close, a recap of Connor Bedard and Team Canada's World Juniors gold medal, USA's bronze medal, Czechia's fantastic performance, & a potential tournament in Ann Arbor (54:40) - all of that & lots more - tune in & enjoy!
