  1. Detroit vs Carolina. Detroit vs Vegas. And The Dylan Larkin Sweepstakes.

    Detroit vs Carolina. Detroit vs Vegas. And The Dylan Larkin Sweepstakes.

    For years we've asked the question: If the Detroit Red Wings were going to copy another contender, which team should it be? Back when the Hurricanes were making deep playoff runs, we argued Carolina was the blueprint. Now Rod Brind'Amour and the Hurricanes have finally won the Stanley Cup. So how close are the Red Wings to becoming Carolina? And after Vegas reached another Stanley Cup Final, how close are the Red Wings to becoming Vegas? In this episode we compare Detroit's roster, scoring depth, even-strength production, power play production, shooting percentage, and lineup construction against both Stanley Cup finalists. The results are eye-opening. We also discuss the latest Dylan Larkin trade rumors, including reports that Florida has already submitted an offer and a new breakdown from Max Bultman and Shayna Goldman on potential trade destinations. Topics include: • Why Carolina is still the better blueprint for Detroit • Why Vegas is further away than many fans realize • The importance of five-on-five scoring • Detroit's lack of middle-six production • Rod Brind'Amour's system versus roster talent • Florida, Vegas and Minnesota's pursuit of Dylan Larkin • Could Montreal become the best trade partner? • Why Utah might still be the most interesting fit • Mason McTavish and Anaheim • Carolina's potential package • What Steve Yzerman should be looking for in a trade return The Red Wings are entering a franchise-defining offseason. Before we talk about where Dylan Larkin might go, let's figure out where Detroit actually stands. JOIN THE DISCORD: https://discord.gg/rd2RUDkzuS Let’s have fun! Sponsored by Draft Kings!

The Detroit Red Wings captain reportedly handed Steve Yzerman a short list of destinations he'd waive his no-trade clause for, limiting Detroit's leverage and frustrating a fanbase that supported him through ten years of losing hockey. And yet... Two things can be true. Larkin can be handling this poorly. And Steve Yzerman can still be responsible for creating the situation in the first place. In this episode of Red Wings Rant, we discuss how the relationship between the captain and the organization appears to have broken down, why fans are turning on Larkin, and whether Yzerman ever truly built a contender around the player who carried Detroit through the darkest era in franchise history. We also break down potential trade returns from Minnesota, Florida, Tampa Bay, Carolina, Dallas, and Utah while asking the biggest question facing the organization: Did Dylan Larkin quit on the Red Wings? Or did the Red Wings fail Dylan Larkin? Topics include: • Larkin's reported trade request • The short list of destinations • Why Red Wings fans are angry • The "Justin Faulk hot dog" problem • Steve Yzerman's roster construction • Potential trade packages • What happens next for Detroit • Who deserves the most blame For the first time in years, the conversation isn't about rebuilding. It's about accountability. JOIN THE DISCORD: https://discord.gg/rd2RUDkzuS Let’s have fun! Sponsored by Draft Kings!

    Red Wings Offseason Rumors Are Heating Up: Pettersson, McTavish, Kyrou, Robertson & More

    The Detroit Red Wings offseason is officially here, and after missing the playoffs again, the pressure is building on Steve Yzerman to make real changes.   In this episode of Red Wings Rant, we catch up on the latest around Detroit, dive into the NHL rumor mill, and look at how a rising salary cap and a thin free agent class could create a wild trade market this summer.   We discuss potential Red Wings targets including Elias Pettersson, Mason McTavish, Jordan Kyrou, Robert Thomas, Jason Robertson, Alex Tuch, Bobby McMann, Mason Marchment and more. We also break down Max Bultman’s three offseason paths for Detroit and ask the biggest question facing the Yzerplan: is it time for a safe upgrade, a big swing, or a franchise-altering trade?   Topics include:   Why this could be a trade-heavy NHL offseason Whether Elias Pettersson makes sense for Detroit The risk and reward of targeting Mason McTavish Could Jordan Kyrou or Robert Thomas fit the Red Wings? Is Jason Robertson even realistic? What Detroit should do with Sebastian Cossa How the Red Wings can improve five-on-five scoring Why the bottom six needs more speed, edge and identity Whether Yzerman needs to make the playoffs in 2026-27   The Red Wings have cap space, prospects, picks and pressure. Now we find out how aggressive this front office is willing to be. JOIN THE DISCORD: https://discord.gg/rd2RUDkzuS Let’s have fun! Sponsored by Draft Kings!

  4. March Meltdown: Same Story, New Year for the Red Wings

    March Meltdown: Same Story, New Year for the Red Wings

    The calendar flipped to March… and so did the Detroit Red Wings season. For the fourth straight year, the Red Wings fell apart when it mattered most. What once looked like a playoff team — built on health, momentum, and elite goaltending — completely unraveled. This episode of Red Wings Rant breaks down: The illusion of early-season success driven by health and hot goaltending The drop-off from elite to “just good” in net with John Gibson and Cam Talbot Back-to-back embarrassments vs. the Philadelphia Flyers and Pittsburgh Penguins A major disconnect between Todd McLellan and the locker room Why Dylan Larkin and the leadership group are running out of answers We also dive into insights from Max Bultman on how Detroit’s season unraveled — from the Simon Edvinsson injury exposing depth issues, to special teams collapsing, to a team that simply stopped showing urgency. This isn’t just about losing games. It’s about a team that, right now, doesn’t look like it cares enough to win them. And somehow… they’re still in it.
