ABOUT THIS EPISODE
This Detroit Red Wings podcast welcomes top-ranked Red Wings prospect Trey Augustine for his first-ever interview on the show ahead of training camp! Hockeytown news & analysis covers the GM search candidates, Simon Edvinsson's unsigned contract, & Cale Makar's record-setting deal in Colorado.
(00:00) - Intro & Episode Preview
(05:40) - Trey Augustine Interview The goalie prospect on signing his entry-level contract, his thoughts on the Sebastian Cossa trade, his Michigan State years, back-to-back World Juniors golds, his ATO with the Grand Rapids Griffins, growing up watching Pavel Datsyuk at the Joe, and why he's going into camp on a mission.
(35:30) - Red Wings Notes GM Search Update Jeff Kealty, Brett Peterson, and Scott White among the reported external interviews: what each candidate brings and why the lack of retreads is encouraging. Also notes on Eddie Genborg and the looming Mason/Lucas Raymond nightmare continuing on national broadcasts.
(51:30) - Makar's Record Contract, Quinn Hughes' Contract & Hellebuyck Trade Request The richest deal in NHL history at $20.4 million AAV and what a blank-check superstar market means going forward. Minnesota's cap crunch just got scarier, and Connor Hellebuyck goes public in Winnipeg, plus how both situations ripple back to Detroit's Dylan Larkin trade rumors.
(1:04:55) - Overtime: Patron Questions When to hit the panic button on the Edvinsson contract, deadline returns for expiring deals, and which Canadian city would get the next expansion team (or rather why almost none will anytime soon).
