COSSA TRADE AND JP HURLBERT DRAFT ANALYSIS (Live Bonus Episode) - Detroit Red Wings Trade and 23rd Pick Reaction - June 27th, 2026

Dylan Larkin's 10-team trade list is out, & the Utah Mammoth may change the outlook. This Detroit Red Wings podcast also covers Simon Edvinsson's contract meeting & the Red Wings vs Kraken recap in a 4-3 shootout loss to open a West Coast road trip. (00:00) - Intro The Finnie turtlenecks are coming. (04:00) - Larkin's Ten-Team Trade List Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports the 10 teams Dylan Larkin would accept in his trade request, and Utah and New Jersey are among the new names. Utah's prospect pool could spark a bidding war with Desnoyers and Iginla being targets, but Elliotte Friedman reports the Mammoth aren't keen on moving their top young pieces, and they're known as brutal trade partners. (20:00) - Montreal Omission & Prospect Targets Montreal and every other Canadian team are still missing from the list, so which prospects would be an automatic yes? Tij Iginla or Caleb Desnoyers would get a yes as the headliner of a package, while prying a top prospect like Cole Hutson or Ilya Protas out of Washington is an extreme long shot. (24:20) - Ownership's Win-Now Mandate Chris Ilitch wants to win now, but demanding NHL-ready players in a trade while stalling on Simon Edvinsson's contract doesn't add up. (33:30) - Edvinsson Contract Meeting Pierre LeBrun reports Simon Edvinsson and agent J.P. Barry met face to face with the Red Wings this past weekend, though the read is that Edvinsson's side still prefers a trade. LeBrun points to the Bowen Byram, Sergachev, and Dobson trades as comparables, but with a December 1 deadline to sign him for this season, waiting out the contract standoff might be the smart play for Horcoff. (51:05) - Kraken Comeback & Shootout Down 3-0 with 11 shots through two periods, Detroit claws back on goals from Viktor Arvidsson and Lucas Raymond, whose power play tally is his first of the season. Alex DeBrincat ties it with 16 seconds left to stretch the point streak to five games, but Dylan Larkin can't convert the final attempt of the shootout. (01:00:25) - Around the NHL Henrik Zetterberg has his number retired by Timrå, and the Penguins' Ben Kindel is conscious and stable after a medical scare turned the team plane around. Plus, Ottawa fans' signs for Brady Tkachuk's homecoming and Connor McDavid's 243-point pace with six goals and 20 assists through nine games. (01:05:10) - Overtime Mailbag Your questions on Trevor Connelly's hot start in Vegas and Jimmy Devellano saying the Red Wings and Dylan Larkin have "kind of kissed and made up." Plus, Michael Rasmussen's heavy minutes, Carter Mazur's outlook and why the Red Wings lineup runs 11 forwards and seven defensemen. ----- WWP Night at the LCA dates announced!

Two straight wins for the first time this season! This Detroit Red Wings podcast brings the Red Wings vs Flyers and Sharks recaps, from Anton Johansson's first NHL goal in a 2-1 win to Moritz Seider's stalwart play & Lucas Raymond's shootout winner in Saturday's comeback. (00:00) - Intro & Rasmussen Reverse Jinx Calling out Michael Rasmussen's point drought last episode worked! (05:30) - Red Wings Game Recaps Johansson skips a line change coming out of the penalty box to score on a two-on-one, and Andrew Copp buries the late winner against a winless Philadelphia team. Down 3-1 in the third to San Jose, Detroit gets more stellar play from Finnie & MBN, Alex DeBrincat's tying goal with about a minute and a half left, and nearly 30 minutes from Moritz Seider. (31:30) - Bernard-Docker On Waivers Jacob Bernard-Docker, signed through next season at $1.6 million, goes unclaimed and heads to Grand Rapids, a vote of confidence in Detroit's young right-handed defensemen. (36:20) - Edvinsson Sighting Simon Edvinsson pops up at a Colgate women's hockey pregame skate in a Red Wings practice jersey and a Boston University helmet - sign a contract is close, or just noise? (39:10) - Larkin Montreal Trade Theory & Red Wings Notess Ryan's tinfoil-hat theory is that Detroit and Montreal both want to settle Larkin's trade request together, with Canadiens prospect Michael Hage as the dream return, even though most call him a non-starter. Plus, Michael Brandsegg-Nygard sits tied for second in rookie scoring playing alongside 1C Emmitt Finnie, and the Rangers kick tires on goalies with John Gibson's name in the mix. (53:05) - Ilitch on Horcoff's Future Chris Ilitch tells a group of reporters that interim GM Shawn Horcoff is a candidate to have the tag removed but the GM/President of Hockey Ops search continues, right after Horcoff got the Alex DeBrincat contract done. Is Horcoff the president of hockey ops type? What's his path where he stays on as GM under one? (01:00:05) - Hellebuyck Suspension Fallout The Jets suspended Connor Hellebuyck without pay for about three weeks after he skipped training camp to push for a trade. With captain Adam Lowry saying there'll have to be a conversation, will Winnipeg play him at all? (01:04:05) - Overtime Mailbag Your questions on trading for Oilers forward Isaac Howard and MBN's Calder odds. Plus, why running 11 forwards and seven defensemen is the right lineup call and how Todd McLellan is deploying the kids. --- WWP Night at the LCA dates announced!

Alex DeBrincat signs a seven-year, $91 million extension with the Red Wings, and this Detroit Red Wings podcast grades the deal and asks why Simon Edvinsson still isn't signed. Plus a Red Wings vs Devils recap of the 5-4 overtime loss, six games into the season. (00:00) - Intro A rare bit of optimism in Hockeytown as the DeBrincat extension news landed. Detroit finally gets a win, and everyone takes a turn at "we're so back." (04:50) - DeBrincat Extension Breakdown Alex DeBrincat stays with his hometown team for seven more years at $13 million a season. Our full contract breakdown and grade, details on trade protections, and a why it may be a statement from interim GM Shawn Horcoff and ownership that they'll take care of their guys. (16:05) - Red Wings Retool Timeline Committing to DeBrincat through age 36 rules out a teardown, even for a team with one win so far. Is this a two-to-three-year retool around Moritz Seider, Lucas Raymond, and the young core, or can it happen next season - and how much does the Dylan Larkin trade decide that? (23:25) - Edvinsson Contract Standoff Simon Edvinsson is headed back to North America to skate with a trainer his agency set up, but no trade or signing is done. Shawn Horcoff says he has "zero interest" in trading him - so after the DeBrincat deal, is the pressure finally on Edvinsson? (37:35) - Devils Game Recap Emmitt Finnie buries a perfect stretch pass from Michael Brandsegg-Nygard to give Detroit life, and Finnie returns the favor in the second. Alex DeBrincat ties it twice, but Jack Hughes wins it 5-4 on an overtime breakaway after a high-risk three-on-three pass from Raymond. (47:30) - Raymond Demotion & Rasmussen Drought Practice lines drop Lucas Raymond onto a line with Michael Rasmussen, and the numbers are brutal: 32 NHL goalies have recorded a point since Rasmussen's last one on January 5. Plus, Dylan Larkin still looks hurt - do you sit him while his trade request stands? (58:50) - Griffins Prospect Update Michal Postava opens 3-0 for the Grand Rapids Griffins with a 1.34 GAA and player of the week honors, making him the next goalie up in Detroit. Jesse Kiiskinen's seven points in five games make the case for a call-up, and Carter Bear scores his first goal. (01:04:00) - Overtime Mailbag Patron questions on Nate Danielson's slow start, whether a defenseman like Landon DuPont changes a franchise the way a center does, and Gary Bettman's look at movement clauses. Plus, Shawn Horcoff and Kris Draper scouting Danila Yurov as the Dylan Larkin trade talks continue. --- WWP Night at the LCA dates announced!

Red Wings vs. Kraken & Canadiens recaps: Detroit blows a lead in a 6-3 loss, then falls 1-0 in a shootout. This Detroit Red Wings podcast also covers Simon Edvinsson's contract standoff & Bell Centre fans chanting for Dylan Larkin amid his trade request. (00:00) - Intro Wild times in the world of Hockeytown - is this Detroit's "gas leak" season? (04:00) - Kraken & Canadiens Losses William Wallinder and Michael Brandsegg-Nygard score their first NHL goals, but the Red Wings melted down and, as Todd McLellan put it, "the team got lazy and complacent". On the second night of the back-to-back, Daniil Tarasov is perfect through regulation, overtime and five shootout rounds while three goals get taken off the board, and Detroit still couldn't score. (24:10) - Nate Danielson & Shootout Choice Discussion on the offensive vs. defensive value of the Andrew Copp line. Also, Nate Danielson is playing without any confidence, and the hosts split on sending him out for the sixth round of the shootout. (35:50) - "We Want Larkin" Chant There's no playbook for a home crowd chanting for the visiting team's former captain while he's asking out of Detroit. Why Michael Hage isn't on the table, why Dylan Larkin likely isn't heading north of the border, & why Todd McLellan shut down questions about the distraction. (43:30) - Simon Edvinsson Contract Watch A report says Simon Edvinsson still prefers a trade while the Red Wings say they want to sign him, with a December 1 deadline looming. Why $10 million, just 9.62% of this year's cap, is the overpay worth making, and why Utah is the rumored front-runner if it comes to a trade. (01:01:00) - Shesterkin Injury & Gibson Trade With Igor Shesterkin out for the season, the hosts argue Detroit should call the Rangers about John Gibson now, likely for around a second-round pick. (01:04:25) - Overtime Mailbag Patrons ask how far Detroit has to sink before management acts, and one prediction is that they stand pat until a Justin Faulk trade for a second at the deadline. Plus, the top power play unit, why a $77 million, seven-year offer sheet for Edvinsson would cost four first-round picks, and whether trading him makes sense. --- WWP Night at the LCA dates announced!

Dylan Larkin is back, trade request and all, as Detroit grabs its first win of the season, 5-3. This Detroit Red Wings podcast has the Red Wings vs Senators recap, updates on the Simon Edvinsson contract standoff, & Justin Faulk's highlight reel goal. (00:00) - Intro Justin Faulk splits the D and buries one from a tough angle, and Emmitt Finnie throws down in the end-of-period yard sale as we're finally talking positive hockey. (04:00) - Larkin's Return & Trade Outlook Dylan Larkin gets booed on his first shift but earns applause by the end with a goal, an assist and some sticking up for his teammates. Could a soft October schedule have Detroit overly optimistic about keeping him, or would Larkin ever consider changing his mind? (23:15) - Senators Game Recap Alex DeBrincat scores twice, including the empty-netter, and Lucas Raymond racks up three assists. Carter Mazur and William Wallinder each pick up their first career NHL point. Justin Faulk hits 500 career points including an amazing individual effort. (39:30) - Edvinsson Contract Talks The Edvinsson talks are stuck on AAV, with one reported Red Wings offer at six years and about $8.5 million. Detroit is fielding calls on a trade return, but we still say "pay the tax" and get him signed. (46:45) - Kasper Injury & Scouting Reshuffle Marco Kasper and Mason Appleton land on IR, both listed week to week. Shawn Horcoff's changes so far: Kris Draper moves over to lead Pro Scouting, Jesse Wallin leads Amateur Scouting, and Mark Leach returns to the amateur scouting staff. (52:40) - Panthers Woes & Ovechkin Farewell Florida loses Aleksander Barkov for roughly eight weeks, and Brad Marchand hurts his knee. Alex Ovechkin makes his final season official, and Calgary's Connor Zary clears waivers. (57:45) - Overtime Mailbag Patron questions on Viktor Arvidsson's two-way game and Larkin calling himself a "hockey player" in his post-game interview.
