Danielson, Sandin Pellikka, and Playoff What-Ifs - May 1st, 2024

Winged Wheel Podcast - A Detroit Red Wings Podcast

Just because the season is over doesn't mean Red Wings fans aren't excited about hockey, thanks to the likes of Nate Danielson and Axel Sandin Pellikka.

Tune in as we start by discussing Nate Danielson's offensive increase as he moved from the Brandon Wheat Kings to the Portland Winterhawks, whether he can make the Detroit Red Wings next season, his future as a potential 2C alongside Dylan Larkin, how he'd fit with players like Lucas Raymond or Alex DeBrincat, & more (4:45). After that, Axel Sandin Pellikka's celebrations as Skelleftea won the SHL title, his future as a high-end right-handed defenseman to support Moritz Seider on that side, what his timeline is to land in Detroit based on what Steve Yzerman said, & more (14:30).

Next, an update on the Stanley Cup Playoffs, including Detroit's Wild Card race rivals all failing miserably, how the LCA would've done with playoff hockey, what's next for the Rangers, Hurricanes, Bruins, Leafs, Panthers, Golden Knights, Stars, Avalanche, Oilers, Kings, Canucks, and Predators (21:30), PLUS discussion on Vegas' LTIR salary cap drama (50:00).

Finally, our 2024 NHL Draft Prospect Profile on Russian star Ivan Demidov (56:45) & lots more before we take your questions and comments during our Overtime segment (1:01:55) - enjoy!
