NHL free agency is heating up before it even begins, and Max Bultman joins us once again on this remote episode to break it all down.

Tune in as we discuss Steve Yzerman and the Detroit Red Wings' potential free agency targets to fill the holes around Dylan Larkin, Lucas Raymond, Alex DeBrincat, Moritz Seider, Simon Edvinsson, Patrick Kane, Marco Kasper and others: would you rather overpay Mitch Marner or Sam Bennett? Could Aaron Ekblad be the answer? Nikolaj Ehlers, Brad Marchand, Brock Boeser, or Brock Nelson? Trade for a Byram or Marchment? (3:35) Also, updates on the Toledo Walleye, Muskegon Lumberjacks, and Dylan and Kenzie Larkin welcoming their first child into the world! (37:20)

Next, the IIHF World Championships provide unexpected cinema as Denmark upsets Crosby, MacKinnon, and Team Canada, Tage Thompson give USA their first gold medal in 92 years, and the Swiss are slept on (39:35) before we jump into our Stanley Cup Playoffs update: Matthew Tkachuk and the Florida Panthers making easy work of Svechnikov and the Hurricanes, and Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, and the Edmonton Oilers taking charge vs. Rantanen and the Stars (44:20). After some quick NHL news involving former Detroit Red Wings great Brendan Shanahan, we jump into our 2025 NHL Draft Prospect Profile on Jack Nesbitt, and then discuss whether Victor Eklund could be poised to fall for Steve Yzerman to add to the pipeline that already includes Michael Brandsegg-Nygard, Nate Danielson, and more (56:20).

All of that & lots more before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment (1:08:15) - enjoy!
