We open in honor of Alex Delvecchio's memory - forever a legend of the Detroit Red Wings and the NHL. (00:00)

NHL Free Agency has come and almost completely gone, and it went as predicted for the Detroit Red Wings (6:45)...tune in as we discuss every one of Steve Yzerman's moves, including: signing Albert Johansson (12:05), bringing back Jonatan Berggren (14:25), trading Vladimir Tarasenko away (15:50), keeping Showtime going in Hockeytown as Patrick Kane re-signs in Detroit (18:20), Ian Mitchell depth signing (25:30), Jacob Bernard-Docker brought in on defense (26:35), James van Riesmdyk signed (finally) with the Red Wings (33:35), Mason Appleton signed (37:20), John Leonard (organizational depth) signed and Elmer Soderblom extended (44:05).

After that, we take a look at the cap space Steve Yzerman has to work with, what holes are left to fill in the Detroit Red Wings roster, who the top 6 forward could be alongside Dylan Larkin, Lucas Raymond, Marco Kasper, Patrick Kane, and Alex DeBrincat, if a top 4 defenseman can still be available to join Mortiz Seider, Simon Edvinsson, Ben Chiarot, and Albert Johansson, how John Gibson helps the team's playoff hopes, whether Ehlers could come to Hockeytown, how close Yzerman was to trading for K'Andre Miller, if the Detroit Red Wings can be a playoff team, and so much more (47:15).

Next, a look at some of the contracts signed across the NHL, including Mitch Marner's sign and trade to Vegas, Brad Marchand & Aaron Ekblad staying in Florida, Evan Bouchard's extension in Edmonton, Ivan Provorov, Vladislav Gavrikov, & more (1:19:45).

All of that & plenty more (including our farewell to Bob McKenzie as he retires) before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment (1:32:00) - enjoy!
