Is it time to see what Sebastian Cossa can do in Detroit? Should Alex DeBrincat be on Team USA's Olympic roster? Are Pavel Mintyukov or Quinn Hughes realistic trade options for Steve Yzerman?

Max Bultman of The Athletic Detroit joins us on this remote episode to discuss all of that & more! Tune in as we start by recapping the Detroit Red Wings and their split weekend, including an ugly loss to Schaefer and the Islanders, and a comeback win against Fantilli & the Columbus Blue Jackets, including: different play between John Gibson & Cam Talbot, huge games from Raymond, Seider, DeBrincat, Chiarot, & others, questionable calls on Patrick Kane & goal reviews, & lots more from Todd McLellan's squad's up and down weekend (3:30). Next, a look at the tight Atlantic division, as well as Axel Sandin-Pellikka's play, whether he would benefit from the press box or a stint with the AHL's Grand Rapids Griffins, & his development trajectory (25:35).

After that, we analyze Hockeytown's goaltending, and whether calling up Sebastian Cossa is warranted to reward him for his strong play and to shake things up for John Gibson (41:55). We then make the case of Alex DeBrincat's Team USA Olympic roster chances, discuss his strong play alongside Dylan Larkin & Lucas Raymond, how he stacks up to Caufield, Tage Thompson, Kyle Connor, & others, and more (56:55).

Finally, we discuss the potential trade availability of Pavel Mintyukov and where he'd slot in alongside Moritz Seider, Ben Chiarot, Axel Sandin-Pellikka, Simon Edvinsson, & the rest of the blue line, as well as shooting for the stars in a Quinn Hughes trade & which of Nate Danielson, Marco Kasper, Carter Bear, Michael Brandsegg-Nygard, Trey Augustine, & other premium pieces would have to be in play (1:02:45).

All of that & lots more before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment (1:15:00) - enjoy!
