Top Copp, Bertuzzi Out, and Goalie Troubles - Dec. 1st, 2022

The Detroit Red Wings have had some goalie troubles... Tune in as the Winged Wheel Podcast opens the show with a surprise gift from the Detroit Red Wings to kick off the festive season (0:00) before diving into Detroit's recent games against the Toronto Maple Leafs (7:45) and the Buffalo Sabres (16:30), including: strong offense from Mo Seider but weak defense from the Seider Chiarot pairing, Ville Husso and Alex Nedeljkovic struggles, failed power plays, Berggren, Sundqvist, Copp, Hronek, Larkin, & others producing, whether these are "good" losses, & lots more. We also discuss key storylines surrounding the team, including Tyler Bertuzzi's second broken hand/wrist from a blocked shot & how this affects his future with the team (via contract extension or a trade), how he fits into Derek Lalonde's systems, Steve Yzerman's roster moves with Soderblom maybe not being back, & more (27:00). Also, Andrew Copp has emerged as an incredibly effective player in Hockeytown as he continues to recover from surgery - we discuss Detroit's center depth (including whether Bo Horvat could be a farfetched fit) now & future with Marco Kasper (38:20). With Magnus Hellberg sent down to the Grand Rapids Griffins on a conditioning stint, what does this mean for Alex Nedeljkovic's future? Could he be scratched, traded, or even waived?
