Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Red Wings' Legend Sergei Fedorov's 91 Retired | Ep. 367
Q: What are your thoughts on the Red Wings' recent performance?
The Red Wings have been dominant, with standout performances from key players including Andrew Copp and John Gibson.
Way Too Early Trade Chat? | Ep. 365
Q: What do you think about the Red Wings' current needs in terms of trade?
The biggest needs are a top six forward, specifically on the left side, and maybe two defensemen, one top four and another bottom pairing.
Moritz Seider's Dominance | Ep. 359
Q: What do you think it would take to get Quinn Hughes?
It would likely require a future potential first line center, a first round pick, and possibly another prospect like ASP, and if Hughes commits to re-signing with Detroit, the terms could soften on what players are involved.
Do the Red Wings have a Gibson Problem? | Ep. 356
Q: How many points do the Wings need before Christmas to feel comfortable in a playoff spot?
Based on historical performance, the team needs over 40 points by the halfway mark to feel comfortable making the playoffs.

Q: Do the Red Wings have a finishing problem?
