Winged Wheel Podcast

We are pleased to be joined by University of Denver champion, Grand Rapids Griffins forward, and Detroit Red Wings prospect Carter Mazur! First, we recap Detroit's recent games and where it has left them in the Connor Bedard Draft Lottery standings, with the Islanders, Canucks, Blues, and Capitals all factoring into the Red Wings' draft pick luck. Also, a heated discussion on the wear & tear of tanking & what Steve Yzerman has to do this offseason (3:30). Next, we discuss the decision to send Simon Edvinsson down after 9 games, sliding his ELC to next season: was it the right decision, how he compares to past rookies like Seider & Raymond's paths, & more (20:35). Next, our interview with Carter Mazur, where we discuss his path to the AHL, how Little Caesars, USHL, & NCAA hockey shaped his game, how his connection to Kris Draper led him to Hockeytown, his ability to score & grind, whether he wants to be compared to Darren Helm or Tyler Bertuzzi, & so much more!
