Yzerman Signs Hamonic and Trade Rumor Backlog - Aug. 17th, 2025
Description
Steve Yzerman has made a move in the form of bringing Travis Hamonic in to the Detroit Red Wings defense corps.
Tune in as we're joined by Max Bultman of The Athletic Detroit to discuss the signing, how it affects Todd McLellan's options on the blue line, competing with Justin Holl and Jacob Bernard-Docker, Seider and Edvinsson's slotting, impact on the Grand Rapids Griffins, and what Steve Yzerman needs to do by way of trade or free agency to fix the blue line and keep playoff hopes alive. (3:30 )
After that, we get into the stagnant but present NHL trade market, the Detroit Red Wings' potential interest in Erik Karlsson, Mason McTavish, and Kyle Connor, whether Axel Sandin Pellikka or Nate Danielson would be worth giving up to get more offensive support for Lucas Raymond, Dylan Larkin, Alex DeBrincat, Patrick Kane, and Marco Kasper, & more (40:00 ).
All of that and lots more before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment (57:10 ) - enjoy!
