MORITZ SEIDER HAS SIGNED! Steve Yzerman locks up the remaining pillar of the Detroit Red Wings core and decides that the Winged Wheel Podcast offseason ends a week early!

Tune in as we break down the huge news of Moritz Seider's 7 year, 8.55 million AAV contract to keep him in Hockeytown long term: overall value, how it compares to the likes of Faber, Sanderson, Power, and others, where he stacks up among the highest paid defensemen in the league like Makar and Dahlin, how the 7 vs. 8 year deal staggers him from Lucas Raymond and matches him with Dylan Larkin, what to expect from him in the future, whether Simon Edvinsson or Ben Chiarot can act as a support moving forward in Derek Lalonde's system, & more (3:45).

After that, we discuss Detroit's playoffs and Stanley Cup window, what Steve Yzerman has to do to add to the core 3 plus Kane, Tarasenko, DeBrincat, Johansson, Danielson, Mazur, Sandin Pellikka, Brandsegg-Nygard, Cossa, & others, & whether they need a superstar like Marner or Rantanen (36:15).

Next, a quick update on Detroit Red Wings Training Camp in Traverse City (50:15), as well as NHL news (including Crosby's deal, expansion, Utah, & more) (53:00) before we take your questions & comments in our Overtime segment (1:00:05) - enjoy the show!
