The Yzerman section was great. Gave some good insight into his thought process, more than I'd expect honestly. Mentioned Buffalo being in on Seider again. Seems like you can infer they had Johanssom higher on their board than Mastrosimone, but thought Mastrosimone would go before their next pick and wanted a forward.
The four person panel on the other hand was just bad. They need to silence Art
In all fairness, I'm frequently astounded at how bad NHL presenters etc are across the board. Some of the play by play guys and the 'colour' guys are really great, but the vast majority of overall coverage, not just of the wings is really bad. Art Regner has the most annoying voice and rambles like an amateur. That said, you look at the local beat writers and despair too. When you stumble across a good NHL journalist, writer or presenter it reminds you how bad so many others are. I mean, I know being a black presenter in a mostly white sport with a history of racism is a hard gig, but has Trevor Thompson ever said anything interesting at all?
Ken Daniels and Micky are great though. Easy to listen to, entertaining and for most part, know their stuff in what is the most difficult media gig.
Trevor Thompson is there to promote the Red Wings brand, interview players, and do cheesy puff pieces on the team. One can only make those things so interesting....they are going to be boring no matter who the person is.
This segment was fun:

Someone tell the organization about Regner, I don't think they know.
How could they not, though?
He stutters through what would be the open silence thus saving himself... He was so bad question wise during the recent podcast with Larkin that I had to turn it off. He kept calling him captain even after Larkin flat out said it is getting kind of annoying.
I like Trevor a lot actually. I think him and Osgood have both gotten better and better as time went on. I will miss Eliot this year. Really only Keating and Regner bother me in terms of on air talent. A full season of Murph should be ridiculous
Larry Murphy is actually bad but in a spectacular I want to watch way...
I would very happily listen to Mickey and Ken with Murph between the benches for 82 games a season if I could.Murphy is bad but hes entertaining if that makes any sense. He says funny **** and can actually chime in at times with some hockey knowledge. He might not be the most professional but really who cares? When he does games with Mickey and Ken I end up more entertained than when its someone like Osgood or Keating

Does anybody think Patrick Holway will ever make the wings. In development camp I thought he looked big and I can see him having a bit of a mean streak, the guy seems he can get aggressive. Any chance he will ever make it to the show or chances are slim?
Just commented in another thread.
In collegiate sports, if you transfer to a new college, you must sit our one year before you can play sports for the new team. On very very year occasions, you can transfer and play immediately (ie graduating and going on to get your masters at a different college, a scandal breaks out and you want to GTFO, or the coach that recruited dips out before you even get to campus or shortly after). This prevents recruits from transferring willy-nilly anytime they want because there coach is a meanie, or they aren't getting enough playing time, or they want to win a Championship before they graduate and create a powerhouse team.Where?

What was that NCAA transfer year? I haven't seen anybody doing that before, from hockey prospects.
One-time transfer exception: If you transfer from a four-year school, you may be immediately eligible to compete at your new school if you meet ALL the following conditions:
- You are transferring to a Division II or III school, or you are transferring to a Division I school in any sport other than baseball, men's or women's basketball, football (Football Bowl Subdivision) or men’s ice hockey. If you are transferring to a Division I school for any of the previously-listed sports, you may be eligible to compete immediately if you were not recruited by your original school and you have never received an athletics scholarship.
- You are academically and athletically eligible at your previous four-year school.
- You receive a transfer-release agreement from your previous four-year school.
He is always interesting and frankly in game 57 of 82 when Murph is off the deep-end while it is pretty clear Daniels and Mickey are encouraging it to get worse I am laughing. Home broadcasts aren't national broadcasts. What I realized with Murph gone is that while yes at times he makes me angry, by in large he is more of a net positive to my viewings than a negative.
I really liked Eliot in both the booth and intermission.
