Red Wings: Norris Duo Loading? Hughes Rumors, Seider MVP

The Quinn Hughes smoke is turning into real fire.

In this episode of Red Wings Rant, we break down Elliotte Friedman’s latest reporting that Detroit and Vancouver have talked — and that if the Canucks decide to move Hughes, the Red Wings are one of the few teams with the assets to get him.

We also walk through Harman Dayal’s fascinating new piece in The Athletic, detailing why Detroit is uniquely positioned to extend Hughes long-term thanks to CBA timing, Michigan ties, and a massive financial advantage over all other suitors — especially New Jersey.

Then we pivot to Moritz Seider, who isn’t just climbing the Norris rankings…
According to Prashanth Iyer, Seider belongs in the early Hart Trophy conversation. We break down his elite impacts, wild GAR numbers, Detroit’s disastrous play without him, and why he may be the most valuable defenseman to his team in the league.

Plus:

• What last night’s win over Vancouver really means?
• How should we fare the rest of the West Coast Trip?
• How does Detroit stack up in the standings heading into its next stretch?
• What is different about December vs November and October? And yes… We’ll talk about the dream scenario:

A Seider–Hughes, Norris-caliber top pair in Detroit.
