NATE THE GREAT - Red Wings Lead the Atlantic! - Nov. 19th, 2025

Is it time to see what Sebastian Cossa can do in Detroit? Should Alex DeBrincat be on Team USA's Olympic roster? Are Pavel Mintyukov or Quinn Hughes realistic trade options for Steve Yzerman?

We then take a look at Moritz Seider both by the eye test and the numbers this season, whether he deserves serious Norris Trophy consideration behind Cale Makar and alongside players like Morrissey, Werenski, Heiskanen, and others, how he's helped Simon Edvinsson excel, and whether MVP voting is crazy to think about (29:20).
