In this week's episode of The Hockey Writers Grind Line, usual grinder Devin Little is joined by the other half of our pool of Red Wings writers at THW, Tony Wolak and Brian Oldani. Together, they discuss how long it will take for the Red Wings to get back into the playoffs, what type of deal they would prefer for Filip Zadina, a perceived lack of size in the lineup, and the team's overall defensive issues before wrapping up by honoring a bet they lost with the crew over at Blackhawks Banter.
