Hall of Famer Jim Devellano, architect of the Islanders and Red Wings dynasties, joins Ozzy and Keats to go inside the legendary 1989 draft that landed Lidstrom, Fedorov and Konstantinov, including the spy-novel effort to get Fedorov out of the Soviet Union. He also shares how Detroit ended up with Steve Yzerman, his take on the Red Wings’ rebuild and the Dylan Larkin trade request, and why he’s to blame for Chris Osgood.
