The Red Wings have been linked to one of the NHL's best players in star David Pastrnak of the divisional foe Boston Bruins by Drew Dykowski of Octopus Thrower, could a deal soon happen?
It's been a while since the Red Wings have pulled off a major trade with a divisional foe, with the trade 2 years ago to the day for Alex DeBrincat from the Ottawa Senators for Dominik Kubalik continues to stand out.
Would the Red Wings be willing to take a major swing for the fences in the division once again and try and poach David Pastrnak from the Boston Bruins?
Per Drew Dykowski of Octopus Thrower, the Red Wings could try and snag one of the biggest names in the NHL from the Bruins, who imploded this year and missed the postseason for the 1st time in a decade.
The reality is that the Bruins are a mess from the front office on down. They made some questionable signings in free agency, like Tanner Jeannot, and now have a weird mix of young players and aging veterans that typically does not lead to a successful season in the NHL.
Pastrňák also has a no-move clause, meaning he has to agree to where the Bruins choose to send him. Since he will likely want to go to a contending team, the Red Wings will need to have a strong start to the year to entice Pastrňák to join by the trade deadline.
A lot needs to go Detroit's way to have any hope of bringing in Pastrňák. Yet, it is not impossible, and at the very least, it is fun to imagine the possibility of Pasta in Hockeytown.

Not only did the Bruins trade captain Brad Marchand to the Florida Panthers, but they also unloaded Charlie Coyle, Trent Frederic, and Brandon Carlo at the Trade Deadline.
It's a rough time in Boston right now, and Steve Yzerman could view it as a prime opportunity, the way that a hungry lion views a wounded gazelle in the jungle.
