A latest trade proposal by Heavy.com sees the Detroit Red Wings solidify their blue line by acquiring a 980-game veteran from the St. Louis Blues.
The Detroit Red Wings are in a nine-year playoff drought, and it's quite clear that the 'Yzerplan' is running out of time.
Moves are in need to be made to bring this team to the next step, as team captain Dylan Larkin echoed during his season-ending interview clash with general manager Steve Yzerman.
Notable additions this offseason include the signing of James Van Riemsdyk and forward Mason Appleton.
But what about the back end?
The Red Wings were one of the NHL's worst penalty-killing unit teams throughout the league, and the signing of Travis Hamonic two weeks ago will not patch all the holes.

Justin Faulk's experience would be quite valuable for the Red Wings, alongside their current youthful blue line that needs a veteran anchor to guide them in the right direction.
With the proposal seeing Justin Holl head out, alongside a prospect and draft capital, it would be the ideal scenario for Yzerman.
