The Detroit Red Wings are set to capitalize on a loss of trust in goaltender Jeremy Swayman with the Boston Bruins organization, and insider Elliotte Friedman has revealed his insight.

According to a Boston Bruins analyst Jeremy Swayman was nearly traded last season to the Edmonton Oilers, and things are still trending towards a trade of their number-one netminder this summer.
The Red Wings are ready to make a 'significant upgrade' in goal, as Sportsnet NHL insider Elliotte Friedman and Rinkside reporter Andy Strickland have both revealed that a move is underway in Detroit:
"Detroit, Philadelphia, Edmonton among teams actively looking to significantly upgrade their goaltending."

- Andy Strickland
"Utah, Detroit, Edmonton, San Jose and Philadelphia are looking at goaltending"

- Elliotte Friedman

What a Jeremy Swayman trade to the Detroit Red Wings would look like

Analyzing the blockbuster offer that was on the table between the Bruins and Oilers, the Red Wings could surprisingly acquire Swayman at a very low cost.
The proposed trade saw the Bruins dealing their best defensive prospect, a first round draft pick, and Swayman in exchange for Oilers defenseman Evan Bouchard, and goaltender Stuart Skinner.
While the Red Wings wouldn't be sending a netminder Boston's way, here's what a realistic offer could look like:
Bruins acquire
-Vladimir Tarasenko (50% salary retained)
-Jonatan Berggren
-2nd round draft selection
Red Wings acquire
-Jeremy Swayman (full 8.25M salary)
A trade that would dump some unwanted pieces, but could provide the Bruins veteran leadership in two-time Stanley Cup Champion Tarasenko, and promising youth on Jonatan Berggren, to help them through their retooling process.
If you were in the shoes of Red Wings GM Steve Yzerman, would you accept that deal?
