Detroit Red Wings acquire goaltender Jeremy Swayman: A major report has just confirmed a move is underway
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
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:
-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?
