The Detroit Red Wings and the Minnesota Wild could become trade partners after a report confirmed exactly what Bill Guerin wants to add to his lineup.
Since the season started, the Detroit Red Wings have been involved in multiple trade rumors. They have a surplus at a few positions.
They even buried Erik Gustafsson's and Justin Holl's contracts in the AHL, suggesting they could consider accepting a smaller return for them.
The 25-year-old forward has struggled to find his identity with the Red Wings, and a fresh start could help him find consistency.
According to a new report from Daily Faceoff, the Minnesota Wild could be exploring the market for a middle-six forward, which might eventually align with what the Red Wings are looking to move.
Red Wings Emerge As Potential Trade Partners For The Wild Amid Rough Start In Minnesota
Although reports suggest the Wild are likely to target a bigger-picture player who could have an impact on the team ahead of the playoffs, they could also explore more affordable depth options as the season progresses.
The start of the season hasn't been going well for the Wild so far, currently standing at seventh in the Central Division with a 3-6-3 record.
At this point, it's much too early to throw in the towel in Minnesota, especially with all the talent on the team.
Instead of taking the high road, going after a player like Berggren-a talented player who wouldn't cost too much due to his struggles and has the potential to become a great middle-six forward-could be interesting for the Wild.
However, don't be surprised to see Guerin going after bigger names, such as Daily Faceoff's Nazem Kadri, Casey Mittelstadt, or Pavel Zacha.
