Trade underway in Detroit and three Red Wings have officially been named
A trade could be underway in Detroit and three Red Wings have been identified as targets in a new report by Heavy.com
The Detroit Red Wings' roster was improved in the offseason, but still, many fans and analysts believe Steve Yzerman should make more additions in the coming months.
Ending the nine-year playoff drought is the only goal in mind for the Wings, and if the team wants to compete in the tough Atlantic Division, management will surely look into completing moves before the deadline.
A new report listed three players who could end up leaving the team to make room for potential trade acquisitions.
Three Players Who Are Expected to Leave The Red Wings Soon
With the NHL General Managers meeting in Detroit over the coming days, all is in place for another wave of trades to happen before the start of training camps.
If that happens, the Wings could be among the teams interested in bolstering their lineup.
If the Wings want to give a chance to a young player like
Nate Danielson at center, Yzerman could be tempted to part ways with Compher's five-year, $5,100,000 AAV deal that runs until 2028.
Considering the veteran's underwhelming 11-goal season last year and his 10-team no-trade clause, it won't be easy.
As for Talbot, the team has a lot of talent in the goalie department. Parting ways with one of them makes sense. Teams looking for a strong number two could be interested, and if that happens, Cossa could finally start a season in the NHL as
John Gibson's number two.But Yzerman is likely to be looking to part ways with Holl and his $3,400,000 AAV deal. He will be a great rental option for a team looking to add blue line depth ahead of the playoffs.
