Recently, Detroit Red Wings writer Max Bultman of The Athletic tabbed Justin Faulk as a potential trade target (subscription required) for the organization, and it makes so much sense. The potential acquisition of Justin Faulk by the Detroit Red Wings would be a significant upgrade to the team’s defensive corps, particularly on the right side.
As a highly experienced and right-handed defenseman, Faulk would be optimally situated on the second pairing, complementing Moritz Seider’s role as the top-pairing blueliner. Faulk’s presence alongside Ben Chiarot would fortify the Red Wings’ top four, providing stability and veteran leadership crucial to a successful playoff push.
