Recently Craig Custance of The Athletic asked some NHL executives to evaluate trades submitted by fans,
Red Wings send Anthony Mantha to the Carolina Hurricanes for Jake Bean, a 2021 first-round pick and a 2022 conditional third.
Exec: “It makes sense for both teams for me. I think you’re adding more offense in Carolina with an opportunity to score goals. And Detroit, they have this youth movement going with getting young players. Jake Bean would be a great addition to it. To me, that’s a potential hockey deal.”
Red Wings send Anthony Mantha to the Montreal Canadiens for forward Cole Caufield.
