It’s crazy to think the trade deadline is barely just a week away and it puts the Detroit Red Wings squarely in the seller’s seat as it inches closer. Names like Bobby Ryan, Luke Glendening, Jonathan Bernier, Marc Staal, and even Anthony Mantha have been mentioned as possible pieces moved soon enough.
But the key is patience. Every Red Wings fan has a hope that this rebuild will end sooner rather than later, but Steve Yzerman asked for the time and patience to get it done correctly.
