I thought it might be worthwhile to have a single thread for any rumors or speculation surrounding Detroit's trade deadline activity. For starters, here's a recent TSN article:
Countdown to TradeCentre: Big move for the Bolts? - Article - TSN
"Let's start with Mike Green who right now isn't on the market because the Detroit Red Wings have not given up on their season just yet," LeBrun said. "But at some point in time the math will catch up and they'll have to go through Green's people at Newport Sports. He's got a full no-trade clause. For a right-handed power-play guy, a lot of teams are going to line up. He's got a $6-million cap hit that the Wings will eat a bunch of that to make a trade happen. One team I think you have to keep an eye on is Tampa Bay, who I think would like an upgrade in their Top 4. Although again they haven't talked to anyone yet."
(and, further on)
"Time to Sell?
John Niyo of The Detroit News believes Red Wings general manager Ken Holland should be shopping several of the team's veterans, - not just Green.
"While Green will draw the most interest, Niyo writes Gustav Nyquist, Tomas Tatar, Tervor Daley and Jimmy Howard should also be placed on the trade block by Holland as the team looks to stockpile draft picks and prospects.
"Howard, who has outstarted Petr Mrazek 36-13 this season, owns a .914 save percentage and a 2.73 goals-against average. While the list of contenders looking for a starting goaltender will be short, Niyo points to the Islanders and Blackhawks as two teams who could have interest.
Howard is signed through next season at a $5.3 million cap hit."
