Detroit Red Wings trade targets: Trevor Zegras and $49.7M forward proposed (Credits: IMAGN)
The Detroit Red Wings fired coach Derek Lalonde and named Todd McLellan as his replacement on Thursday. In his column for The Athletic on Thursday, NHL beat writer Max Bultman discussed the Wings’ struggles this season. He suggested the Wings could consider trading for young forwards like Trevor Zegras from Anaheim Ducks or Dylan Cozens from Buffalo Sabres.
"So while Detroit is making changes, is there a young forward it can trade for whose contributions can come sooner?" Bultman wrote. "Trevor Zegras in Anaheim or Dylan Cozens in Buffalo would fit the bill as young players who have already proven they can hit 60-point offense in the NHL, but have seen their production dip of late."
