Best bet for Detroit Red Wings? Start selling, then start losing

If the offers are good, expect the Detroit Red Wings to start selling – and then start losing.

A week ahead of the March 1 trade deadline, the Wings appear unlikely to make the playoffs for the first time since 1990. Inspiring weekend victories against Washington and Pittsburgh segued into a loss against the New York Islanders, and now the Wings are idle for six days because of their bye break. By the time they resume playing Tuesday, they will have sunk further in the standings.
