The market has been stale for the most part in recent days. Since the Toronto Maple Leafs made a move to acquire defenseman Jake Muzzin things have quieted down. That move, in particular, I expected to launch the trade world into motion. The Detroit Red Wings have a handful of trade candidates and with just a little over a week until “deadline day” it’s time for Ken Holland to start working the phones.
Between Jimmy Howard and Gustav Nyquist, the Detroit Red Wings have a couple of players who could fetch the riches of a first round pick in return.
