Detroit Red Wings hope to bank picks, prospects at NHL trade deadline

Detroit Red Wings Luke Witkowski, Anthony Mantha, Petr Mrazek and coach Jeff Blashill answer questions Saturday, Feb. 17 at Bridgestone Arena.

The NHL trade deadline is Feb. 26, and the Detroit Red Wings are looking to be sellers.

“I’m looking to the future,” general manager Ken Holland said Monday. “I’m working the phones to see what’s out there that makes sense for us.”

The Wings are rebuilding, and want to acquire early round draft picks and high-end prospects. The Wings already have nine picks in the 2018 draft, including two picks each in rounds two and three.
