Gustav Nyquist will serve as a top trade chip for the Red Wings at or before the NHL trade deadline. Nyquist’s performance throughout the season will be the biggest factor determining what the return will be to the Detroit Red Wings for his services.
The best case scenario for the Detroit Red Wings would be, Gus turning back the clock to 2013-14,14-15. Nyquist was finding the back of the net on a regular basis, often scoring in bunches. Gus scored 28 & 27 respectively in those seasons.
Over the last three seasons, Nyquist hasn’t been able to find the back of the net nearly enough.
