On Saturday night during game 5 of the Cup Final, Sportsnet's Damien Cox poked the Red Wings beehive with a note about the Red Wings' willingness to trade some assets at or before this year's draft.
At deadline, DET unwilling to move either first round pick or prospect Anthony Mantha. Now willing to deal either or both.

Cox followed it up with a bit of talk about Dion Phaneuf, the oft-rumored target for the Red Wings who, according to Elliotte Friedman, is looking for "a bit of mean" in a physical defenseman to play with Nik Kronwall.
