John Niyo of the Detroit News: The Red Wings will be looking to acquire more future assets leading up to the trade deadline. They will join the likes of Buffalo Sabres, Ottawa Senators, Arizona Coyotes and Vancouver Canucks as teams looking to sell.
Defenseman Mike Green will be a sought after rental at the deadline. He does have a full no-trade clause, so he will have some control over where he ends up. The right-handed defenseman carries a $6 million cap hit and could land the Wings a first-round pick.
The Wings could also shop defenseman Trevor Daley and forwards Gustav Nyquist and Tomas Tatar.
