Three weeks away from the NHL trade deadline, there’s much to be determined for the Detroit Red Wings.
How many teams will be sellers leading up to Feb. 25, and how many will be buyers? What interest among the latter group is there in pending unrestricted free agents Jimmy Howard and Gustav Nyquist? Are the Wings better off keeping both and re-signing them?
Those are issues general manager Ken Holland needs to determine as he balances rebuilding the team with putting a competitive product on the ice.
