Hope is not a strategy.
Jeff Marek and Elliotte Friedman were joined by Doug MacLean on the latest episode of their podcast. It’s a good listen for hockey fans, but one tidbit dropped by MacLean is quite interesting for Red Wings fans. MacLean claims that during his time with the Detroit organization, the Wings were in talks to acquire former rival Peter Forsberg in a 3-way trade back in 1992.
Apparently, according to MacLean, the basis for the deal would’ve seen Sergei Fedorov sent to the Quebec Nordiques, Eric Lindros would’ve still ended up with the Flyers and Forsberg would’ve come to Hockeytown.
