Red Wings mailbag: Hot-stove chatter hits fever pitch

Detroit – The trade deadline must be getting closer.

That is easy to figure out because, lately, there have been numerous suggestions, proposals, recommendations and substantial pleading in the mailbox for just about every Red Wings player to be traded.

Anywhere. And for anybody.

This time of year is always fun, but also a bit perplexing.

Sure, it’s fun to conjure potential trades, some of which could come close to happening.

But, fans have to be realistic.

Consider the opposing side, the other team potentially you’re dealing with.

Look, they may or may not want Jonathan Ericsson or Trevor Daley, or as Pete in Wyandotte so creatively composed the trade possibility, Tomas Tatar (something about Tatar’s lack of scoring).
