According to TSN, and Travis Yost, the Red Wings are apparently shopping defenseman Brendan Smith:
An interesting name on the trade block: Detroit defender Brendan Smith. Continues to be shopped.

TSN has Smith ranked 21st in terms of "trade bait" on their trade centre broadcast. Smith only has 13 points this season, but is an unadulterated analytics darling. The question begs to be asked, why is a team who is so weak on defense willing to part with one of their best defenders?
