The Value the Red Wings have at the NHL Trade Deadline

Here is my opinion, and I’ll start with this right away, I don’t believe Jimmy Howard, Gustav Nyquist and Nick Jensen should be on this team come February 26. This season is over and you need to get something for what you have. Enough of this “well, we should re-sign a couple of them” argument. Outside of Howard and the goaltender position, there is plenty of youth trying to crack this lineup, so there is simply no reason 3-4 players should not be traded so these youngsters can get a shot this year to see what they have to work on going into next year.
