Wings GM Steve Yzerman won't force trades this offseason to speed up rebuilding process

Detroit — Steve Yzerman hasn’t been shy about making trades since becoming the Red Wings’ general manager.

Yzerman has been active since his return to the organization in April 2019, acquiring young players (Robby Fabbri, Jakub Vrana), older players (Marc Staal, Sam Gagner) and shipping out ones who didn’t fit anymore (Anthony Mantha, Andreas Athanasiou) at a brisk pace.

It wouldn’t be surprising to see Yzerman go back into the trade market this summer. But what type of player Yzerman might be looking for, and what the Wings would be willing to give up, narrow down the options.
