As the 2025-26 NHL season progresses, the Detroit Red Wings have shown they might be sticking around this season. Now 7th in the NHL standings, they sit second in the Atlantic Division. That could mean trades ahead of the deadline, both with players going out and upgrades coming in.<\/p>\n

The Hockey Writers\u2019 Devin Little recently looked<\/a> at the potential trade candidates.<\/p>\n

Little identifies Jonatan Berggren<\/a> as a prime candidate for a move. Despite four points in six games this season, Berggren has struggled to secure a consistent role in Detroit. Little notes that \u201che doesn\u2019t do enough away from the puck to warrant a higher role, and he doesn\u2019t produce enough in his limited role to compensate,\u201d suggesting a fresh start elsewhere could benefit both player and team.<\/p>\n

\"\"Jonatan Berggren might be a trade option for the Red Wings<\/p>\n

On the blue line, veteran Erik Gustafsson<\/a> presents another movable asset. Currently with the AHL\u2019s Grand Rapids Griffins, Gustafsson offers power-play expertise and offensive skills, but with a $2 million cap hit and younger defenders like Axel Sandin Pellikka<\/a> emerging, Detroit may look to trade him for at least a late draft pick.<\/p>\n

Finally, Michael Rasmussen<\/a>, a bottom-six forward with size and physical tools, is also highlighted. Little emphasizes that \u201cNHL GMs covet players with his size,\u201d making him attractive for teams seeking depth and toughness.<\/p>\n

Who Might The Red Wings Go After In Trade?<\/p>\n

As for trade targets, Little mentions Yegor Chinakhov<\/a>, Lian Bichsel<\/a>, and Alexis Lafreni\u00e8re<\/a> as intriguing options. Chinakhov and Lafreni\u00e8re could offer a change-of-scenery boost in Detroit, while Bichsel could bolster the Wings\u2019 defensive corps if the Stars are open to a deal.<\/p>\n

Overall, Little\u2019s post provides some intriguing ideas. Some will make you stop and wonder if these are deals GM Steve Yzerman<\/a> might actually consider if the options were to present themselves. <\/p>\n
