This is an opportune time for the Detroit Red Wings general manager, Steve Yzerman, who could benefit from a trade with the Rangers.<\/p>\n<p>Failing to make a deal with Artemi Panarin, another top-six center, is the next trade target of the Red Wings, Vincent Trocheck.<\/p>\n<p>The Kings attempted to bring Trocheck to Los Angeles with Artemi Panarin, but he prefers to remain in the Eastern Conference.<\/p>\n<p>NHL Insider Elliotte Friedman named the Red Wings as the team that is a suitor for the 32-year-old center. Instead of this being just a rumor, this is the Red Wings restating their interest after failing to sign him before he became a Blueshirt on Broadway.<\/p>\n<p>Why the Detroit Red Wings are the perfect landing spot for Vincent Trocheck<\/p>\n<p>The Red Wings would be a perfect landing spot for the gritty second-line center, who&#8217;d line up behind Dylan Larkin. His arrival in Detroit would add to the depth in the top six.<\/p>\n<p>Digging into the prospect pipeline and numerous draft assets, the Red Wings could trade for the gritty forward who is what they need, a player with term left on his deal, 3 years with a $5.625 million average annual value.<\/p>\n<p>He could fit under the Red Wings&#8217; generous cap space, as Yzerman has managed it meticulously throughout his tenure as GM.<\/p>\n<p>While the Rangers need high-end prospects, this deal could help both teams achieve their goals. Trocheck could help push for the playoffs, and the Rangers get younger.<\/p>\n<p>Though one obstacle for the Red Wings to overcome will be his 12-team no-trade list, giving him a choice of where he goes. It could mean that Hockeytown is a no-go for Trocheck.<\/p>\n<p>Previously on Detroit Hockey Insider<\/p>\n<p>POLL<\/p>\n<p>14 HOURS AGO|84 ANSWERS<\/p>\n<p>Elliotte Friedman weighs in on Vincent Trochek heading to the Detroit Red Wings reports<\/p>\n<p>Do you believe NHL Insider Elliotte Friedman is right about forward Vincent Trocheck of the New York Rangers heading to the Detroit Red Wings?<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; &#13; &#13; Photo credit: Dan Hamilton-Imagn Images NHL Insider Elliotte Friedman weighs in on a center, Vincent&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":451128,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5101],"tags":[599,93,5137,5,181,35,4,3358,5138,4212,3042],"class_list":{"0":"post-451127","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-detroit-red-wings","8":"tag-detroit","9":"tag-detroit-red-wings","10":"tag-detroitredwings","11":"tag-hockey","12":"tag-hockey-news","13":"tag-new-york-rangers","14":"tag-nhl","15":"tag-red-wings","16":"tag-redwings","17":"tag-trade-rumors","18":"tag-vincent-trocheck"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116034598145891651","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/451127","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=451127"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/451127\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/451128"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=451127"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=451127"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=451127"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
