Last night, Detroit Hockey Now’s Bob Duff speculated as to whether the Red Wings might be able to make a bid for Vancouver Canucks captain Quinn Hughes.
This morning, The Athletic asked 31 teams’ correspondents whether it could be possible for their respective teams to trade for one Sidney Crosby:
Detroit Red Wings
There’s a slight chance
I’m sure the Red Wings would love to trade for Crosby. He’s certainly getting up there in age, but he’s still an elite offensive player and brings the kind of winning ingredients they need to get over the hump. Detroit also has the prospect capital to make an intriguing offer. But while the Red Wings are closer to competing than Pittsburgh, they still haven’t broken through. Is that a compelling enough situation for Crosby in his final playing years? — Max Bultman
