Red Wings trade candidates: Will they stay or go? | MLive

Ken Holland should trade them all... buuuuut we know that won’t happen.

The Red Wings absolutely need to move Gus Nyquist and should probably trade Jimmy Howard too. Those two players are probably the most valuable trade chips. If some team offers up a nice asset or two for Trevor Daley, Nick Jensen or Luke Glendening... trade them too.

What about Niklas Kronwall? My heart says he should retire in Detroit, but my head says I’d trade him in a heartbeat for a first round pick. With that said, I don’t think anyone is trading a first round pick for Kronwall.
