In Red Wings Land

Red Wings mailbag: Who will draw interest at trade deadline? – MLive

They should be able to move at least one – Nick Leddy. He hasn’t played well enough offensively or defensively (one goal, 11 points, team-worst minus-21 rating), but he is a veteran, mobile, puck-moving defenseman with ample postseason experience who would draw interest from a playoff contending club.

The Red Wings traded a second-round pick to the New York Islanders for Leddy. Could they get one back for him? Probably not, but they’ll take what they can get for a player they aren’t going to re-sign.

Namestnikov, Staal, Greiss and others are given at least passing mention.  Khan also answers a question about Berggren perhaps getting a look (it’s not a very good answer from a person who is supposed to have access to the locker room where he’s allowed to ask the kind of questions he doesn’t know the answers to).

But I think people have to start with their friends and their family and that’s where it comes from. It’s not okay. It’s just not okay. It’s a bad look. It’s a bad look for the league, but fans, too. We need fans and everybody. We need everybody to make this feel like a place where everyone feels comfortable.
