What Would a Red Wings-Chicago Blackhawks Trade Package Look Like?
The Detroit Red Wings currently have assets and prospects coming out of every nook and crease you can find. I mean, they have so many talented prospects that it’s hard to believe just how good this team could one day be. But in the mean time, they have to find ways to win games. Otherwise, the fan base will never be pleased.
Finding a balance between youth and veterans is what makes a good organization good. Unless, and this is the only exception, you go all in on star youth- a player like Alex DeBrincat. So, if that’s the way the Red Wings wanted to go, what would a trade package look like for DeBrincat?
This si something I just mocked up. So, my thoughts on the trade:
The Red Wings would be getting another superstar winger that could line up on the top line alongside Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond. In my opinion, that would be the best option for the Wings. So, what justifies what I chose to give up to get DeBrincat. Well, I’ll brake it down.
The Red Wings have a top 10 pick this year which would justify quite a bit. But, DeBrincat is a proven star and that holds more value than a simple draft pick. That’s where the second-rounder next year comes into play. The pick I would be giving up is the Red Wings second-rounder they received from the St. Louis Blues. So, they would still have a second-rounder for next year.
As far as throwing in Jonatan Berggren, that has more to do with them wanting to replace DeBrincat with a younger, cheaper version and I feel that Berggren will have to be apart of the trade if they wanted to acquire DeBrincat. So, what do you think? Would you do this trade?
