The Detroit Red Wings just beat the Nashville Predators 4-2 — but the real story isn’t the win.
It’s what comes next.
With 21 games left, the Eastern Conference is jammed. Buffalo, Montreal, Tampa… everyone is in it. Todd McLellan just called out players for being “just jerseys.” Lucas Raymond hits a franchise milestone. John Gibson leaves with a stinger. And now… it’s Trade Deadline Week.
Steve Yzerman has the assets. The prospects. The cap flexibility.
The question is simple: Will he finally push the chips in?
We break down potential targets like Vincent Trocheck, Robert Thomas, Tyler Myers, Rasmus Ristolainen, and more — and what it would cost.
Is this the year Detroit takes the next step? Or are we headed for another March collapse?
This is Red Alert.
