The Canadians also have a few really talented young players on their team that could be moved. I'm not sure if Gainey is prepared to trade these guys but I got to imagine a player like Guillaume Latendresse would look really good to a team trying to rebuild.
Dealing Lidstrom in Wings best interest?
I know you may think I am crazy, but as a Wings fan I would love to see them deal Lidstrom for a marquee forward. Obviously they wouldn't deal him to the west, so I am thinking there are only a few teams in the east that would have something to offer. Any way you look at it Lidstrom is no worse than the 2nd best defenseman in the league. If the Wings could get a #1 center I think they would be better off. The only players I think qualify are LeCavalier or Richards, Drury, or a package including Antoine Vermette. This will probaly never happen of course, but I think it's worth thinking about. I do not believe the Wings have what it takes to compete in the playoffs.
