from Ted Kulfan of the Detroit News,
Here are some potential unrestricted free agent defensemen who could interest the Wings:
Alex Pietrangelo, St. Louis
2019-20 stats: 16 goals, 36 assists, 52 pointsCap hit: $6.5 million
Analysis: Pietrangelo, 30, is one of the premier defensemen in the NHL and is the Blues’ captain. Yes, St. Louis will have some cap issues, but it’s difficult to imagine these two sides parting.
Torey Krug, Boston
2019-20 stats: Nine goals, 40 assists, 49 pointsCap hit: $5.25 million
Analysis: Krug was coached in junior hockey by Wings’ coach Jeff Blashill, and the Livonia native starred at Michigan State. So, there’s definitely some local connections. But Krug has become a key cog in the Bruins’ roster, a gr owing leader, and the Bruins do have some available cap space.
