from Ted Kulfan of the Detroit News,
Here are players who are most likely to be available by the Red Wings at the trade deadline, in alphabetical order:
- Andreas Athanasiou: A potential restricted free agent this summer, Athanasiou has fuve goals and 19 points in 36 games, with a minus-35 plus-minus rating. Those stats pretty much tell you how Athanasiou’s season as gone. His value might not be nearly what it could be, but if Athanasiou returns from injury in the next week or two and gets on a roll, he could be an intriguing acquisition for someone. Athanasiou also would likely fetch Yzerman the best trade package that any available Wings player could get back.
- Trevor Daley: The veteran defenseman is an unrestricted free agent on July 1, but given his injury history the last two seasons, it’s unlikely teams will be aggressively calling these next several weeks. Daley, 36, reportedly has asked Yzerman to be traded, and two teams Daley played with before — Pittsburgh, Dallas — could have mild interest. That is, if Daley can stay healthy for a period of time. He’s only played 26 games this season.
