I'm very curious to see what the Red Wings do. From what I can tell they have pressure on them from both sides as far as trades go. Their top players are 34 (Datsyuk) and 32 (Zetterberg), so I could see the management wanting to pick up a top pairing D to strengthen the team for cup runs in the next two seasons.

On the other hand, it does not seem like they have youth that is going to be able to step in and star as Datsyuk and Zetterberg wind down, so it seems like they would be very reluctant to trade their top prospects, which makes them a mismatch to trade with the Flames.

Edit: On the NBC telecast, Pierre Mcguire just went through Detroit's defensive prospects and was raving about them. So perhaps there is a fit after all with DeKeyser signing and Calgary in need of top prospects at every position.
