The Detroit Red Wings have an abundance of defensemen, but a proposed trade for Tony DeAngelo could be a risky move. While DeAngelo has offensive potential, his inconsistent availability is a concern. With just 66 games played over the past two seasons, the Red Wings might be better off addressing their depth issues internally. Instead of trading for DeAngelo, the team could look to offload Erik Gustafsson and acquire a draft pick, which would provide more flexibility and potentially strengthen their future roster. An alternative option is free agent Matt Grzelcyk, who had a breakout season in 2024 and could bring reliability and offensive support. This video explores why the Red Wings should prioritize stability and avoid speculative trades.
