We’re revisiting an article from a few weeks ago which discusses LA Kings d-man Brandt Clarke as a prime Detroit Red Wings trade target, and why it looks silly now.

Not necessarily for Clarke, but a 1st, a 4th, and Buium is a trade package I would entertain for an impact player.
We need a #2 or strong #3 LHD. Someone that either allows Edvinsson to move up to play with Mo, or pushes Chiraot to move down to third pair. Clarke ain't that.
I still like Clarke and think he'll be a fine second pairing dman eventually but ASP is better than him right now and will only continue to get better so we never needed him.
Anyone who was saying we needed to trade for a top 4 RHD, and there were lots, just didn't understand the Wings roster and prospect pipeline. While I didn't think ASP would make it this year, I knew he would by next season. He's a top 4 RHD, he projected as a top 4 RHD.. there was just no reason to give up assets to plug a hole for a season. However, what we did need and still do need, is a top 4 LHD. Someone to either play with Seider, or with ASP so Edvinsson can play with Seider. Unless Buium or Wallinder exceeds expectations, the Wings still don't have a top 4 LHD in the system. Buium has potential, though. He might surprise some people when he gets to Detroit.
Unless a complete stud is available at a reasonable price… our depth in GR would be better than anyone we can realistically trade for.
JBD has been solid
Yeah. We need a new #2 we never should have traded Wallman.
The way you end videos makes me want to kick babies
Idk why Gustafson was sent down I think he would have been a better pairing with seider on the 1st pair anyway … but can’t complain to much wings looking great !!! LGRW 🔥🔥🔥
