The Red Wings were inundated with questions Friday: Have they called Mats Sundin? Would they like Sundin? Have they petitioned general manager Ken Holland about Sundin?
With the NHL trade deadline Tuesday, rumors swirl with such an undertow even a game-focused team cannot escape the maelstrom. A report out of Toronto claimed all the Wings have prodded Holland to pursue Sundin, the Leafs captain who could be moved. Henrik Zetterberg echoed several teammates when this theory was put to him by laughing it off.
The Wings are looking for a top-six forward and a veteran defenseman (but then so are half the teams in the NHL), and certainly Sundin would be a great addition because of his size and clutch play. But even if Sundin agrees to waive his no-trade clause and picks Detroit as a desirable destination, it’s doubtful the Wings would offer what Toronto would need to sell such a trade to its fans.
The Wings also are interested in Atlanta’s Marian Hossa, but again, only for the right price.
