Due to this, the veteran forward's name floated around the rumor mill at the deadline, but a deal did not come to fruition. However, it's very likely the Red Wings will be open to dealing him in the summer, and there could be interest because of his past success. In 80 games this season, he had 11 goals and 33 points.Jonatan Berggren Berggren is another Red Wings forward who could find a new home this offseason. The 24-year-old winger has been the subject of trade rumors in the past and could use a change of scenery at this point. In 75 games this season, the 2018 second-round pick recorded 12 goals, 24 points, and a minus-13 rating. Erik Gustafsson Gustafsson could be a player who the Red Wings look to move on from this summer.
