What do we do at 2C

Team: 2020-21 Detroit Red Wings

Initial Creation Date: Sep. 3, 2020

Published: Sep. 3, 2020

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

So obviously the Red Wings are still going to be bad next year but we still need to fill in some holes unless we want to be more of a joke than we were last year. One of the holes that sticks out to me is 2C. AA filled that role for most of last season but he was traded away. That leaves us with Filppula as our 2nd best centre on the roster. I doubt that any free agents that would be good enough to fill that role would be willing to sign in Detroit so that would force us to explore the trade market. Obviously we aren't going to break the bank since we're still bad but who are some realistic targets that we could get for maybe a late 2nd or 3rd? Especially guys that would have their value diminished by being on a bad contract, cap-strapped team, coming of a bad year, etc.

Note: Don't comment on the team because I didn't do anything with it.

Edit: Also, trading Mantha for Domi is NOT the answer
