Detroit already has 9 d-men next year that were on NHL rosters last year (1st pair DeKeyser, Hronek 2nd pair Nemeth, Stecher 3rd pair Staal, Merrill along with healthy scratch: Biega [plus 2019 1st rounder Moritz Seider and 2017 2nd rounder Gustav Lindstrom who are going to play through March in the Swedish Elite League]. Plus a NHL ready prospect like 2016 1st rounder Dennis Cholowski.)
They won't be trading for a d-man even if they get a sweetner...there simply is no room.
