Today's target: Defensemen Nick Jensen (28, Detroit Red Wings), Ben Lovejoy (34, New Jersey Devils) Why it makes sense: Brian MacLellan has added at least one defenseman at the trade deadline every year as the Caps' general manager and considering the team's defensive struggles this year in addition to their home run acquisition of Michal Kempny for cheap last season, this seems a much more likely scenario than paying big for a big-name target.

Today's target: Forward Gustav Nyquist, 29, Detroit Red Wings Why it makes sense Detroit isn't making the playoffs and it makes no sense for them to hold onto a very productive player who will be an unrestricted free agent in the offseason. Nyquist is currently second on the Red Wings in points with 47. He has top-six skill, but what really jumps out when you watch him play is how opportunistic he is. Continue to Article
