Similar to the Boston Bruins, the Detroit Red Wings are also in need of help down the middle, and two players have emerged as candidates for the organization.
Throughout this off-season, many Boston Bruins players have surfaced as trade candidates.
Of those players, some of the more talked about ones have been Pavel Zacha and Casey Mittelstadt.
After the NHL trade deadline, the Bruins entered a retool, and they are continuing to try and do so.
With that being said, both Zacha and Mittelstadt are on the trade block for the Bruins.
Zacha has been playing 1st-2nd line over his time spent with the Boston Bruins.
While Mittelstadt was acquired by the Boston Bruins during the NHL trade deadline in a trade with the Colorado Avalanche.
Zacha and Mittelstadt both make sense
For a team like the Red Wings, who are lacking depth down the middle, both of them could be a difference maker on their 2nd line, and could help them make a run for the playoffs.
Reporting around the #NHLBruins has Pavel Zacha and Casey Mittelstadt as potential trade targets. Either would be an upgrade for the #Canucks at 2C.
Casey Mittelstadt would not be their first option, but he does have a solid cap hit for a player with some upside, and the fact that he is only 26-years-old is a bonus as well.
Mittelstadt carries a $5.75 million AAV, and had a total of 15 goals, 25 assists for 40 points in 63 games split between the Boston Bruins and Colorado Avalanche.
Zacha would make more sense as he is a proven veteran who could slot into their 1st or 2nd line and make an immediate impact.
