Gustav Lindstrom – Detroit Red Wings

Given their historic ineptitude this past season, it’s no wonder that the Red Wings provide the least attractive option. For his part though, Lindstrom did get into 16 games this past season as a 21-year old blueliner, so he’s the best we can do for Detroit.

Detroit has a deep collection of defence prospects with Moritz Seider and Jared McIsaac leading the way, so someone like Lindstrom may be expendable to their rebuild. Ottawa has the opposite situation, as the forwards dominate their prospect ranks. If the team believes one of them will get lost in the shuffle as they develop, swapping one of them for a similarly skilled defence prospect could help diversify the team’s talent.
