Derek Lalonde Hints At What The Red Wings Will Do At The Trade Deadline

«I don't know what I would like to see happen,» Lalonde said. «I think what Steve (general manager Yzerman) has done in his tenure -- obviously, the guys in the room he built -- there's a huge trust from both coaches and players on whatever he does. I'm comfortable coaching with whatever he does or brings us. I know he has the best interest in the micro, which is now, and the macro, which is the big picture going forward. So, I won't lose a ton of sleep. I don't think our guys will either."

«Maybe the most aggressive move of all will be no move at all. I think that would speak volumes on where our group is at,» he said.

«We're always throwing things out. Sometimes specific players,» Lalonde said. «I want it all. I want a $210 million cap. I want a ton of depth at every position. I'm a coach. It's my job to win now. Steve's got to think about the big picture. He has an entire staff that works on this 24 hours a day.»
