Yzerman targets trade market for Red Wings scoring upgrades
Summary

Steve Yzerman is focused on the trade market as the Red Wings seek to bolster their scoring options this offseason. With a limited free-agent pool, Detroit is exploring trades to find an impactful forward.

Additionally, there is mutual interest between the Red Wings and Patrick Kane for a potential return, which could influence their strategy in addressing scoring needs. Yzerman must weigh his options carefully as he plans the team's next moves.
