Bob Duff: New Defenseman Bowey Brings Offensive Upside, Youth Madison Bowey, the newest Detroit Red Wing, is 23, five years younger than Nick Jensen, the man he was traded for on Friday.

apparently robbie kraft brings offensive upside but not the youth part

he's a horrible skater, that's probably his biggest knock. but he does have a highly gifted offensive skillset that never translated to the NHL. I think we've seen what we will from him though. 3rd pairing guy at best.

Zadina to DET

Eh that's fine the trade was about the 2nd round pick. Sounds like he was just to even out the contracts. Wouldn't be surprised if he is still our 7th D and next year on waivers.

So we traded a third pairing D and a 5th for a younger/cheaper third pairing D and a 2nd

I don't think Bowey is an NHL defenseman. He may be one day.
