It was the Red Wings’ final game before Friday’s 3 p.m. deadline. They could use a second-line forward, preferably a center, and a defenseman, but general manager Steve Yzerman must consider whether it’s worth relinquishing assets like a high draft pick or a decent prospect, especially if it’s for a short-term upgrade.

The Red Wings' loss to Utah Thursday was a major missed opportunity, and puts GM Steve Yzerman in a tricky spot at Friday's trade deadline.
