Detroit Red Wing Trade Deadline Moves?

Is this going to be the newest Wing after the trade deadline?
As we get closer and closer to the February 28th trade deadline more and more rumors come out about all kinds of different trade possibilities.  One rumor that I have heard more and more of for the past few weeks is the Red Wings being interested in Atlanta Thrasher defenseman Zach Bogosian.  The most recent rumor I have heard is saying that the Thrashers would want either Jakub Kindl, Jonathan Ericsson, or Jiri Hudler along with a high draft pick in return from the Wings.  I would be more then happy to give them Ericsson and a 1st round pick for Bogosian.  Bogosian was the third pick in the 2008 draft.  He is a young kid with a ton of potential.  He could be a top line defensemen for years to come.  I would be willing to give up Ericsson because he is in the final year of his contract and I don't feel like he has development as much as everyone thought he would.  Also out of the three players it is reported the Thrashers would be looking at I believe that he has the least amount of upside.
Another player who's name is hot on the rumor mill is Brad Richards.  I haven't heard any rumors of him coming to the Wings but I was thinking what if they decided that they want to make a big move at the deadline and go after him.  I think a good package the Wings could put together would be Franzen, Filppula, Eaves and first round pick.  This is a move that would work with the Wings current cap situation.  I don't see anything like this move actually happening and haven't heard anything about it, but was just wondering if the Wings offered this to the Stars if they would accept.  Let me know if you think the Wings should offer this trade in the comments.
