The Detroit Red Wings are staying busy ahead of the NHL trade deadline, moving forward Tyler Bertuzzi to the Boston Bruins on Thursday in exchange for a 2024 first-round draft choice and a 2025 fourth-round pick.
The first-round choice is top-10 protected. Detroit will also retain 50% of Bertuzzi's $4.75 million cap hit in the deal.
Bertuzzi has four goals and 14 points in 29 games for the Red Wings this season and has been one of the club's top offensive pieces in recent seasons. The 28-year-old is a pending unrestricted free agent and was rumored to be on the trade block, until Detroit began improving on the ice through February.
