DALLAS – The league’s annual trade deadline day Monday was a quiet one for the Red Wings, who chose to stand pat with their current roster in the waning weeks of the regular season.
Detroit did trade veteran defenseman Jakub Kindl to Florida for a sixth-round draft pick, but that move went down Saturday.
Basically, Holland said he was uninterested in losing future first- or second-round picks to acquire a veteran player who will be an unrestricted free agent in the summer.
After the 3 p.m. EST deadline passed, Wings general manager met with members of the Detroit media at the team’s hotel.
