Matt Larkin of The Hockey News: The Detroit Red Wings didn’t have good enough assets at the trade deadline to get them an extra first-round pick, but they were able to land a couple of seconds.
$11 million comes off the books with pending UFAs Jonathan Ericsson and Trevor Daley and goalie Jimmy Howard. They have around $35 million in cap space if the next season’s cap stays flat with 11 players under contract. Tyler Bertuzzi and Robby Fabbri are RFAs and there will be plenty of space after they are re-signed.
