The Red Wings are acquiring a second-round pick in the 2021 NHL Draft and defenseman Marc Staal in a trade with the New York Rangers. In return, the Red Wings are giving up future considerations:
The Red Wings have a glut of cap space to fill, so in this deal, they soak up a chunk of cap for the New York Rangers, and in return, the Rangers give up a future 2nd round draft pick. Detroit is a team in the thick of a rebuild, and Steve Yzerman is clearly in the mindset of acquiring as many draft picks as possible.
