The Detroit Red Wings made a minor trade Monday, shipping out little-used forward Scott Wilson in order to gain roster flexibility.
The Wings acquired a fifth-round pick in the 2019 NHL entry draft from the Buffalo Sabres. The Wings acquired Wilson and a 3rd-round draft pick in 2018 in October in the trade that sent Riley Sheahan and a 2018 fifth-round pick to Pittsburgh. So basically, the Wings end up having flipped Sheahan for a third-round pick in 2018. Sheahan has one goal in 19 games with the Penguins.
