As expected, the Red Wings are dealing veteran defenseman Nick Leddy. The 31-year-old is off to St. Louis in exchange for Oskar Sundqvist, Jake Walman, and a 2nd round pick in 2023:
We knew that Leddy was trade bound after sitting the last couple of games. The Red Wings essentially get two bodies who can be slated into an NHL lineup, and they recoup the 2nd round pick that helped get them Leddy.
The Red Wings acquired Leddy from the New York Islanders following the 20-21 season. They traded a 2nd round pick in the 2021 Draft, and veteran forward Richard Panik.
