Detroit — It took until late in the afternoon, but the Red Wings finally pulled off a trade before Monday’s deadline.
They traded forward Tomas Tatar to the Vegas Golden Knights in exchange for a 2018 first-round pick, 2019 second- round pick and 2021 third-round draft pick.
Tatar, 27, signed a four-year contract last summer with an average cap hit for $5.3 million.
Tatar played in 62 games this season with 16 goals and 12 assists (28 points), with a minus-8 plus-minus rating.
The Red Wings were unable to trade defenseman Mike Green, 32, who will be an unrestricted free agent on July 1.
