BREAKING: Red Wings Acquire Veteran Defenseman
The Detroit Red Wings have already made one splash this summer when they acquired Alex DeBrincat from the Ottawa Senators, and now they've made another big trade.
A veteran blue liner
According to a report, the Wings have now landed veteran Jeff Petry from the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for Gustav Lindstrom and a 2025 fifth-round pick.
At 35-years old, Petry will be a veteran presence on the blue line for Detroit as they look to climb back into the playoffs for the first time in over seven seasons with their talented young core.
A good presence
In 2022-23, Petry tallied 5 goals and 31 points for the Pittsburgh Penguins, and will now look to help the Red Wings break their playoff drought after being traded just a week ago to Montreal.
This is a deal that makes sense for both parties, and if the Red Wings can see significant improvements from their young core, this could be a team to watch out for.
