Detroit Red Wings trade with Nashville Predators
Max Bultman of The Athletic made the initial report that the Red Wings were making a trade with the Predators.
Bottom Line: Better late than never
Heading into the draft, there was speculation that the Red Wings would pair one of their second-round picks along with the No. 17 overall pick to acquire Alex DeBrincat from the Ottawa Senators. That trade obviously did not happen, and instead, Steve Yzerman traded the No. 43 pick to the Predators in exchange for No. 47 and No. 147.
