Detroit Red Wings at NHL trade deadline: Why Steve Yzerman made these four moves

The trade deadline is over for another season, and the Detroit Red Wings once again used it to stockpile for the future.

General manager Steve Yzerman dealt two players who previously featured to be key parts of the rebuild, a forward who clearly had fallen out of favor with the organization, and a role player who made a good impression in his relatively short time with the team.

Yzerman added Jakub Vrana and Oskar Sundqvist to the list of departures via trade on Friday, following deals involving Tyler Bertuzzi and Filip Hronek earlier in the week.
