Detroit Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman acquired a veteran defenseman and second-round pick on Saturday.
Yzerman traded for Marc Staal and a draft pick in 2021 from the New York Rangers in exchange for future considerations.
Staal, 33, appeared in 52 games with the Rangers last season, recording two goals and nine assists. He had one goal in three playoff games.
