NHL trade deadline updates: Follow along with Detroit Red Wings at trade deadline

The NHL trade deadline is at 3 p.m. and the Detroit Red Wings are sellers again.

Over the weekend, general manager Steve Yzerman swung multiple deals that yielded mid-round picks. Defenseman Jon Merrill was traded to the Montreal Canadiens for a fifth-round pick in 2021 and minor-leaguer Hayden Verbeek. (His uncle is Wings assistant general manager Pat Verbeek.)

Defenseman Patrik Nemeth was traded to the Colorado Avalanche for a fourth-round pick in 2022.

Yzerman was also part of a three-team trade involving the Columbus Blue Jackets and Tampa Bay Lightning, gaining a fourth-round pick in 2021.
