Detroit – Evidently Ken Holland wants to surround himself with some of his former players.
The former Red Wings general manager, and current Edmonton GM, worked out another trade with Wings GM Steve Yzerman Monday before the deadline.
The Wings sent forward Andreas Athanasiou and forward Ryan Kuffner to the Oilers for two second-round draft picks, one in 2020 and one in 2021. The Wings also acquired center Sam Gagner and his expiring contract, which has a $3.
