Detroit — The selling continues for the Red Wings as the NHL trade deadline heads to its close Friday afternoon.
And this time, it's a significant piece.
The Wings traded forward Tyler Bertuzzi to the Boston Bruins Thursday for a 2024 first-round draft pick (top-10 protected) and a 2025 fourth-round pick. The Wings also retain 50% of Bertuzzi's $5.25 million salary for the remainder of this season ($4.75 million salary cap hit).
Bertuzzi, 28, a 2013 second-round draft choice, was a popular player among Wings fans, evolving into a skillful player who could play with an abrasive edge.
