Detroit Red Wings General Manager Steve Yzerman worked the phones most of Monday, trying to find the right deal before the NHL Trade Deadline.
It came down to the final moments but Yzerman made the day’s biggest deal by trading Anthony Mantha to the Washington Capitals for forwards Richard Panik, Jakub Vrana, a 2021 first-round pick, and a 2022 second-round pick.
