Detroit Red Wings Executive VP and GM Steve Yzerman addresses the media about the trade deadline at Little Caesars Arena, Monday, Feb. 24, 2020 The Detroit News
Detroit — At this stage in an historically dreadful season, small victories are all you can expect. The Red Wings will take them, however small they may seem.
Steve Yzerman wasn’t touting anything Monday, as the Wings finished trade-deadline day with a handful of picks — a couple second-rounders and a fourth-rounder — while giving up one-time prime prospect Andreas Athanasiou. Yzerman sounded satisfied, all things considered, and he should be, despite the price.
