Detroit Red Wings Complete Trade With New Jersey Devils
The Detroit Red Wings have made a trade with the New Jersey Devils, sending defenseman Tory Dello to New Jersey in exchange for future considerations. This move is seen as a low-risk trade for both teams, as Dello hasn’t been able to establish himself as a key player in the NHL.
Tory Dello’s Background
Dello, 28, has spent the majority of his professional career in the American Hockey League (AHL). He was drafted by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft but has yet to make his NHL debut.
Recent Performance
This season, Dello has played for the Grand Rapids Griffins, the Red Wings’ AHL affiliate. In 27 games, he’s tallied one goal and three assists for four points. While his numbers aren’t impressive, he’s shown some promise as a defensive-minded defenseman.
Trade Implications
The trade is seen as a depth move for both teams. The Red Wings clear a roster spot in Grand Rapids, while the Devils add a veteran presence to their AHL affiliate, the Utica Comets.
Future Considerations
The Red Wings will receive future considerations in return for Dello. This could include a draft pick, a prospect, or another player. The exact details of the trade will be revealed in the coming days.
Reaction from Both Teams
The Red Wings and Devils have yet to release official statements on the trade. However, it’s clear that both teams are looking to shake up their rosters and create opportunities for younger players.
This trade may not be a blockbuster deal, but it’s an interesting move that could have implications for both teams in the future.
