While the Detroit Red Wings remain committed to using their 15th overall selection in the 2024 NHL Draft later this week, they've gotten ahead of the proceedings by making a pre-Draft trade.
They've traded Andrew Gibson to the Nashville Predators in exchange for a 2nd round pick in the 2024 NHL Draft (originally Tampa’s) and forward Jesse Kiiskinen:
Gibson was drafted by Detroit in the second round (42nd overall) of the 2023 NHL Draft.
Via theofficial press release:
"Gibson, 19 (2/13/05), established OHL career highs in games played (68), goals (12), assists (32) and points (44) with the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds in 2023-24, helping his team reach the second round of the postseason before falling to Saginaw. Gibson led the Greyhounds and was seventh among all OHL defensemen in plus-minus (+36); he also was second among team blueliners in goals and assists and was third in points. The 6-foot-3, 196-pound native of Windsor, Ont., added two assists in 11 playoff games and recorded nine multi-point contests during the regular season, headlined by a four-point effort on Sept. 29 vs. Flint (4a)."
