BREAKING: Red Wings Trade Nyquist To Sharks

And just like that, another domino falls. The Detroit Red Wings have moved pending UFA Gustav Nyquist to the San Jose Sharks.

Nyquist has been one of Detroit’s best players this season, but at 29-years-old his run in Detroit is at its end. The Wings are going younger as they rebuild themselves into a contender and Nyquist is best served on a team that can use his skills to win now while he’s in his prime.

The conditional 2020 third-round pick will become a 2020 second-round pick if the Sharks make the Stanley Cup Final this year or Nyquist re-signs with the Sharks.

Nyquist’s final stats with the Red Wings was a total of 480 games played, 124 goals, and 170 assists.
