Detroit Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman (pictured) made a loud statement on Monday when he traded talented, but wildly inconsistent forward Anthony Mantha (who signed a four-year contract with the Wings just before the season started) to the Washington Capitals for forwards Jakub Vrana, Richard Panik, and two future draft choices.
Bobby Ryan, arguably the team s most valuable trade asset, won t be going anywhere; he s done for the season because of an injury. Sam Gagner, also an upcoming UFA, has missed several games recently with an undisclosed injury, but Jeff Blashill said after the morning skate that Gagner
Danny DeKeyser and Alex Biega cleared waivers.
