Emotional was a word that was used several times during the postgame press conference after the Detroit Red Wings’ 5-4 overtime loss to the Seattle Kraken Kraken on Thursday night at Little Caesars Arena, and it was easy to understand why.
On Wednesday evening, the Red Wings sent Filip Hronek and a fourth-round pick in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft to the Vancouver Canucks for a conditional first-round selection and second-round pick in 2023. Then on Thursday morning, Detroit traded Tyler Bertuzzi to the Boston Bruins for a 2024 first-round pick and a fourth-round pick in 2025.
