The Wings then traded Del Zotto to the
The Detroit Red Wings have reportedly dealt forward Givani Smith to the Florida Panthers in a three-team deal. The deal sent Smith to the Panthers, who, in turn, sent defenseman Michael Del Zotto to the Anaheim Ducks. The Ducks turned around and shipped forward Danny O’Regan to the Red Wings organization. The 3-team deal helped
Let’s pour one out for the Givani Smith era, folks. The Red Wings have sent Smith to the Florida Panthers in a three-way trade that also results in center Danny O’Regan coming to Detroit. The third part of the deal, Michael Del Zotto, moves from Florida to the Anaheim Ducks in the trade. How you
