The Detroit Red Wings acquired a 2025 fourth-round pick today to facilitate the trade that sent center Yanni Gourde from Seattle to Tampa Bay. The Kraken shipped Gourde to Detroit for defense prospect Kyle Aucoin. The Red Wings then sent Gourde to the Lightning for a conditional fourth-round pick.

The Red Wings are on the cusp of a wild card spot with 21 games to go, and trying to snap a franchise-worst eight-year playoff drought.

Selected by Columbus in the third round (No. 89) of the 2013 NHL Draft, Bjorkstrand has 375 points (167 goals, 208 assists) in 606 regular-season games for the Kraken and Blue Jackets and 20 points (10 goals, 10 assists) in 45 Stanley Cup Playoff games.
