Nashville Predators and Detroit Red Wings officially make a trade

The Nashville Predators have officially traded Jesse Kiiskinen and a second-round pick to the Detroit Red Wings for Andrew Gibson.

Gibson was originally a second-round pick in 2023 and is only 19 years old. It is likely that he was a target of the Predators in the 2023 draft but the Red Wings picked him up before they could. He is coming off a strong campaign with the Soo Greyhound of the OHL scoring 44 points in 68 games as a defenseman.

Kiiskinen was also drafted in 2023 but in the third round and performed well in the Finnish Liiga scoring 10 points in 38 games.
