Trade grade
Too little NHL production to grade.
Looking back from 2026 at what each side's haul produced since 2017.
Detroit Red Wings0Team pts: 86 before → 62 after
No NHL production from this side.
Value = position-weighted production for the acquiring team, with playoffs weighted up and bonuses for Cups and major awards won there. Picks count as the drafted player's production, and when a piece was later re-traded, whatever came back counts toward this trade too, so value follows the full chain. Production only, no salary/cap context. Best-effort.
